Let it snow!

[bearskinner]

Well winter has struck here... nothing in the forecast for the white stuff, then bam it hits out of the blue!
Snow blowers and plows at the ready Boys and Girls it's a coming to a neighborhood near you soon!

I'm starting to get ready. Got the FEL off and the snow blade installed. I didn't know the hydraulics would turn the blade right and left. I thought it was just a one way blade, like the old Caterpillar I learned to drive on. If I end up with a huge berm, Ill have to use the 30" walk behind blower. I do have chains if it starts to get icy, but so far there is still no snow on the ground......

Just like winnipeg. 3 snowflakes and everybody forgets how to drive. Supposed to get a couple inches, nothing yet. This time last year i was already sick of winter. So far not bad.

I think the three flake rule applys to any city or major town couple weeks ago one of the interstates was shut down for four hours do to a nine car pile up over a dusting. Guy in the front of the pack slammed on his brakes at the end of an icy bridge and caused cars to stack up like an accordion.

Nice and balmy 70°f here today. Keeps this up, i'll be mowing till christmas.

I do not live in a city or major town but we have allot more than three flakes around here.

I think your right, except in Phoenix, it's three drops. Rain hits here & 90% of the population becomes lobotomized.

Well with the rain yesterday, and the warmer weather, all the white stuff is now gone..............

It really is an odd winter, so far very little snow, and warm!

 

[Daren Todd]

I'll second that. Was blowing the leaves off the walk ways, and the flower beds, and noticed that stuffs starting to sprout

Relaxing enjoying the fruits of our labor.
10f out side and going below zero tonight. 72 inside and the stove is just puttering along heating the whole house.
Yeeeaaaaaa! Let it Snow.

And the forecasts said this could be colder than last winter.

Of course, some forecasts said the polar bears would all drown but that hasn't happened just like all the "killer hurricane" seasons that haven't happened.

I think its God's way of showing us who is in charge.

Picked up a 3/4" thick piece of 4' wide by 5' long conveyor belt and cut off a one foot wide strip to bolt to the bottom of the little back blade for the BX25D.
Should be good for a few snow storms. And the price was right.

Dayum!

I like that ..............

LOBOTOMIZED.............

if I tell one of my kids that, they would like at me and think I was crazier than normal!

(I wish we would get those 3 dang-on flakes too)

Definitely a weird winter just had to mow the yard!! . . .

Just came in from fixing some yard lights. My grass is 3+" tall. I figure that it can wait until spring though. Besides, the mowing decks are put away for the winter.

Been above freezing,snow melting and rained all day. Stuff getting slippery,and its cooling off. Maybe snow in a couple days.would prefer it to be colder. Highways salting the roads heavy. Hard on vehicles

Got home Friday after working out of town all week, 5" of wet, heavy snow still on the ground. It took down one small pine in my neighbors yard, I had to buck it up as most of it was on my property, then clean up the broken top off a cedar on my front deck. Hopefully I'll finish getting my tiny tractor serviced and see how it moves snow and gets around.
