I was raised in the Sierras where the average annual snowfall was 300-500 inches (and more some seasons), so snow has never seemed a problem to me! It don't snow anywhere near that amount out here! But, it does get real cold! It's below zero as this is being written...
We have snowmobiles if the snow was a problem, to get into civilization... Let me tell ya CB, they are more of a hoot than our Harleys too! It's a long ride to "town", about seventeen miles, but what a thrill cutting through the hardwood forests to get there. You sure have to dress for it, even with modern day warming technology!
Fuel is no problem (yet). I keep a 750 gallon gravity fed fuel tank filled with farm gas (non ethanol! with stabilizing preservative runs me $2.75 per) for our tractors and other non-diesel using farm equipment.
That, with the diesel fuel tower tank, and three 500 gallon propane tanks, fuel is not a problemo... It will be when the shtf! But we always have firewood from the 5-6 sections of land we oversee for the tribe to keep our tootsies warm!
