Moving the mess





For those of you in the Chicago area you are likely tired of hearing about snow. We all got more than we wanted. The dig-out continues here at the farm. Lake Avenue, the road that runs along our south border, had a monster drift from the farm extending into the north lane of Lake Ave. To tackle the problem the State brought a couple loaders to try to move the drifts. After a short while they gave up and went home. Next they brought out the biggest snow blower I have ever seen. This thing was able to chew up and spit out an entire lane's worth of snow in one pass. Very impressive.
