One Last Snow Pushing Video - B-80 - Timelapse

[chesbaycruiser 83]

Oops, I did it again!

We got about 6-8 more inches of snow last night so I felt obliged to play around with the video camera once more.  (Hey, we don't get much snow...I can't help myself!)  In what has become the norm, I cleared all five driveways in our cul-de-sac and then most of the street as well, since once the snow is out of the driveways, I have to find a place to put it!  I admit that finding a good place to put the snow while not blocking someone's car, driveway, mailbox or storm drain was challenging, especially since a significant amount of the piles of snow I pushed a week ago are still there! 

In today's installment—which is the last one this year...I promise—I have the camera mounted on the B-80's hood and I shot the video in time-lapse mode, 1 frame every 1/2 second which roughly equates to 4 minutes of video for an hour of video.

BTW, if you don't like Sinatra, you'll probably hate this!

Chris, not fair. Your having way to much fun. Also nice tune from another jersey guy. Lol

Job well done and thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it.

I know Frank was into trains, bet if he saw this video he would be getting a wheel horse to.

Can you say...

Dramamine?

Thanks for the warning Craig!

I've been helping a guy clear snow the last two winters. He does all the truck plow work, I help with shoveling.

Chris, you are having way too much fun, and doing a really nice job at the same time. Well done!

Hey I like that!

 

I have a couple hours of gopro style video and I really like the sped-up style (or at least part of it)! Hopefully I will get to posting that soon. I figure noone wants to watch 2 hours of pushing snow, but your way is a good idea.

You know, I wondered after the fact if I should add a warning that if you have issues with the motion, especially in "first person" shooter games, flight simulators, etc, you might want to proceed with caution!

 

[AMC RULES 37,130]

Yeah, about half way through... 

I felt the ol' whoopsmybelly kicking in, and had to go.

Neat idea though...just not so much all at once.

Well I think it sucks that you didn't get all of "Summer Wind" on the video. That was the best song.

In previous years I had wide tires on my C-175 with rubber chains. Those of you that have rubber chains know how

big they are and how well they work. This year I didn't use them. I used Ag tires this year. No chains. No extra weight.

No fluid in the tires. I've had no problem. No slippage of rear tires. The most I have done though is 8 inches. You know

how the plows come through and plow in your driveway? Well, I had no problems clearing that out. The only problem I've

had was the steering. I need to get tri-rib tires.

Awesome video and awesome sound track! Watching that was fun!

[Jrblanke 857]

Great video! I watched the whole thing! I got about 6 inches down here in Raleigh.

Yeah, that's a good song...it some weird way it seemed a good fit for a snowplowing video!

I just revisited this post to find that somehow, the link to the original post has gone haywire and points to a totally unrelated video.  So, if you've come late to this, here is the link to the actual video.  FYI, at some point, YouTube "asked" that I replace the audio track, so if you hate Sinatra you'll be happy, and if you love him...sorry!
