For heavy, lake effect snow, I usually use the tractor and rear blade to move the snow 6’ into the grass then use the 4 wheeler to get a curl going and throw it off the road. With another 10”-20”
By Monday, biggest mistake is not leaving room for more. It’s easily over my knees and half way to the family jewels . The bucket is nice when u have to pile but the ground is not frozen so it’s real abusive on me…

(Your the last one I expected a plowing lesson for Phil but you city guys probably only plow pavement. lol)
It's a different animal. I've used quads before on sidewalks. Never an entire driveway on snow as deep as you are dealing with. My experience with snow is at a different level. Skid loaders, backhoes, wheel loaders, and trucks. I knew you had a tractor and quad. Just didn't know what the quad was capable of in these snow depths. We battle it as it falls. Customers won't tolerate waiting until there is 6" or more. I figured the quad would work for you, but you would have been out every hour or two moving 2-6" at a time to keep up. I saw you had some accumulation and figured is was tractor time. Just curious what your strategy was in these depths.

We don’t have any snow, we don’t have your daytime temps, but we did have the high winds today, and I had to remove my flags because of it. The ole flagpole was having a stress test! Our overnight lows for tonight and tomorrow night are in the teens…..
