Yeah!  I hear you there!   The snow needs to melt, or at least the sun hit it so it gets a frozen crust.   Dragging through all this sucks.  I’m not even sure if the Wilcraft will plow through it.  How far up your leg was the snow after last night?

Haha!!  That’s awesome!   Thanks for the update.  This is going to be fun if that stays the rest of the season.   ???
