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

One step closer, but no snow (yet)
Looks like a dang pea-shooter on the back of the Challenger lol

At first I thought it was cooler! Just kidding, nice rig

As seen here today and forecast. New operator training.

Dang rain and warm air!

The snow has come, a bit at a time, but with it comes rain and warm air. The stuff won't clear the blower shoot, and the ground is so soft a blade rips everything up. There is water flowing over the ground where I usually have a 5 foot pile...

Cooler air is expected....

Plowed my place yesterday in the heat of the afternoon at -3*f. This morning we saw -25*f. I dream of one day tapping into the 26gpm loader hydraulic system for 3rd function/remotes up front, and an 84" hydraulic snow blower up front

I do my 2 miles of road and the rest of my plowing with a 9.5' V-plow which is on my single cab 3/4 ton Dodge right now.

Fuel gelling is caused when parafin molecules get cold enough to stick to each other.
This temperature is known as the "cloud point" because the fuel turns cloudy looking as the molecules start to stick together.
Anti gel treatment surrounds each molecule of parafin with a coating that keeps them from adhering to each other.
You must surround these molecules with anti-gel BEFORE they start to stick together.
If the cloud point is reached before treatment, and molecules are starting to form wax, you cannot unjell that fuel without warming the fuel to above the cloud point. Then, the anti-gel can surround each molecule.
The best procedure is to add your treatment before you fill your can, then add the relatively warm fuel from the underground tank. If the fuel has been exposed to cloud point temps, treat it, then bring the can into a warm place until the fuel gets above the cloud point. You could safely figure that 30* F would be the cloud point. Cloud point can be somewhat lower, like 18-20*F

Darned if I know how my post ended up here, but not a bad place to post it.....

Some fuel will cloud above 30F, 45F is a safer temp.

We got about 5" of wet heavy stuff at 30ish degrees, then it froze, and a few more inches of light fluffy stuff on top. -5F here now, the sun is out, nice white blanket of snow!

My diesel started yesterday at -37f. I dont use any additives. But our dealers here have winter blend diesel. I also use block heaters.
