What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

[CurSedVoyce]

Sunny and should be nice today. About 59 they say.. They have fog still down in the valley. So the no burn days are adding up to a schedule issue for me.

 

[rskybiz]

Good soaker here!

 

[squisher]

Warmed right up here and has been melting like crazy for the last two days, now it's supposed to drop right down to freezing again tonight.

 

[Wagnaw]

It was a balmy 40 something today. Now it's snowing its arse off at my house.

 

[tophopper]

My daughter recently said to me.....

"Suck it up, don't be a pussy"

 

[squisher]

My daughter's six and I hope not to hear that for awhile. Although the other day while play fighting I made 'slapping' like hands at her and she did say, "Heh dad, no pussy fighting". Aren't older cousins wonderful things?

Memories .My daughter even as a little 2 foot tall cutie had as foul of mouth as a drunken sailor .I suspect she heard it from her mother .:roll:

We got the ice last night but not enough to down trees and topple power lines. All the schools were canceled . Evidently I-75 was glare ice from Mich. to Dayton .

Now as I look out the window at fine powdered snow dropping I can only imagine what a joy that will be to drive on .

Its nice and warm,mid 70s all week.Thinking of going to the beach.

 

[tophopper]

My daughter's six and I hope not to hear that for awhile.

I hear that.... at six, you would cringe. But teenagers are much different. When adults aren't nearby they cuss like sailors.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'd say "But I like kitty cat fighting," and wait for her reaction. If it was my son, I'd say something else.

Not me,if i cussed i knew,if it was around my mom,i got busted in the lip and soap in mouth treatment,my grandma hit my with a flyswatter and washed my mouth out,dad would just tell mom and grandma.

It's 20 and we have the PERFECT 1/16" of ice on everything! The roads and sidewalks look dry as a bone, but I can't walk up my driveway because it's so slick! Cars can't turn, stop or go, it's a perfectly smooth sheet right now!
Supposed to get snow on top of it to make it even more fun! I don't think I'm going anywhere tomorrow, and I hope it doesn't get worse, the battery in the generator is dead!

 

[squisher]

About the same as here a inch or so coming overnight tonight. Enough for me to plow and sand.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Wow, it's been ages since I've seen ice covered roads. I'd be staying IN!

 

[Tree Reb]

I've never seen an ice covered road, maybe when I win the lottery I'll have a quick look.

Mid 80's, cool breeze.

 

[sawinredneck]

They had something like 265 wrecks in rush hour last night! Schools are closed and mama stayed home. I'm going to help lay some hardwood flooring for a while. I just run the saw, the others do the crawling. But it's here in town, not more than a mile from the house, so it wont be bad until I try to get in the driveway when I get home!

 

[squisher]

That's the other 'fun' part of plowing. Ripping around in a truck that damn near goes anywhere it's so heavy and the tires are so good(I run studded). And if you have any problems, plow yourself a path or start spitting out some sand and you're good to go damn near anywhere. In 4 years I've never chained up.

Plowed 'er up this morning, snow came late and I rushed around most of the morning, only triggered my commercial sites.

Supposed to have more snow today and tonight.

 

[MasterBlaster]

How do you spit out sand? Broadcast it with a shovel?

 

[squisher]

Lol, hell no!

The big device in the bed of the truck there is a spreader. Kicks sand out the back, down a chute fed by a conveyor and broadcasted with a spinner that has all sorts of deflectors so you can spread it just how you want it.

That's where the weight comes in. The sticker on that spreader says a wet yard of sand can be as heavy as 3240pds. Heaping I can put 2yds in the spreader and it weighs about 750pds itself. You do the math.

 

[MasterBlaster]

We don't know much about that stuff down south, or at least I don't! How do you get the sand in the truck? A bobcat?

 

[bill22]

I only see sand at the beach.

 

[squisher]

I've got a tractor with a FEL.

 

[brendonv]

Hey, what'd ya know, more snow tonight! 3-6"
