i heard of throwing snow into the neighbor's yard but wow, this guy is sending it down the block

Wachel

Thanks for the comments!

Yeah, this thing doesn't mess around. It throws the snow with such force that the pine trees get all their needles knocked off...those big chunks you see are as big as baseballs and some are even bigger!

You should see what's on the front of a train. I saw a video of it clearing tracks on Donner Summit in California and it was making very short work of 8' deep snow.

Great picture and relevant too

very cool. I'd hate to be cross country skiing by the road when that thing came by!

You mean that's not Tim Allen from tool timehuh

Very nice shot

Wachel

Don't worry...they don't shoot it over the houses...although, it may look that way. They use huge dozers to push all the snow into gigantic piles in parking lots. When they have time to come back they demolish the pile with a dozer and this bad boy. The snow is shot into the woods.

Thanks for all the comments!

I really like the sharpness of the snow against the blue sky, great capture.

Thanks...the contrast between the blue and the white was what caught my eye and made me want to capture it.

The sun was low on the horizon and the light was great...of course in AK at this time of the year the sun is always low on the horizon!

Taken at about 11:30am.

Oh yeah ... send that my way please

Snow is moving in ... how much we get is still in question.
