Filming this must be chilly! Thumbs up to the shefilmer!
Yes. She gets cold but she won’t give up until it’s done lol
Can you imagine growing up like that, I'm from the west coast of Newfoundland and this is what we see every winter. We had a two-story home and we managed to get on the roof and jump off into the snow drifts, I guess it's sure when they say you can never go home again. But I love Newfoundland this is where I reside this is where my children and my grandchildren live.#proudNewfie
To tell you the truth Id rather have Corner Brook winters than what we have on the East Coast of Newfoundland. At least on the west coast once winter comes it’s there to stay. Over here winter is just a mess. You can have a brutal snow storm over here and have it turn to pouring rain before the day is over.
I grew up in Lab. City. Yes it was cold and yes the winters were brutal but I loved it there. In this video the storm is bad because it crippled everything. Shut the city down for ten days. Crazy weather. Keep well and thanks for watching.
Paul, don't let the haters get to you, I've watched you for years and can tell you know what you're doing. The best videos on RUclips, Kathy is the best boss and best video operator in minus temps.
Thank you Marvin. Sometimes I actually question myself on why I bother with this stuff but it’s cool comments like yours that help me answer it. Thank you for your kind comments and you really made Kathy smile as well. She really is responsible for these videos. I’ve seen her blowing on her fingers while filming but she will never give up. She’s always looking for the next great shot. A true professional videographer.
I do agree on that because you guys have super video's on You tube thanks you guys and GOD BLESS.
Daniel Richard Thanks Daniel. Hope your doing well.
I agree Marvin, the haters are going to hate no matter what. Most of them have probably never even seen snow.
@@7863348 Keep em coming we love it out here in Ontario. Bless.
I've been operating snow blowers for 50 of my 65 years and I can say that tractor is matched real well with the blower. I've used to large of blower for the horse power and to small for the horse power. Now I use an old 7045 allis chalmers and an 8 foot blower for my 1/2 mile driveway. The rear mount is kind of a pain in the neck but nothing stops it!. Keep up the good work.
Wow! I will never complain about snowdrifts again! Nice job cleaning up. I feel for those without a tractor. Great video. Thanks to you both and God Bless.
Thank you Cathy for filming out in the cold. Great work and nice to see you both are still working hard. Keep up the great work. :)
Hey Paul sorry that people are judging you harshly. People should offer suggestions never judgements. You and Cathy work hard and I hate when people are mean to you's both. If they don't want to help then they shouldn't judge.
Thank you very much. Nice of you.
@@7863348 Your very welcome and thank you for the kind words. :)
Paul, I watched the end of the video with your in cab footage. That was great. I felt like I was sitting next to you. And your customization of the tractor shows. Very nice machine and a great video. Thanks so much. 👍👍👍
Thanks Greg. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Stay safe out there 👍
Paul there are to many people who love to criticize things and don't ever do any thing we had today 8 inches of heavy wet snow it was hard to mve fast we have a kubota BX 2370-1 works good but all machines are only as good as the operator and I am learning thank and keep the videos coming
God Bless All
PaK
Absolutely Peter. I will stop learning the day I take the room temperature challenge.
Bota Bob yes but at one point at the beginning he was blowing snow into the wind, even homesteaders know not to do that
Last two words of every video “God Bless.” Just found you on RUclips a couple months ago. Have enjoyed every one. God Bless!
Thanks Gary.appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Hope you have a happy and safe weekend. ……God Bless………..Paul
Just listening to the snow crunch under your feet I know it is darn cold.
Glad you were able to get it cleared up! Our old JD 950 with its 27 Hp Yanmar diesel and no live PTO was a bear to snow blow with. Back it into a drift, and you had to pop it out of gear to let it clear the blower. You couldn't simply stop it moving and have the PTO still operate. Mind you, it saved us for close to 30 years! I do miss it now, but I couldn't get up unto it any more. Thank goodness for our great neighbours who blow the main part of our driveway for us!
That’s quite the “Blowsnower” ya got on the back of your tractor Paul. Good job. Chin up the sun will come back and she’ll melt.
Cheers from Stony Plain, Alberta
Thank you for sharing your snow removal experience. I truley enjoyed watching. Thank you again.
