Winter Coming

[cdaigle430]

Since last winter was a really bad winter for snowfall for most areas in the US, I wondered how many people have changed their setup for snow removal for this year (tire chains, FEL, snowblower, etc). I also wonder how many of us will be disappointed if we hardly get any snow and can't really use our new toys. Please post pictures of your new setup.

I have the same setup as before, but I bought a new McCormick CT65U with 4WD (didn't buy for better snow removal just updated my tractor). Before I had a MF135 that I had this blade on and it worked pretty well. I know I will be disappointed if we don't get at least a couple pretty good snows for me to play I mean work with it. I also have chains for the front not shown in the picture.

Snow,
What snow, it's been in the upper 90s here in Maine for several days

We can all relax!!!!
National Weather Bureau and the Farmer's Almanac both predict a mild "warmer then usual" winter for most of the U.S. this year!!!!! Whew!!!

Wonder if tirechains.com will give me my money back?

While I think it's fun to read the Farmer's Amanac the only thing it can accurately forcast is that the buyer will have a few less dollars than he did before he bought it.

Last year I had got to the breaking point with the snow and bought a rear mount farmking snow blower. If I don't have to use it at all this year I will be happy.

BRING IT!

Yeah, I know...I was being facetious.

Last year everyone was prediciting a cold and snowy winter for us. It was about average as far as cold goes but virtually no snow. So if they're predicting less snow this year I'm hoping that they're wrong and we'll have more snow than usual. As dry as it has been around here this summer I am hoping that the year's precipitation falls as snow this year. I'd like to make a little extra money plowing this year and most importantly I'd like to put some miles on my snowmobile. My brand new last year 2010 Ski Doo MX Z X-RS has about 400 miles on it from last year, pathetic.

I hope it cools down up there soon. I am headed up the third week in October for a week to do some hare hunting with the beagles. It has been 90 degrees here in PA also. Can't wait for some cooler weather and hunting season.

ditto ... ordered a rear mounted Frontier 64" last week. Feeling more confident but I'm not about to taunt Mother Nature with "BRING IT!"

Okay Cyril technically it falls here every year but It rarely sticks and when it does it's in such trace amounts that it's not possible to shovel it.

Now if only there was a way to plow the rain off the roads. :-D

Got to agree with you about the rain on the roads. Were you around for the Dec '08 snow? Man it was nuts. When I think winter, I think rain and mud...not snow.:laughing:
