After I believe about 2 weeks straight of rain, the sun is out today and is supposed to be through Tuesday! Then a 50% chance of rain again Wednesday  Damn hard to start grading when the mud is a few feet deep  ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

At least you don't have any dust. We are expanding the parking lot at our church and the contractor hasn't been able to do any serious grading in over 2 months. The red clay around here has 3 stages: slick as owl snot mud (wet), sticks to everything (moist), or hard as a brick (dry). Glad to see some sunshine for a change. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

I hear you Hubert. Driveway finally dried up today, supposed to start raining again tonight. Hopefully it'll make for a good hay crop this year ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

| We broke the February snowfall record set in 1912, 10 days ago and its been snowing ever since. between the record snow fall days we've set record cold days. I'm ready for rainy weather. all the excess snow should lead to spring flooding. we had our annual average snow accumulation back in January. |

Been pretty mild down here. A few "cold" spells (it's 24 degrees now), but not too bad. I wouldn't live up north.
It was 60 degrees on Monday...

I've got a $2.5 million dollar bank note accruing interest while I wait for it to dry up enough to get started grading. You're damn right it's whine whine whine ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Just finished plowing the yard and the church next door - been at it since 10 AM and just finished here at 4 . Drive at church I now have banks on both sides about 7 ft high and all around the lot the wind rowed snow is about 5 ft high . My yard and drive now has a 8ft high pile in front of house - back yard cleared so i can get to bird feeders now piled about 4 ft high ---- skid loader with 8 ft plow Keep thinking about the fact I now HATE SNOW PLOWING AND SNOW , winter is also on the hate list ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

| Our weatherman keeps saying we're low on snow fall, that might be be we have had enough rain to make up the difference here. |

Sunshine and 34 here in NW Il today. The pile of snow by the shop door has been rained on and melted down so water can now get in on the floor. I have to go around back thru the machine shed to get in, because of ice build up under the walk in door. The best part of today is there's not a 40 MPH wind blowin around. Rather pleasant out there so I better go out and do something. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Coke, we have streets that are wide enough to get three cars side by side in the summer months. You can barely get ONE (1) car through now. There is nowhere else to put the stuff and it's TOO COLD to melt!! It's heading for the deep freeze for the next week, but you already know that too, being on the same level as me in 'da nort'. When's summer start? July 4th? ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

| It will probably skirt right over spring and go straight to 90 degrees. |
