We got slamed with freezing rain night before last and rain all day yesterday, lots of fun. Ran two plus tanks of gas through the truck, and 20 yards of sand through the speader. Even I am getting tierd of winter now! ::)
-
ChaChing$$. Curious how extra this adds to your yearly income? If you don't mind me asking, of course.
Good luck.
-
hehehehe, I would HATE living there. I don't like it when it gets below 65degrees.
-
I've had it with the cold too. Yesterday was nice and warm but raining cats and dogs. Now it's back to cold :(
-
here in north Carolina it is in the 40's and 50's
-
yea im from mass and we got hit by that rainstorm too. its was pretty crazy but at least it was in the 50's lol. now its back in the 20's. cant wait for it to warm up
-
Try living in ohio...The other day i swore it was spring...Now im thinking it really is the dead middle of winter...One day rain..Next day sun...Snow..Snow..Ice...Sun...And Sun snow ice rain in one day!
-
I am in the LP gas business and I am ready for Spring...no need to be greedy...they are forecasting freezing rain for us Thursday.
-
Haven't even figured this years total yet. Last few years have been easy winters. Grossed around $10,000 last year about $13,00 the year before.
-
Sand huh? Got some smart ones there....Cant wait for them to do away with salt all together and use the beet juice..The high ways around here already switched...It would be nice to buy a car and not have to garage it in the winter due to the salt :-\
-
Beet juice? ??? Really? Never heard of it used that way. :-\
-
I heard that beet juice produces sodium cloride (salt) too. Oh well, i know the stuff is full of sugars, maybe our fire-ants will move up your way. lol.
Hang in there Blazin', just 2 more months. Ought to be nicer by this time in April, right?
-
Wifey and I are in Ohio now and it's in the teens here at night! Low teens! I didn't bring any gloves.
Redneckchevy, we've been at the Barberton hospital. That must be kinda close huh?
-
yea bout a mile from me...Its warm today!! lmao :D
-
Redneck ya sure hit the nail on the head with this lovely Oh. weather t-shirt one day parka the next proably worst up there ya got the whole lake effect going on there.
-
Your not kidding....that lake effect stuff is the worst...And im on the snow belt so its extra crazy....My family is in Alabama and they no when they come to visit bring winter clothes and summer clothes
-
Well spent 6 hrs Sun in the loader moving snow. All day Mon. in the truck sanding. about 6 hrs. Tues. in the loader, 2 hrs. in the truck sanding. 11 plus hrs. yesterday in the loader. Will be another 4 or so hrs. today in the loader, then some more truck time sanding. Oh yeah and the loaders heat doesn't work!
-
Temps this morning 9 degrees F.
We are expecting SNOW and ICE tonight through tomarrow evening.
Lookout Blazin :o - it's comming your way. Seems like the storms form in the south, go off the coast around North Carolina. Then BLOWUP into Noreasters and blast us before heading into New England as monster snow and ice storms.
-
It was one degree this morning at 5:00 AM when I got up. looks like this one is going to be south of me for the most part. Possible 1 to 2 inches here.
Last year our capitol city got less than 10" of snow, this year so far they have had 103"! Snowiest winter before March 1st since they have been keeping records.
-
1 degree. I wouldn't leave the house!
-
I did, It was 10 by the time I left though. Went out and did my last three driveways in the loader with no heat! Was not fun.
-
The good thing about temps that low is that it makes temperatures in the 30's and 40's feel like spring and summer....:D :D :D
Would you agree Blazin?
-
this year so far they have had 103"! Snowiest winter before March 1st since they have been keeping records
Gotta love that global warming, huh?
We are expecting ice/snow tonight 100 miles south of Washington in Richmond, then all rain tomorrow.
-
agreed!
-
Well sat down and figured out total so far this year. A little over $16,000. Still have a bit over $5,000 out, and winters not over yet!
-
Sheesh! That ain't bad!
-
Stupid Snow!!!!! I just spent the last 2 hours clearing snow and guess what?! It's snowing again! >:(
-
i made about $5000 this winter and all i do is local driveways it pays off to have a plow truck, need to get a bigger truck for it though i have a 90 chevy 2500 ld 6 lug, i want a 8 lug 3500 single wheel or a 3500 dual wheel
-
It is 70 here today and tomorrow. Finally some decent weather ;D
-
I was just wondering for you guys that live up north. Why don't you put in seat heaters? Based on my experience they work great and heat up faster than the engine. $90 gets the driver a back and rump roaster. Heated Seat Kits (http://www.heatedseatkits.com/heatedseatkits/index.html)
-
That is why I left my hometown of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and ended up in the Austin, Texas area! It gets hot here in the summer but no snow. Maybe a few flurries once in a while. And we MIGHT get a freeze during our "winter". I agree with Vile though....if it drops under 65, I'm irritated. I know--I'm a wimp. :-[
-
We are having one heckuva snow storm here in Northeast Arkansas this afternoon...our first of the season...this weather is good for business though...people that don't even need gas ordered it today.
-
It looks like I might get some of that white stuff tonight. Looks like Chris might get a dusting.
This afternoon you wont be able to find bread or milk in the store's around here.
-
When the truck ran this morning we were completely out and I just looked in the store and it looks like we are getting low again.
-
A buddy of mine went to Lowes today to pick up a generator for his work, they told him they sold out before noon today.
Im glad I got mine on sale last year.
-
Gee you guys get it tough. We have a frost and 90% of people lose the ability to drive properly!
-
Well when we got home the girls had to go out in the yard and play...what is bad is this is the first time my 3 year old has gotten to play in snow.

-
I had to wear my coat til about noon, then was burning up and took it off.... I think I may have gotten a sunburn LOLOLOL Sorry guys , I had to rub it in, but would like to see some of the snow you get in person. The most I have ever seen here is about 6 inches. Good thing though, the people here are like Bitzers part of the world, if it sprinkles people start hitting the gaurdrails on the overpasses. The reason I don't take my 50 Dodge out in the rain is not because it will damage it,.people are just to stupid and I don't want to get run over. Stay warm and be safe guys.
-
Well I was shoveling roofs today in a t shirt 53 degrees. Did the last one tonight in the rain got off the roof at 7:45 PM!
-
Well im ready...A foot of snow and i got the old generator out 10 gallons of fuel on stand by 100tea candles 3 maglites 6 D cells on charge...4 cases of bottled water carton of smokes 2 space heaters.....Family thinks I'm nuts...But i will not get caught up in that same crap we had a cpl years ago no power for 3 days cause of the power plant overload lol
-
Rain, rain, and more rain...
-
Yep it rain all last night, then sun was out this morning for a couple hours then back to down pouring rain all day and so far tonight!
-
I got up around 6am, looked like we got 1/2" if that ! Looked out at 9am and it was all gone. ;D ;D
-

-
