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.

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?

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!

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
