One of our favorite "hobbies" during winter time is transporting snow to a place in the yard where it bothers least. In our first and second year in Lapland we were crazy (or rather fit) enough to do the shoveling by hand. We still do that a bit but more for clearing in front of our porch.
During the last years Jan used our dear friend,
the walking tractor with plow. We still love our friend and haven't completely given up on him as he serves us during the summer for our potatoe land.
So, this winter we have upgraded to using our quad for snow clearing. Jan built a suspension for the plow, installed a winch and we were ready to go!
It was wet snow today that came down, thus very heavy snow. No problem for our King Quad though...
And as it is tradition up here...even the smallest (youngest) have to be there, too!
Who knows... we might become more and more Swedish or norrländsk as people would say here. After all, we have been living here for quite a while now!
