Hey Cam,
This reminds me of when I was around 13 or so, my buddies uncle built a chair for his neighbor that incorporated a lawnmower engine and a greatly shortened snowmobile track. The Rear wheels could be raised or lowered (with a lot of effort) for non-snowy surfaces, He couldn't make it steer very well at all and the owner kept turning up the governor to unsafe levels, but I'm sure with today's technology, a much better version could be crafted.
Snowing here today, but that's as it should be.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

That is pretty darn cool. When my dad and a friend of his get some drinks in them they frequently talk about rigging up a plow for the front of my wheelchair. I've seen a couple videos on YouTube of people plowing snow in their wheelchairs.
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Frozen pipes really, really suck... Oh dear. Did they burst or just freeze? -21F (-30C) is pretty freaking cold. We hit -7 here the night before last , and -4 last night. I am officially ready for spring.

Can you use like a heat gun on them to get them thawed enough to start running a trickle of water through them? I don't know, I've never had to deal with frozen pipes. Never had to deal with -21 either. Seriously, good luck. And call your insurance agent now if you don't already have flood insurance.
