Roseanna took this photo in 2017, to say Merry Christmas to Willys fans from CJ3B.info in Canada. (See more Christmas tree photos below.)
After we moved up to Oconto Lake from Kingston in 2004, the CJ-3B's most important chore became clearing the snow so we can get out to the road in the winter. See the snowplow brackets (120K JPEG).
As of 2024 her plowing days are over and I've passed her on to Bob Christy.
Typically there was some brushing, scraping, maybe digging, and maybe even a battery boost before we were ready to plow the driveway.
Once the Township plow went past on the road and created a wall across the end of the driveway, we could start.
If the snow's dry it's not too difficult, but if it's wet then low-range is helpful and we might need to raise the plow a bit and take a couple of passes.
Keeping the window open can be handy, and also helpful in keeping the windshield clear since we don't have a defroster.
Down at the road we had to do a few 3-point turns to clear out the entranceway.
Some of the snow got pushed down the hill towards the lake.
If we went too far down the hill when the snow is wet, we could get some help from the Liberty to get back up.
I always liked to take a photo with the Christmas tree. This was 2006-07 with just a dusting of snow.
We had quite a bit of snow in 2008-09.

This sticky snowfall was in February 2013.