Snow is always easiest to move, when you have a place to move it to.😉
Some people have no clue about that, nice little gardens and flower beds along their driveways, sidewalks, in the middle of the lawn, 😂
Great video guys, keep your chin up, 👍👍👍👍
Paul/Kathy: That was some impressive video of the snowblower clearing out the drive up towards Gasoline Alley. That really showed the power of Killer. Thanks Kathy for standing out in that mess while that "Wild Man" drove that Orange Killer around while sitting in a heated cab... :) Thanks for some Awesome Video!!! Be careful out there you two...
God Bless
Holy moly! I remember seeing house my dad lived in when young. It had a door on the second floor for winter use.
Here in mn in 1984 in park rapids mn got 36" in 24 hours and the winds left drifts on the highway that were impassable for days and then I saw what happened to you ,and mother nature can really pack a punch when she wants too ,hope everyone is safe ,Thanks for the video's Paul,after watching there's always a method to the madness when it come's to doing these things and you just have to have patience and watch until its finished and everything looks the way it should.You and Kathy are so cute ,and everything looks and sounds great,Thanks again
Wow this brings back some old memories of me in the snow we had so much you could build tunnels through it, had to have a D 9 dozer to get us cleared out there where drifts over 8 feet high. We could climb on top of our ranch style house with no problem and check out the chimney on the roof, in some places it was over 12 feet high and covered the whole side of the house you could not open a single window. When the snow melted we had a dirt pile that was about 8 feet high. The driveway was about a little over a 5/8 of a mile long. Great video Kathy and Paul you guys are the cats meow for sure.
Thank you. Ya the good ol day’s. I remember it that way growing up. Now winters are less predictable. Some winters are packed with snow and others, like ours last year had barely any snow. Thanks for watching.
Every homestead is unique when it comes to clearing snow, till u walk in someone's shoes just be understanding, thanks for sharing guys.
Paul that is the same storm we had in BC last Sunday/Monday but we had little wind. Snow just came straight down. We have had near a
meter snow from then to today and it is still snowing here in the Kootenays of BC I spend about an hour and a half doing just what your
doing. Good old Kubota tractors just keep on working. Good Luck to all of you.
Hi Paul thanks for all the great ideas greatly appreciate it all
Geeeeeeee, what a storm , this one is a monster !!!!!!
What a nice machine this tractor , i am sure that you appreciated. that heated cab. 60 hp machine
This time we have a video for our money !!!
This one beats all your previous plowing video
What a nice gestor of you to show us the storm and taking the time to make that video , with the work that you have to do
Thank you so much , i realy appreciated to see that .Its give us a picture of your storm and the size !!!!!
You and Kathy are very good ,and took it with a smile
Thank you again
Serge ( from Mtl )
I like you two , take care
Thanks for sharing folks, nice tractor and operating, warm wishes from Calgary!
Boy oh boy you got the jackpot with snow love the drifts so cool how the wind packs it in cool video guys Napa mike 👍
“Ain’t fit for man nor beast out there” love it , thx Paul
😂
a great video as i have driven lifts for 30 years and although not the same concept when you can operate a piece of equipment really well and love what you do it makes a difference. we were even lucky enough to operate "slip -sheet" lifts where light pallets of "megabloks" toys were piled onto sheets of very strong fiber instead of pallets and it certainly takes some practice to push and reverse all at the same time.
I often questioned why Paul needed such a large tractor. I don't anymore. I think Paul can see the future. :)
Again, great job. You say it'll take u 4.5 hrs with a snowblower. Funny, when I only had a snow scoop, I wish I had a snowblower. Got a blower, now I wants a kubota. Lol. Wish we had a bigger building lot. And it's a want, not a need. Thank's also to Kathy for filming in the cold. Colder than a witches t*t out there today. 😂👍❄🥶🌨🚜
Blow Snower's paradise! ❄❄❄
Glad to see you faired out well P&K!
Hi Kathy:
We had about an inch of snow followed by ice and rain, but it’s all gone today. Stay dry and warm and give my best to Paul.
