yet there is still animals in deep snow areas.

This is why folks that trap appose later season opening dates.
Yeah, they're prime. Where do I park the truck?

Stay safe folks.

Imagine being a young of the year fox or whatever animal that's never even seen snow, and waking up to that. That much snow has got to be tough on the critters too.

Watched some news clips of equipment struggling to even move in all that. One thing in common.....no chains.

Moved from town to country a few years back and needed equipment to clear my own road. 70HP tractor, but 2wd. First BIG snow.......close to 20 inches.......got tractor out and it came to a dead stop 20 feet from the barn. Would not budge. Forward or back. Worked myself back to the barn by scooting tractor backwards with front bucket.......1 foot at a time.

Solution? Tractor tire chains. Put those on and something is going to move. Putting chains on tractor now an annual event. Sometime after thanksgiving, pick a warm day and chains go on, and stay on till March.

Second trick.......tractor blade now fitted with 2 inch steel pipe on blade edge. Will not dig and gouge gravel or grass......skims along.......pinches snow to pop up to be rolled off to the side. The two combined will handle anything MO is ever going to get.

66 inches of snow fell on Buffalo, NY, with more coming!

I think of retarded stuff like that too!

No, a red fox can handle -60°
