Dave: What I should have said was continuous hard frost all winter. I'm thinking of conditions here in Canada where you can get 4 to 5 feet of frost in ground, and your driveway, lawn, etc. stays hard as ashpalt all winter.

Even here in SW Ontario these guys wait for frost to plow on. You try that in the Maritimes and you will not get plow in ground. I've seen conditions where Cat D-7 or D-8 wouldn't break the frost, even with a ripper. I saw a D-7 slide sideways close to 500' on a hayfield. Frost was so hard tracks just wouldn't penetrate. When it started going it was just like skates. I doubt if Phil sees too much of that kind of frost in Maryland. I just don't believe you have to go after a mouse with a cannon.
