So, lets talk weather....

[Jus Cruisin]

1.68 inches of rain over the last 24 hours. Impressive and the lakes need it. One more batch by 10ish. Then snow this afternoon and lows in the mid 20's tonight.

Mid 60’s yesterday with fast moving thunder storms, now 34 degrees with snow this morning.

we had 50 mph winds in Oklahoma yesterday, wild fires all over the state shut down interstate North of OKC and turnpike between OKC and Tulsa, brutal

Lots of wind….let Mother Nature get it out of her system now.

After the huge Volusia County fire in Florida about 30 years ago now (it canceled the Firecracker 400 in Daytona that year). Florida is doing a good job with controlled burns to keep underbrush under control. Every state should do that.

California needs to learn about that…

You guys near me can think me for our lack of snow this winter. Got an ATV with a plow...used it once when we got about 1" of snow...lol

Ha. We had a few years in a row with a lot of snow in mid 2000s. So i bought a Toro Snow blower. Used it twice. Then the squirrels rats whatever got in shed and destroyed it. Waste of $400. Its going in the next bulk trash pickup.

I bought an Ariens all steel, two stage 28” self propelled machine that I call “Brutus”. Best Boat Buck I have ever spent on a non boating item.

Over a foot of wet, heavy nasty stuff, hard plowing or blowing.

I'd bet it's hard to plow with all that snow on the windshield.

I don’t have any 4 wheel toys yet so I used my 8hp snowblower. A 1/2hr job took 1.5hrs with this wet heavy sloppy garbage. Then I had to hand shovel my 75’ deck. Nice day tho….

70° at the boat yesterday, got her washed up. Lots of wind.

My plow truck is at end of life, been going round and round on what to replace it with. If the future winters are going to bring more snow I'm going to need something different or an addition to a pickup. I run out of room to push the snow with the pickup. This wet snow screwed things up, I'm down to a blade width wide road now. If we get more I'll have to hire a big machine in to push the snowbanks back to make room.
