I miss the beauty of the Yoop, miss my family and friends.....but I do not miss the amounts of snow that comes with it. We had a 8 foot snowblower on the back of one of our tractors.....Look at the bright side, you don't have any mosquitoes. Stay warm Dave!
You know if a guy didn't go anywhere the snow is pretty cool. I love the change of seasons but not the white knuckle driving. Thanks for watching, KPO.
@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors Hard to believe the trails and two tracks the dog I walked grouse hunting last October are now under several feet of snow. As long as it's gone in 7 months, I'll be fine.
Very cool area. Deer, moose, lots of room to roam and some nice lakes in the area. You could probably spend a life time exploring Lake Michigamme. I've done some camping at Craig Lake state park near there. KPO
New to channel great video I’m from mid Michigan moved to Arizona in the 80s. I sure do miss Michigan not the snow but the beautiful state and all my family thanks for sharing
Alex, welcome to the channel. I do like snow, but it got to be a little much this past winter. 30s and 40s all this week so it's on the way out. Thanks for watching, KPO.
Richard, I do have a set of chains for my plow truck too, but I seldom put them on. I usually plow a few other driveways (parents if they go to Florida, daughter, in-laws). So I have to drive off property on pavement and it's kind of a pain to take them on and off. But you are right, chains make a huge difference! Thanks for watching, KPO.
@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors Here on the Western end of the Upper Peninsula , tomorrow we start off with rain and then changing to snow and THEN!...up to 10 inches of snow, drifting and unfortunately an Arctic blast of cold, but, just glad for the snow. The ski hills are really needing it and a good snow storm always charges me up.
@@jeffreyhowes7397 On Christmas Eve we got around 15-20 inches of snow. It was cold, but getting back up into the 20's this week. Check out Powderhorn, Blackjack and Indianhead.
If you experience that much snow every year, you should get a tractor with a PTO to drive a blower. You can only push snow so far. At least with a blower you can throw it farther. Also here in Buffalo Ny a lot of us use snow rakes with 20ft extensions to get the snow off. Seems safer than possibly falling off the roof. It's to bad I got rid of my sled 10yrs ago because we don't get a lot of snow anymore or snow that sticks around long. I'm kind of jealous of what you have there.
Yes, tractor and blower would be the best. I have the tractor already. Most years it's not an issue and actually it may not be an issue this year either. I do have a lot of room to push the snow way to the sides of the driveway. But you have to start the winter off by pushing way to the sides. The first year I lived here I didn't know what to expect so I kept the driveway pretty wide. I finished up the winter with the driveway being about 25 feet wide (a bit overkill). Of course it takes longer to keep it wide. And a lot of people do use those roof rakes here too. Thanks for watching and I'll take a sno mo ride for you tomarrow, KPO.
@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors I am a fabricator , would snow blowers for the truck sell up there ? I have a corn head to a small combine that has everything I need to build it . Wondering if it would sell ?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge i am new. Bought property in UP year ego north of michigame lake.
Lake Michigamme near the town of Michigamme or the Michigamme Reservoir near Crystal Falls?
Town of michigame i think on Dishno rd

Hate to rub it in but we’re in the high 70s and low 80s this week 😎
We had 45 out today. But it felt like 80!
Knetters Practical Outdoors I’m sending some warm weather your way
We'll take it! KPO.
Down in Eau Claire 58 inch in February. Put chains on my 4 wheel drive plow truck helped greatly

WE REALLY GOT TO MUCH SNOW THIS YEAR !
Yes, it was a bit much, KPO.
Digging out a snowmobile is the absolute worst!
It does suck, KPO.
Propably LYNX make snowmobiles that have long and wide crawler enough for deep snow. (Bad english, I know)
@@pekkakuosmanen65 I could use one rn we are getting buried 🤣
This year...2020, 4 inches of snow and Christmas is only 9 days away. What a difference a year makes. In a helluva lot ways!
Sucks so bad cause I am so ready to take a trip up there to ride
I'm enjoying it too, but our time is coming, KPO.

@@randallerickson175 so you thinking after the new years it will be good up in the u.p.?

I can smell the 2-stroke from here!@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors
LOL, yes! I like the smell of 2 stroke. It usually means power auger, outboard motor or snowmobile and that means fun, KPO.

Hopefully most of it is gone by July when I come back for vacation haha
I don't know about this year Cujo. I think July will be a toss up. Thanks for watching, KPO.
SISU
ND
Well that was depressing!
No worries, it will all be gone in 3 months. KPO
The hell with the snow. Not good. Deer don’t like it, I’m from south Louisiana. People don’t know how to drive in it. Hell with snow and ice.
We get used to it, KPO.
Remind me, how many storms hit y'all this year? And we only got 2. Can't wait to get UP there.
