I am going to drive it into the heated garage and throw a car cover on it... and check back in 5-7 months.

This guy has a good idea!

The best idea.

I like to deflate the tires, drop a handful of bird seed under the hood, and turn on the dome 💡.

On my ex wife's car that is 😛

 

[OLDBAYCRAB]

That's easy. You just need a more fun snow blower. View attachment 4910

JIMMY,

Did you move to NOME ALASKA?

That is insane... looks like something from a ski resort...

Don't forget to piss on or around the heater core, so she can enjoy that fresh clean scent in the spring at startup...

Just open the door to the garage and let the a/c in. Watt I dooo. Or when the fire gets too hot in the kitchen and the in the garage, can't understand the spanish. Buy a spot cooler and a cd.

Not quite, OBC, not quite.

No, that contraption started life as an innocent Unimog SEE (Small Emplacement Excavator). Converted the loader to a Quick-Tach setup so that it'll accept Bobcat style attachments, then ran "extension hoses" from the PTO driven backhoe out to the loader...and plugged them into a skid steer hydraulic snow blower.
And it actually worked.

Much nicer than sitting on an open tractor with a PTO driven 3-point blower. Heck, the SEE even has a heated windshield, which helps a lot since that fine mist always tries to end up on the operator.

So your place is at the most northern part of NM close to Colorado state line? That would be on a lower parallel than MD but, you definitely have better skiing there than here.

Your pic even gave Jen a chill...



Beautiful location. GODS COUNTRY...

 

[Jimmy N.]

Yep, very close to the border.
But I think it's the altitude here, more so than the parallel, that dictates the weather.

So it can get a bit "nippy", as Jen found out.

 

[OLDBAYCRAB]

Ahhhh yes, it's the altitude for sure. What was I thinking?... Obviously not thinking hard at all....

Yep... nippy is the word alright...

Crisp, clean air... nice.