Best - Michael
That is serious snow and a serious snow blower. Many years ago, I lived in the adirondaks, northern NY state and saw snow like this. I now live in Georgia and only see snow like this on YT. Oddly, I have a Kubota F3680 which is used by some in Ontario to move snow. I will be ok with the occasional inch of snow we may see. I doubt it will be this season. Thanks for the snow moving video demonstration from people that know how to handle snow. You are the experts at it. 👍
Paul, we had our own Snowmeggedan on the West Coast this past week, however it was nothing like what nature hit you folks with. I have to say I was hoping you would put out a video on Bay Roberts, so thanks. Glad everyone is safe and have to say we have always enjoyed your posts.
Glad you enjoyed it Gavin. I figured this might be a once in a lifetime chance to capture this blizzard event. Thanks for watching. Keep well.
Holy Snowman, Those are some drifts.
Interesting the new build next door has actually made life easier. I was expecting all the snow on the roof to end up in your garden when the wind kicked up.
Hey Paul and Kathy I couldn’t believe the amount of snow you guys got there I’ve been here when you guys got 76 cm I really enjoy your channel you too amazing for what you do for us sending love from Sarina Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you Kyle. Yes it really was an historic storm. I’ve never seen anything like it and hope I never will again. It’s was great that Kathy suffered the -24c cold to capture that wonderful video footage. She is the true hero here. We appreciate you taking the time to watch it. The Kubota really shined in this video and handled the task with ease.
We’ve been to Sarnia and loved that area. Thanks for watching. Keep safe.
Thanks Kathy and Paul! I enjoyed your video very much! Sorry you got hammered with so much snow and wind but it made for a very interesting video. Be safe and stay warm!
Paul people are short, you'll find out about your neighbors or fan people that don't like how you move snow where put it,they'll complain. Don't let it get you down or under your skin or they'll win. God bless you and keep blowing snow.
Whow thats a lot of snow and heavy winds,nice video and pictures paul and Kathy and have a great weekend 👍👍
Thank you paul and cathy for the video! Keep up the great work
I like watching both of you working by blowing snow. Thank you for sharing
Well thank you for watching 👍
Whoah, those are nasty drifts! Glad you guys are ok! Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Great video! Thanks Paul and Kathy 👍🏼
Nice to see someone working while a video is made and not adding lots of "fluff". That was more snow than we've had in three years.
Wow!! That snow drift is insane I wonder how that storm compares to the ones recently😳
Theres never been nothing since as bad as this one. It shut the city down for 9 days. I hope we never see another one like it. Thanks for watching.
Paul & Kathy, you put out great videos. I watched a couple maybe a couple months ago then this past week I subscribed to your channel and love it. I have been trying to get caught up with all the older videos and I must say very enjoyable. You do very nice work a true professional and your products show it. Hope to see more and thank you.
Hi Alan. Thank you for taking the time to watch and sub to our channel. We appreciate your kind comments as well. Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos. Keep well 👍
This would be a good time to discuss the virtues of factory cab vs. open cockpit tractors. The other time for that discussion would be June in Black fly season. Stay safe & warm.
Bob & Kim McDonald ... and to think that I almost bought an open station tractor last summer! Then I went out to my bush property to clear some overgrown fields and cut firewood. Between the deer flies, black flies, and mosquitos, I thought I might expire from blood loss! Decision made - I now own a cabbed Grand L4060 and I have zero regrets. It was worth every extra penny!
Great to hear and I agree you made the best decision. 60 series is a great tractor 👍
I like our BX for the summer for working around the property but hands down the cab is the way to go. flic.kr/p/LkHLib
Paul & Kathy Short I’d love a BX or even B series open station for those jobs where small and nimble is important. However, I do have a 1962 Massey Ferguson 50 with a FE loader that still runs well, so I can get my open air time with Mother Nature on that. While it’s a great classic tractor, and most everything still works , a smaller newer tractor with modern features would be awesome!
Hope the dig out for all our Nfld friends is coming along well. Here in Eastern Ontario we had about 15-20cm of snow over the last 24 hrs. Of course the weather channels were blasting gloom and doom of a “crippling snow storm”, but I don’t pay much attention to them anymore - it’s all sensationalism for ratings and hits on their channels. As a Canadian, I consider 15-20 cm (6-8” for non-Metric readers) just a lovely dusting 😏.
