Tried to plow it for spring melt but the snow banks the Cat plowed to hard on truck. Broke down exhaust and Transmisfion hooped. Hopefully get it towed down the hill soon. Could be major transmission job. I have had it. If people spread there tracks out and use chains the road would be a great road. Less damage to my truck. Using chains is safer and helps break up the ice. I do not get paid to plow the road. I use to enjoy it. But now looking at major repair bills forget it

Had to up and plow the road after a friend got stuck trying to back down the narrow road after it was plowed by a Cat and only 1 car wide. He temp st 4600 ft was +8’c. Big melt and freeze happening. Use chains the ice on road was kicking the plow around like it was a tinker toy I almost ended up in ditch several times as the stupid tire ruts screw up traction etc.

Tet road Use Brains Current Conditions Tuesday, March 06, 2018
Still not very cold and snow is compacting. Freeze and thaw happening. Snow depth has gone down by 20 cms in last week daytime temps have warmed up and more sun more melt etc. 1 am can’t sleep tempted to go plow the road but after last weeks I have damage to oil system. Branches on road jill poked and broke oil line. And after seeing a Chevy Cruise car with no chains on why should I plow it and risk my life. With idiots driving to fast on very narrow snow road. Large school group up there should be god inf posted next week.
