Unfortunately, we live at the bottom of it. Studded tires get us out; have only had to use chains once in the last 10 years.
When I was coming down, I had had to take a truck with a broken radiator & no coolant to the top, because the tow truck couldn’t make it down to take it to the shop. I had strap-on ice cleats, but the ice was so hard they wouldn’t penetrate, and even broke two of the spikes off.
Snowing again today; I’m going to hunt down & roast that ##@*&***% groundhog!
Got seeds and potato sets ordered, and want to get cracking! Also a bit anxious to see if my fall planted garlic & grains survived.
Our neighbor to the south is at the bottom of a steep driveway. We are at the top of the valley and they are below. Hubby has gone down and plowed them out more than a few times this winter as their snowblower just doesn’t cut it. They have a parking place up top near the road where they can leave a car. Plus hubby has to travel some for work and mom has 6 little ones. What state are you in? Nothing I like better than killing a fat groundhog, but I would never eat one, Ok I guess I should never say never. Hope your garlic made it, fall is definitely the best time to plant. There is never enough garlic.....
