Hi, Don't worry about the size of your snow clumps, as an ex-Tankie I have even seen worse, particularly when the clumping is so great and freezes overnight making the tank an immobile icy lump, because moving would risk either throwing or breaking a track. The fun you have chipping the snow out with crowbars and other tools, makes a gym workout seem like a beach holiday. You have to remember that any bare skin touching metal, sticks you to it like with super glue.

For you your restart of our hobby a very nice and credible introduction. Hope to see more soon. Aye' John
