Snow looks good we only got about half of what you guys did here ( north of detroit ). The wind made it seem as if there was a foot at my condos! Does your new holland have a block heater? I have a had to take a heat gun to my gelled filters to get it started. I am now running diesel 911 fuel additive and using my block heater. If I plug it in the glow plugs do not even cycle.

And a few of mine ... not much room for snow :p

[Vaughn Schultz]

So they said the snow was done and then the lake machine kicked in and dropped about 5 more inches, total in lisle il was 11.6''. This was us unloading a skid loader at an apartmentwesport
