How snow was cleared 44 years ago, things have changed since.

That is my dad, operating the tractor, and my brother Tony in the brown tuque, me in the red, and John in the blue.

And he was smart enough to have a snow bucket back then. My dad said it was a real treat running a tractor all night without a cab. I'm glad i don't know what it was like. Great video thanks for posting.

What a great video, thanks for sharing! This is why I try to take photos when I'm out working - imagine how different it will be in another 40+ years.

Also, to echo JD Dave's comments, real glad I don't have the open cab experience either..

What a great video Paul. That is a piece of history, bet there are not a lot of videos like that kicking around. Thanks for sharing!

Nice video, you can almost watch you and your brothers taking in what "dad" is doing. Looks like he was breeding the next generation of snow fighters in this video right here.
