Six or seven years ago, I got jazzed to head to our water-access property when a blizzard was forecast. It snowed 26 inches that night. I boated the 5 miles there in white-out conditions and was able to immediately use my snowmobile. Power was out for days, which just enhanced my experience. Unfortunately a cold front followed (this was early November) so the lake froze in single digit temps. I was smart and parked my boat facing out, and was able to break ice. My neighbor's boat was frozen in and his outboard froze as well. I used my ice chopper to free his boat and tow him to the main land. The next night was going to be even colder, so I left at dusk.
My truck was able to move through the unplowed boat landing, boat I learned that backing up an empty trailer through 26" of snow doesn't work. Luckily a guy at the bar saw me and brought his plow over. That got me down the landing. I had to jump on my trailer to get it to break through the ice. My truck struggled but eventually pulled the boat up the icy/snowy ramp.
Fun trip but I learned the perils of trailering boats in the snow. Somehow my snowmobile trailer seems to be better suited for it!
