hi guys,
just been reading about the latest cold and white spell you are having across the big pond:eek:

looks to be a tad chilly etc, i expect you will manage better than we do over here, 2mm of snow here and the country shuts down:(:mad: and cold,don't even go there.....

i do admire you peeps , you take it all as just another day at the office, good on you.

i dont mind crap weather to be honest, i work out in it all the time so its a way of life, i just find it amazing how our whole small island grind to a very rapid standstill whenever the weather turns a bit more unseasonal, too much H&S going on now and not enough common sense.:mad:

any rant over and keep up the good work guys.

20 but feels like 3, 22mph winds with 40mph gust. Along with a few inches of snow and it's still coming down.

Cleaned up the driveway with the Kubota and shoveled the walks.

No cab on mine and that wind is tough.

Experiencing a little stretch of 'cold' - currently -23°F dropping to -34°F tonight but going to have a 'heatwave'(finally above 0°F) on Thursday afternoon. So far this winter has been quite a bit colder than normal - come on SPRING!!!

Rob,

Across the pond and then across the dirt, we're at 40 degrees Fahrenheit here in this section of the West Coast right now.

Not all the Weather happens on our East Coast contrary to our Weather Channel.

We have had severe Winters here as well and I do feel for the East Coast suffering and especially for the tractor drivers who have to be out in it. Any kind of seat time on a tractor is good time though.

Over there in England, I'm related to Admiral Rooke if you know who he was.

It's about 16 degrees here and falling. High is supposed to be about 3-5 degrees and wind chills well below zero. Got about 15 inches of snow since last night and now another 4-8 inches of more snow thanks to lake effect. :D

Plenty to keep the kubota busy the next couple days. ;)

To anybody that said they wanted snow so they could play on their tractor...
You suck.
Anybody with a nice heated cab?
You also suck.
It's -18 degrees with a -45 windchill and some of the drifts are hip deep. The truck won't start but the roads are closed anyway. I'm going back out to put a charger on the truck and plug in the block heater on the 'bota. I need to check on animals.
My next tractor will have a cab so I can suck too.

In my part of Scandinavia we have one of the warmest winter for many years. This year no snow, and temp was +7 centigrades yesterday. Now when the days are geting longer I see trees are getting green....Last year was 0,8 m snow and -15 for weeks. I am not so sure what I prefer.
