Snow Warning??

[Thomas]

Al,
I sure would rather plow 7"than 21" in which mother nature left,and those snow drifts what a pain.

I hear you on the snowblower /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I to run chains..got to have them or I'll be like a turtle on its back. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Enjoy your plow time and keep those bank push back.

Harv,
My daffodil's has about 8" of snow on them...had to pile the snow somewhere. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
Like the old New England saying..if you don't like the weather just wait a little it will change.

T-shirt weather..geeze don't I wish for some of that about now.

There is talk about a satellite which the goverment feels it could control the weather patterns...bad idea!!

This is what it looked like here in southern Maine this morning. The bottom of the maibox is 38" above the road and the backs on the lawn chairs are 39" high./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

35 degrees for plowing today kinda nice until the snow falls from the trees.

Green grass...lets see..about 3 1/2 months before I can walk on green grass, /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif and yes its the little things we take most of all for granted.

DFB,
21"snow and drifts ranges from 24" to 38" and the snow was dry.

Only got stuck once..whew..pushing back snow and got to close to the end of the bank, /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif good thing for the come along. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

One good thing about this storm,gives us FEL practice. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Hope your rear blade work will and you didn't get belly hung.

True so very true about the lack of snow around here...but all at once. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Another storm like that..lets hope not..I have to crawl thru my bedroom window to get outside. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Looks like you got a inch more than I did...and thats okay. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Now you wouldn't have stay home from work and play w/ your new Kubota if you had it/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif...YOU BET I WOULD HAVE!! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I bet your road really narrow by now,/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif and you better uncover that DEAD END road sign before someone makes a oops than give you those Bambi eye. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Better put another log on the fire sure getting a tad nippy w/ the wind.

Thomas, I wouldn't mind some more snow. Makes for fun tractoring. Besides, I know it'll be a couple of months 'til I can do some "field work". Glad we don't have an official mud season though.

Bird and Harv, the septic stroll isn't all that far fetched up here right now. A few south facing slopes are melting off, but this is the longest we've had snow on the ground in years. The little things become apparent:

1) The grass under the snow is packed down like a pancake. Looks awful, but experience tells us we'll be cutting it again come spring.

2) Fencing contractors will be raking it in in the spring. Lot's of parking lots have snow piles pushing out the fencing and knocking over posts.

3) Same with landscaping contractors. Some of the newer strip malls and such haven't ever experienced snow piles like these. Those nice looking trees without established root systems just get bowled right over by a big Cat loader full of snow.

4) Parking lots keep getting smaller and smaller.

5) Ice dams and water damage are very common this year. We've been lucky at home with none, but at work we've go icicles falling from an upper level flat roof to a lower level and punching holes right through the asphalt. Lots of leaks onto some very expensive equipment. Visqueen sales are hot /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

6) My wife and I have complained for years that the snow doesn't stick around long enough to enjoy it (X-country skiing etc.). Wouldn't you know it, this year one of us, or one of the kids has been sick nearly every weekend. I guess that's a downside to being couped up all winter long.

All in all, its a lot of fun and I wouldn't trade the four seasons for anything. Come on up and see what it's all about!

Rob, I'm with you./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Four seasons is the way to go. Never get tired of any one season. All this talk about daffodil's, rototilling and t-shirts/w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif. Only makes me think of what comes after those things. Lawn cutting./w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif I think I'll throw another log on the fire and enjoy the season./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
