 Topic: Guaranteed to snow now!
Posted: 01 Mar 2012 at 4:44pm |
Decided to clean the shop and putz around a little. WC started on the 3rd pull which shocked the snot out of me (started on the first pull when I put her away). Figured it's March and supposed to be in the 60's here next week. I took the chains off the WD and spun the tires back in. Did leave the blade extensions on, so it won't be a real bad snow, but I figure removing the chains is a guarantee for a good snow. AaronSEIA

I was gonna take my blower off this weekend. That should do it. I never even put the PTO shaft on this year so far.

My kids have had one delay all year and that's it. Today it's snowing and they get off early so that's #2. Still haven't had a full day off school yet.

Well, in the span of an hour we went from a winter weather advisory with 5" expected to no advisory, no snow, and sun. Guess I'm safe for now.

I had heard that we were supposed to get a bunch of snow on Tuesday, so I put the snow blower on Monday night. Thus the snowstorm passed us by, went south of us. I know that if I wouldn't have put the blower on, we would have gotten 2 feet! I was actually looking forward to maybe blowing a little snow, but I'm not too bummed out about not getting to. darrel

I figured winter was coming, so back in January I put my heat houser on the 45(hadn't used it in years). I have only fired the tractor up once this year to clean up a wet snow that only stayed on the ground about 3 days. Maybe next year I'll put the heat houser and tire chains on and it won't snow at all.
