I give Ohio credit, had the roads I. Great shape. The first is in the tiny town of Chester right near the farm.

WV not so much, the second picture is the 4 lane connector route 33 from 77 to the bridge in Ravenswood.

We got another 3 here for a total of 11-12". I cleaned my driveway for the second time the week, and only the 3rd time in 6 winters. It's a legit winter wonderland in southern Ohio right now. A lot of people are not equipped to handle this much snow. Once I find the right deal on a box scraper, I'll be spending my day on the tractor helping neighbors when this happen. Just spent an hour on mine listening to MeatEater Trivia and enjoying the cold. Good times.

Worked pretty good but 3-4” of wet snow made it heavier than a mfer. I drug first tarp by hand and wore my ass out then hooked up another and hooked up to old blue and drug it to end of driveway and dumped to side. I have one more to drag off but that’ll have to be later with truck as well probably. Lol

Drug off the 3rd and final tarp off the apron just now and went much faster and easier based on learning moments with first 2. Lol
Definitely better than shoveling and walking full loads of snow over to edge a hundo times. Snow blower would be great for a one car pad but multiple unless it can throw it almost 20’ to do 2 lanes it would seem counter productive to me. It would definitely help to have tarps with reinforced eyelets and edges for dragging with vehicles. Two of these tarps were old pool cover a co worker gave me to cover firewood. A big nego factor would be ice freezing it to concrete or freezing rain on top making it too heavy and could possibly lead to tearing.
