We just stomp around, sister-in-law and I walked the perimeter of the property over hill, dale, fallen trees. DW's hip bursa is bothering her so she didn't go. I did once have to don the shoes to get down to the barn one year when we had 18" of snow. I could have shoveled it all but too much work
I have, in the past, taken the garden tractor snow blower down between the barns but I have to make a cul-de-sac behind the barns to get back out. That isn't a whole lot of fun, lots of little back and forths. As soon as the front wheels hit any amount of snow the GT gets stuck so no arcs possible. The GT won't back up a hill for its life in the snow even with chains on the rear wheels and an extra 100 pounds on the rear.
