I remember winters like this when I was a kid living in Northeastern Montana , feeding the bulls was easy just open the hay loft door get the bales of hay close to it and toss them out they didn't have far to fall before hitting a snow drift and they slid up to the hay bunk .
The cows we would plow snow with the tractor to feed bales to them .

Where to put the Snow was a problem for us back then as well it usually was piled up on the down wind side of the yard when possible ha ha !
I lived in Northwest Iowa for a while as a kid. Farmers up there used snow fences in the winter to keep the lane open and in some places along the highways. If you get enough show and it doesn't warm up enough to melt the snow fences get overwhelmed.

I love the people and the country up there but I couldn't handle those winters - been in Missouri too long to return to Iowa.

I grew up in Omaha and lived on a tertiary street - meaning - it was third in line for the plows and sometimes it took a few days for them to get to our neighborhood. And our driveway was about 100 feet long, I've shoveled some snow. Don't miss it since moving to Idaho.

In Missouri we get some snow but it melts in a few days. That's not necessarily the case further North.

Same in Idaho, down here in SW Idaho we rarely have snow on the ground for more than a few days, in the last few years I think I've shoveled once or twice.

When I lived in North Idaho I remember shoveling 2-3 times a day, so much actually, I got a SLAP tear in my shoulder and had to have surgery, I know the exact moment it happened - damn lifted concrete edges...