What you had out on the Rock is a REAL snowstorm - and one for the record books! I see there is even more weather coming your way so batten down the hatches and best of luck in the continuation of this harsh winter out there.
And thanks for the great videos! Now I’m off to fire up the L4060 and my 30 yr old Agro Trend rear snow blower to get some tractor therapy and clear that “dusting”!
Addendum to above: Yes indeed, the L60 series is a GREAT tractor. However, if you ever happen to add a door light switch to an L60 and make a video on it, you’d make me a very happy man LOL! Even my dealer is baffled that the L60 doesn’t have a door activated overhead light, particularly since the L40 has it. Don’t get me wrong - I did countless hours of research, looking, and test driving, and I’d buy the L60 again in a heartbeat, but darn I’d like that light to come on when I open the door at night! I’m sure I could figure out how to install a switch if I had the time, but always easier when a good video shows you the way!
Cheers!
Wow so much snow Paul and Kathy. We only going to get 3 -5 inches here in CT. Tonight. Stay warm.
Dont worry about ignorant critics..those are the arm chair snow shovelers that hire their driveways done and dont have a clue about property bounderies and maintaining room for the next storm or the one after...i did commercial plowing in the past and you see and do things different than the average home owner would..dont let the "perfect" people get you down lol
May you have a safe and happy 2020 Paul and Kathy short
Paul & Kathy God bless ya's both. I would do the same as you. Your doing it Great & your camera lady got some great pix too. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Glad your still doing great!
That was a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing. I'm from southwestern part of Virginia. I've never been to Newfoundland, & will probably only see it through someone else's eyes. Hated you had this Blizzard, so much snow. Keep warm, & God Bless you both too!
Thank you Kimberly for taking the time to watch and comment on our video. It was a very rough storm that impacted tens of thousands of people. We had it good compared to some but it was frightening to go through. Keep well and God bless you and yours. .........Paul
It's storms like that,that prove you can never have big enough equipment!Nice to have when you need it.
Hey you've got to do what you've got to do. I didn't see anything wrong with what you did.
Stay warm and stay safe.
God bless.
Rob and Kathy thanks for sharing. Hello from Calgary. That kubota attachment work awesome.
Thank you Matt, We appreciate you taking the time to watch.......Paul
Never been up there, came close when we dropped a crew member off on the way to Europe for medical reasons,
Looks a lot like Maine in the winter. You have got a nice rig, keep the vids coming.
I remember in 89, or maybe 90, in st johns, we woke up to opening the door to a door print of snow lol. Pots and pans to scoop out, and push me out the top lol. I think there was about 4 ft of snow but the drifts is what dickered everything up. Nothing loke what hit this time though. Was a fun snow day
wow
Great video. Looks like fun.
Wow our little bit of snow has been nothing compared to what you folks have gotten. This year I have plowed more snow and my Kubota has done the job excellent every time ! Just like yours, .
Great video Paul the tractor is doing its job glad to see your health is hanging in there and hello boss lady have a great day be safe.
Thank you. Yes I’m feeling great. Kathy keeps a close eye on me lol. God bless
Another great video as usual!
Thanks for sharing your videos . That is a lot of snow to deal with . Great camera work ; and I hope there was a free breakfast at a restaurant for you Kathy .😊
I always enjoyed this kind of video paul thanks 😁😁😊
Thanks Martin. Appreciate you watching. 👍
Hey sure enjoy watching you two. Great job on the videos! I learn things every time I watch. Keep up the vids 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank YOU for taking the time to watch 👍
You clearly know what you’re doing. Thanks for sharing your video with us. That’s a lot of snow my friend.
Thank you very much.
Great video. Reinforces my reasons for moving south.
Thanks 👍
Hello from Winnipeg. Thanks for posting your video, Paul and Kathy. Cheers.
