The snow must have held it down.<br \/>\nFront, back, and sides of the house and sheds all got a similar treatment. The snow was light and fluffy and so was easily broomed off. I got that done before it warmed up and then the small amount remaining melted and evaporated. <\/p>\n<p>I drove over to the Winery folks (Phyllis &#038; Cameron) for lunch on Friday. I hadn&#8217;t seen them since they returned from France. I did the first few miles in four-wheel drive because of slush.

The shifts can be done from inside the cab. Really old technology required one to turn &#8220;hubs&#8221; on the front wheels. These have mostly been replaced by auto-hubs. I sometimes use the 4X Low when pulling a log or several from the wood lot up to the shed. <\/p>\n<p>The low temp 6AM Sunday morning is expected to be about 20\u00b0F.
