    3. Yup! 1st off I got 4 snow machines that need to get the summers dust knocked off of them 2nd as it gets colder, the frost goes deeper.. without a good insulating cover of snow If it gets deep enough, people begin to experience a BIG inconvenience with frozen water pipes and frozen septic systems. Fortunately, I've never had those experiences, but I've helped a few others who have... So I usually do my worrying and complaining now, get it out of the way..