And hello to you as well. Thank YOU for watching and commenting. ☺️
I don't miss the winters back home much during storms like that. But I don't care for the winters here in Saskatchewan, either. We had some for this morning and reminded me of home. Hope that the snow will let up sooner than later.👍
Great job & the video was fun--Debbie
Man that was the crasiest blizzard If have seen. Reminded me of the pictures I have seen here out west of the blizzards back in the 60 and 70s
Great job Kathy and Paul. Thanks for the video if you need any more snow I got lots you can have 😆. Thanks guys
Thank you. Na. We’re doing ok in the snow department 😅
Paul I’m glad I live in Kentucky and not that far north, Here is two 👍👍 up for you guys
You have to be tough or foolish to live here. I think I’m the latter 😂
Funny how wind driven snow will deposit sometimes. Biggest snowdrift I ever saw was a day we allegedly got 4", but apparently the only place that it landed was right next to the car dealership where the cars waiting for the service department were parked, under a drift about 20' high. Took end loaders and dump trucks to clean that up, not a flake anywhere else.
More than I would ever want. We had it piled up 7 feet in front of the garage and used a shovel it into the snowblower but it was only ten feet long. That was a huge storm for us in Wisconsin. I know have a B2601 and a front blower.

Hello Paul don’t worry about the youtube know it alls! I just got a Kubota BX2380 with a 55” commercial blower and Tektite heated cab and a 60” back blade. I don’t have to worry about where I blow snow anymore with the cab and many times I have to blow straight into the wind! I look after two senior neighbours and one has a carport and I have no choice but to blow low and straight ahead into the driveway while I’m travelling under the carport and right into gusting north winds. Even when I cleared the carport the wind blew the snow right back at me. This Saturday I had to battle that same north wind but with the heated cab I just fired up the wipers and let it fly! Big smile on my face. I blow snow the way I want to blow snow not the way an armchair you tuber tells me to! Have a great day from Sault Ste Marie where we have plenty of snow!
Congratulations on your new machine. I love those cabs on a BX. They are a ROPS cab as well. Very impressive. Hard to beat a BX. We have one that we use in the summer around the property. Outstanding unit. Keep well and thanks for watching.
@@7863348 I’m pretty sure I heard you say that you added a diverter to slow down the chute rotation. On my 55” commercial front blower the chute turns way to fast and it’s hard to get the right angle. I’ve been researching what I need to do to slow it down so I can control the direction more easily. Did you have a video on what you did? My deflector speed is A-ok
Not that I ever really published anything really worth watching, but it's all the negativity on RUclips that prevented me from continuing. I so admire your talents and your willingness to share all that you do. I hope you see past all that and continue sharing. Thanks again.
Thank you. I understand your feelings very well. I don’t think there’s a week that goes by where I haven’t considered quitting RUclips. Kathy questioned me yesterday when I was ready to launch this video if I was going to close the comment section as I had mentioned earlier and I said I’d leave it open. I didn’t want the few trolls to win and silent all the others. Maybe our stuff is not worth watching either but we get a few that enjoy it so that makes it worth while. Thank YOU for watching.
Hey there...We got alot of rain from that storm here in Ktown ON....getting more snow now & I will send the storm to you guys....Take care !
About time a massive blizzard hits there again! Hope we can get some bitterly cold temps and snow here in South Carolina (USA)
Those who respect neighbors, think ahead and analyze knew why you were blowing to the front of you during that section. You have more patience than me. I'd wear out my 'block' button, damn the torpedos! Great channel, as always!
Well it’s true what you say. It’s those arm chain specialists that question what we do and insult us at the same time but the fact is, 99% of viewers are great people. Thanks for watching
When you hear the snow crunch like that,,,you know its bloody cold !!!
Yup. It’s cold here. 💭
It always starts off so innocently. My hearts go out to you, prayers from Buffalo N.Y. at the Fort Erie, Canada. Border, Lake Erie, #blizzardof77 #Snowvember14
hey Paul. Working like a top she looks good and she's running like a smooth as a kitten
Yeah, and the tractor isn't doing too bad, either! Haha!
😂
I figured we would have a good snow plowing video after that storm. We had around 6" last night and wind. Spent a good hour or so with the BX and blower/loader clearing my drive. Haven't had a good 8" in awhile. Kind of miss them.
