I must say that is the weirdest Desert Cammo scheme I've seen...

It's for snow deserts!

Actually just different etch primers on old red paint.

I'm intrigued about your plough...
Can you raise and lower it from inside the cab and can you change the blade angle?
I like your snow chains! Doesn't that cause the wheels to spin and snatch though? Is that a bit of a half shaft breaker?

I do like your snow photographs. 
I wish we got that much, maybe work would succumb then to buy me a plough.
Minus three the other morning for me when i started mine up outside and went to work.

That's ace. I would 100% make a snowplough if we got snow like this more often.

I'd be better off with a boat now though. As Gene said, the thaw has started today - and it's not messing about!

Seems to be warmer where you are than in Texas at the moment. The world has gone mad!

Almost Spring like here in Berkshire

Likewise here.  The drizzle has stopped and it's brightening up. Nearly 50F outside now.

About to go and recce the 1.5 miles of forest track the Calor gas tanker needs to get down to fill our heating tank. Its been ice-bound since early January. Not the end of the world because we have a "Plan B" of bottled gas we can cut over to if needed - but its that bit more expensive than the bulk tank....  The problem of being the wrong side of a bridge that was built before HGVs were even a concept ! - our "usual" access route.

Just as well you've got an alternate way in! The gas lorry would need to be full of helium to get over your bridge without turning it to rubble 

[Genem]

One Calor truck did try, could not make the turn, luckily.  Recce report is that the entrance to the forest road is a 100m of skating rink and several sections of the track similar. It'll be a few days yet before that lot melts :-( 

Gas tank well into the red.

Warm SW wind has been battering through Glasgow today. Temperature is up ~15 degrees C in 24 hours. Everything has melted here pretty fast ...
Not many people to be seen working in your office block, Gene! I can look down into it from my window ...

Yes, there is a push pull lever inside, Next to the steering column, red knob. Also I can angle the plow but I need to do it outside.
Pics to follow.
