Hi TBN'er

I gotta rant a bit. My area got about 6 inches of snow. I was ready with my shovel and heavy duty walk behind snow blower. The side walks and patios I can't do with the tractor.

Well, I guess I forgot............Kansas snow is wet. It sticks to the shovel and clogs up the snow blower. :(

Maybe somebody needs to invent a "Snow Pump". for Kansas: 19 deg F now , but will be 40--to 50 deg F in a few days-laughing::laughing:

Cheers,
Mike

Being born 10 minutes from the Canadian border and now in living in NC, do what NC does, if it hits 40-50 deg F in a few days, let the weather melt it.

That said, if it snows in NC and it stays below 32 for a couple of days, all heck breaks loose LOL

Mike- Do not forget the anti-inflammatory meds and analgesic topical lotions. ;)

Powder snow around here is a rarity; as are fabric shelters and hoop greenhouses.

Good luck.

I kinda liked it. Gave me a chance to get the tractor out. Plowed mine and the neighbors 1000' driveways and had a blast. The bad part is I had to work out in it all day today installing fiber. Oh well, not much wind so it wasn't bad.

Managing snow starts getting old come late March/early April.

I have not yet started dreaming about shoveling it.:rolleyes:

Yeah, sitting in the Kubota seat went a lot better with the back blade/FEL on the neighbors concrete driveway. ... and with no wind it was a piece of cake. On my wet gravel driveway it too sucks. In fact, it takes longer to disrobe myself and put the gear/tractor away.:)

We got two inches a couple days ago. Not even enough to worry about. Wet snow sucks no matter where it is. I just pack it down on the driveway with the Taco Wagon. Sooner or later we may get a REAL snowfall.
