This one is dedicated to Phil.........
First of all basic facts...... Sunny and a pleasant -6 C....slight breeze...time noon when we started..... dark when it ended. About 36 inches of snow on the ground some compasted and some ice crust about midway. Walking you never sink to the bottom ( whcih by the way the ground is not yet fully frozen) but your tires will dig down to the wet turf then the bottom floats. Yes a CMP can float on snow and loose all traction. The day then turned to New Years Sucks...... The Hup would not fire up..... we tried and tried and towed it on the street where the pavement was bare for better traction.....cough and cough but wuld not start..... Plan "B"....get the M 37 going..... and we did. For the photos we went to the larger back field were no one in is right mind would drive.... NOTE....... when the photographer waves to stop.....don't once you loose your momentum you are dead... More to come
