Internet said they turned the heat up to 95 degrees to try and melt the snow. What it actually did was cause more snow to stick. Should have let the wind blow it off I guess.

I'm in Wisconsin now for training but don't have the ability to add pics here. I'd like to see some shots of the Metrodome. Don't think the guy that manages that facility is having a very good day..... :ashamed:


Even better than stillshots, here's an amazing video clip taken from inside the dome that shows it collapsing. Just before it caves in, look closely and you can see someone doing a 50yd sprint along the far sideline!!!!! :laughing: Maybe the vikes should sign him up??

After that video these pics will be boring!!! Here's some of the equipment the Army is using on Ft McCoy for snow removal.

One shows the boredom of an Engineer Company that has just returned from Iraq, waiting for their flight home.

Forgot to add these two pictures. A lot of loaders working the parking lots with these wide snow blades. They clean up a parking lot in no time.

I read in the paper it's like the forth time due to snow.

They will never learn.
Our Montreal stadium, built for Expo 67 has had so many roofs that I lost count.
All I know is that we are still paying for that showpiece that never can earn a living, never mind break even.
And again, we also need another new roof as the present one is deemed unsafe.
Powers to be claim that we'd get decent revenues if we would have a permanent new roof.

While profit or losses are based on existing quotations it is funny how every project ends up with 50-70% cost over runs, and we get billed mega $ for every quotation.*

Seems we could have BIGFOOT demos and all sorts of car shows etc.

* funny. when I did business, nobody ever paid me for quoting.

The tires are Goodyear Xtra-Trac Terras there a bar-turf tire. I didnt like them last summer when I got the tractor, but it turns out they are excellent for snow, my tires hardly slip. No need for chains.
