bx 1850 kubota
It has been snowing/storming for 3 days. State of Emerg has been declared. Military has been called in. 402 a major highway between London & Sarnia has been closed. Traffic in bound from Port Huron michigan is being diverted. 300 + vehicles have been stranded along the 402 for 2 days. The drifts are over 6 feet deep. The snow in front of the garage where the Kubota is over four feet deep and the 3 pt blower is outside beside a 5 foot drift. I predict there will be a little shoveling in my future. Police & plows have been pulled off the roads. EMS is on a delayed response. I'm surprised the pager hasn't gone off yet. Snow bound in Lambton shores, Lambton county

Is Kubota in garage or outside???

Kubota's inside the garage nice & dry w/ the front end plow and box scraper. Will have to swap the box scraper for the blower in the snow. Not looking forward to that job.

I used to drive 402 between Pt Huron and the 401 and then on to the QEW and to Buffalo just about every week in days gone by. In my favorite car at the time: a 1973 Corvette, cobalt blue.

It's the middle of December; why isn't the blower on the tractor :confused:

At least the plow is on the tractor already. Somebody's gonna get some serious seat time!

A quick hitch would make it easier.:thumbsup:

Don't let your car get run over...

In '55 or '56(before my time...), my Grandparents lived in Herlong, Ca. There is a an Army munitions depot there. Over the summer, my high school aged Uncled had tricked out a '40's Merc. Engine, interior, lake pipes, paint. They really lacked parking at home, so they parked on the street at the house in this little tiny town.

Well, they got record snow that winter. Folsom Lake, outside Sacramento, was almost finished, and was expected to take two years to slowly fill. Try less than a week... What is now Interstate-80 over Donner Summit, was then US-40. closed six weeks; nowdays it may close for a couple hours in terrible weather.

Well, Herlong got record type snow. And at an Army base, what sometimes comes out on the local roads(at least back then)?

Tanks...

Guess what ran right over the top of my Uncles tricked out car that they had saved for and spent all summer working on?

A tank...

Guess how flattened said car was...?