Wow! Paul and Kathy I’m glade I live in Mississippi lol. O buy the way I’m cutting my winter lawn grass lol, just thought I’d rub it in a little. I pray our lord Jesus Christ bless y’all and keep u safe
Lol. We’re used to this sort of thing. It sure makes life interesting. You keep safe. Thanks for watching. God bless
Take it from someone that plowed for years. You do what works best for you and everyone else that has BS to say about the way you do things. Well I think you get what I’m thinking. Enjoyed your video stay safe and warm. Thanks
Nice
Nice rig glad your all ok
Wow, Epic storm.
awesome snow blowing rig I think the rear mounted blower would drive me crazy but it certainly works awesome !
Na. A shovel would drive me crazy lol. I’m used to it but I also have the back up monotor I use at times flic.kr/p/9iZDjL
Thanks for watching Ted 👍
good job paul.
100% agree with how you have to blow your snow because of property lines. I have to blow my entire driveway at the garage, then blow it all in the 3 foot gap between my garage and fence. Thankfully we usually only get 6" max at a time in MN, although we've had two separate foot snows this year. Pays to have the right equipment!
When I was a kid growing up in Upstate NY we got snow storms with snow drifts like this all the time. One year Oswego NY got 103 inches in 3 days. RUclips it; you will be shocked to see how much snow they got . In front of my girlfriends house on State route 89 the snow drift was so high they cut a tunnel thru the snow so cars could continue on the road. Snow drifts approached roof tops and tops of telephone polls.
Just for fun here only...Looks like you two had a ball, a snow ball. My goodness sakes what a snow that was. made me think of the 1993 blizzard we ha here near where I'm at in NW NC. we had not had one bit of snow here yet but i bet we'll have our big snow sometime in Febuary or March. Seems like we got our snows during that time. But I don't have what you do but I'm looking forward getting on my "Beast" the B-7300 and do some snow moving myself but when? I have no clue. I guess when it happens it will someday but we've been lucky so far.
Man how people down others. There's no sense in that. If I were living next to you, I welcome you and Kathy with open arms and no snow will bother me a bit. it's got to go somewhere right ? I sure wouldn't mind. Anyway it's great seeing both of you again. My gosh, from the looks of it, it may be time to go in, warm up, and enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate if that's what you like. Enjoy life, enjoy one another, and love each other always.
God Bless both of you. Stay warm and be safe.
First time watching, great job!!!
Thank you.
Love those big boy toys!
Nice tractor/snow blower setup.
Thank you
Everybody is watchin Nfld and we saw St Johns shut down. here on south Georgian Bay, only 12 in. We know you guys out there are a hardy lot and will get through it,---GOOD LUCK--
Thanks Don. We sure will. Thanks for watching.
A Great video. Thanks Kathy for your great camera work. It is one of the rare videos where I am glad not to see your face. I hope it was well covered, protected from the cold. I don't know what the wind chill, but I imagine it was terrible. Please take care, Your charm adds a special quality to these videos., even nearly frozen, As for Paul, who is known the smartest and luckiest man on the Atlantic Seaboard (Remember Who He Married) I doubt any storm could keep him from coming home safe. God Bless and protect you both, my friends..
Well sir. You put a smile on kathy’s face that’s for sure and I really appreciate your kind comments. There’s no doubt about it, she’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Thanks for watching and commenting. God bless.
@@7863348 Thank you. I am glad my gift was appreciated. I consider you both friends. Carry on friends, please Do!
nice tractor setup you go there, mine is much smaller -1981 - MTD 995 with a front-mounted blower, BUT I had a stuck float on my carb that filled my engine full of gas this storm so I had to hand shovel all 265 ft of my driveway. Lucky here in Saint John we only got a foot, unlike my sister in St.John's who was trapped inside till her neighbour and 3 boys came over and rescued her and her small kids.
Bummer how things can go wrong sometimes but you got through it and that’s the main thing 👍
My face is getting wind burnt just watching this
nice music. got my toes tappin.
Kathy and Paul; Thanks for sharing footage of your historic storm. In my area, we would all be in shock. You just get to it and clean up. (PS: don't listen to the trolls.) ;-)
Thanks.it was a rough few days that’s for sure and your right about the trolls 👍
God love us. What a video friend.
