| Preparing to do battle with old man winter. First line of defense: an insulated pair of Carhartt bibs. One doesn't generate much heat sitting on a tractor. |
 |
| Next, a heavy fleece sweater. |
 |
| Then an insulated Carhartt jacket, a woolen toque and two pairs of woolen mittens inside leather choppers. Two pairs of woolen socks and felt-lined Sorel boots on the feet. You really can't overdress when the temperature hovers around zero. |
 |
| There was no point in using my plow truck. I was running out of space to push the snow. A friend once joked that a Yooper's vision of heaven was having a big new plow truck and an empty lot where he can push his snow. |
 |
| Up here we have to move a lot of snow. |
 |
| Advancing dunes threaten to overwhelm the oasis. |
 |
| They must be attacked! |
 |
| Again and again. |
 |
| The Sahara can get a bit chilly this time of year. |
 |
| Downright cold. |
