It's snow fun

With temperatures hovering around 0 and over 12 inches of snow on the ground, I bundled up and turned the key on my trusty tractor so I could start blowing and plowing snow.  Even with a  battery charger on all night, all I got was a feeble attempt to get the ice cold engine to turn over.  At that point, I knew it would be a long day!  Thanks to my son-in-law and two trips to the nearest auto parts store in Plattsburgh, I was able to get the driveway open as darkness and really cold wind chills closed in.  I should have realized the 9 year old battery in the tractor was not up to another North Country winter.   I have said this many times, but for the record, I hate winter.
