Keith, you could probably do first again?, which would be a double. ....and warmest.

[Bob Carriere]

Two licensed vehicles ...maybe a third one........ much of our snow has been compacted by freezing rain and crusted..... it may be a challenge to cross the back field but will darn well try....... already given up being first as the Aussies will be there first even if they sleep in.......

How much snow you got Phil????

Hi Bob

Right now the ground is basically bare, some ice, but in about 3 hours a snow storm is supposed start and dump 12 to 18 inches of heavy wet snow on us.

If I don't plow with the storm may have to take BEAUTY my C60S out to break trail so the pickup plow can make it out the drive.

Will post pictures.

Cheers Phil

Not possible for me this year as I'll be away but you Kiwis are a couple of hours ahead of us so go for it!

Hi Guys

Remember the challenge is about How Many of us will start our New Year by driving our CMPs and other MVs on the first day of the Year.

We did get the snow storm yesterday, but only 6 inchs, so my drive should be pretty but not a snow record challenge. Batteries charged, and the two trucks in cold storage, sitting in Temps ranging from -4 F to 40 F during the month of December, both started with out hesitation.

Happy New Year

Cheers Phil
