Got 6” fairly quick now all rain turning to slush. My 982 with the 450 blower is waiting for exhaust and intake manifold gaskets, so I cleared the drive with the 149 loader. Took the deck of the 682 and installed the qa42b I got an an auction over the summer for $12. By the time I got it hooked up and running the snow was too heavy and wet for it to work. Swept leaves and tilled them in the garden and mowed grass two weekends ago and now this

Only a wet dusting here with temps at 33°. Suppose to climb to 38° tomorrow. Not going to last.

8" here and still snowing, I am not ready yet either Rick.

We have ton's of Yankees here that tell us how us Southerners can't drive in the white stuff. How they never are late for work or schools are never closed unless its way over a foot. But the national news tonight had plenty of footage to prove otherwise. Fake news?:bigthink:

My wife and I both have four wheel drive vehicles and make it home just fine. Amazing what a little patience and good tires can do. |

Three inches of snow in central Jersey. It'll be gone by Sunday. |

My experience in the south (Southern Mississippi) in January/February was widespread panic over freezing temperatures with any chance of precipitation. It's more of a "crap, well it's that time of year again" up here. Then again summer down there was absolutely miserable. |

Had a Canadian and a guy from Connecticut with us for a while. We figured 10 inches of snow they would know to stay home---WRONG. Had to explain to them. Got a guy from Minnesota, real deal--didn't hardly wear a jacket all winter. Gave him advanced warning of our winter holidays. But he gave me the weirdest look when I was talking about eating Okra, even had to spell it for him. It was on his bucket list to ride out a hurricane, guess he got that one checked off twice this year! |

Hey Rick you are just over the hill from me (near Gapland) I broke out the Husqvarna 30" 11hp snow blower and eat through it... had to finish up with the Kubota.. Real heavy wet snow....I don't think they predicted the snowfall anywhere near of what we got on the ground.... I need a job that I can be wrong 80 percent of the time and keep it...

Well yesterday was entertaining to say the least. Got a nasty ice storm. Power went out, generator came on so I'm thinking all is good. A little while later it sounds like it's lugging down and it shuts off and says underspeed. So I figure it's trying to handle too much load. Heat pump is a solid ice cube so I shut it off thinking it was pulling too much load along with some other stuff and fire it back up. All good for a while then it does it again. This thing is a 20 KW generator so something is not right. Shut off just about everything and light it up again. All good till about 4:00 pm when it shuts off again this time it says overspeed. Time to call the guy that installed it and services it. He shows up in 20 minutes. Replaces the stepper motor that controls the speed and we are back up and running. Talk about awesome service.
Today I get to get the BX out and drag branches to the dead tree pile. Ice made a mess of my pine trees. I hate winter. :beerchug: |
:ROTF2: I don't miss that stuff!
Snow shuts this town down quick. Rick, did you check your intake manifold for any splits on the 982? |

80% is very generous, weather forecasters have it made in the shade.
