North East Cabin Fever 2014

I think I have this - I was power-drifting my snowblower this morning while cleaning my driveway for the umpteenth time. I was also wondering what the best slicks for a snow blower would be...

I drift at work in the truck. I might have drifted if I had found an empty parking lot.

Oddly - I was drifting my John Deere tractor Thursday in the driveway plowing 17 inches of snow. Getting rear chains to break traction isn't that hard on elevation. With a plow blade on the front - the balance is entertaining.

For snow blower? Which model do you have? Home Depot sells r-compound tires for snow blowers. I would go for BFG R-1. But, they will add too much grip in icy conditions, will be much harder to power drift.
