Who is excited for snow season? Not us! We're depressed due to lack of snow.

[MossRoad]

I admire you guys.

For me, it’s morning tennis and then a drink at the pool.

Just a dream! Wishing to be in the warmer weather.

I guess spring will come soon enough though.

I grew up in so cal

i don’t miss the warm weather at all.

not so much the weather, but what the warm weather brings along with it.

I had some spring and fall fishing trips about 100 miles west of you near Osage Beach. I cant imagine going an entire winter without the river freezing over.

Lake Ozarks is nice. We had a home there while my kids were growing up. They loved jet skies and fishing.

When they got older they had other things to do. So, we sold the house and purchased a place in Florida for the winter.

Now, the kids once again want to come visit! They are avid golfers.

By the way, alligators do not like frozen rivers!

Some crappy fall weather! Hardly any snow.

A progressive care retirement center in the Villages?

Was 61 yesterday and an inch of rain. Not very wintery so far

More South but off I75.

I want to do the same, especially when the ice starts up here.

We got about 8" of snow yesterday but the temps were right around freezing so I got the tractor out and started dealing with it before it turned to slop. Spent half a day blowing and plowing heavy snow. The temps never got high enough to cause any serious melting but that may happen over the next few days. Depends on if the weatherman is right or not. 50/50 chance I guess.

 

[ruffdog]

At least through 2023 I won't have to worry about diesel fuel gelling up! Last year I hardly had to plow and so far this winter is pretty lame. Only time will tell.

On another note, I sold my Duo239 H-pattern chains and have some Aqualine MPC's arriving Thursday. The Duo's just didn't do it for me, and the square in the center of the "H" clumped up to a huge snowball in snowman weather a few times making the ride VERy unpleasent.

I think you'll like those much better. I looked at them for my little Kioti but ended up going with a bit more aggressive chain,

 

[TractorTYMe]

I just have severe lack of rear fender clearance for studded chains.

 

[fishhead]

OP,
the guys at Bluejay told me that running chains loose really helps with dropping the snow in the pattern
I have OFA easy on 5's and their recommendations were to run loose enough to at least stick a fist under- seems to work great
They are quite similar to the chains you are getting so i think you will be happy.
How did you blower work on the slop we just got?
I think mine would have been ok but just barely- I tend to blade it till thongs freeze up

Did you get the Aquilines locally?

I haven't even needed to use the tractor on the last slop, it has melted while snowing. So I have at most 2'' compacted and I'll let the people drive over it to compact it. Snowblower doesn't get lowered until I have a solid snow/ice surface. I got the chains from tirechainsrequired.com, one set of Aqualine MPC's in 43x16x20 for $514.00 shipped was pretty darn good price. Talons for $924.
