Anyone out plowin?

   / Anyone out plowin? #41  
I plowed a bunch of times already this winter. A few times 2-3" or so, one 8" this last weekend, and then plowing again around 3" this morning. This morning sucked coz it's pretty cold, 10 deg actually, but was in the negatives with the wind chill.

Windchills in the -40's, frostbite in under two minutes. Had some ground drifting, not enough to warrant starting the tractor to do a little clearing. Even with a cab, don't need to be out there, it can wait till it settles down a bit. I'll bet that a lot of the "don't need a cab" crowd haven't experienced these conditions.

We came close last year around here, had -20s a few times. Hadn't been that cold since 1980's. It's gonna be single digits all week here now, it's gonna suck. :(

Been there... done that. Worked in -60f wind chills back in the late 80s. In montana... never want to see that again. Here in n idaho its cold, but rarely below 0

And the rain and warm weather continues. At this rate - no snow plowing again this winter - same as last winter. That big expensive rear blade probably thinks its just a decoration on the back of the tractor.

Just the opposite here.
Colder than last couple years. Already had 2 major snow events here (we used to just call it snow). Getting another 7 inches of snow tonight. Should be record profits in bagged salt, batteries, snow shovels and mad bomber hats.
Supposed to drop to 10* later next week.
Maybe in the PNW you are getting all the warmth from the China factories? :D

Well, I got to do my 1st snowblowing in daylight, how about that. Was a little too snowy to get the drone out....but one of these days. Just the old GoPro Hero 3+ Black edition in the cab with me.

Winter finally arrived here:20210204_092857.jpg20210204_093008.jpg20210204_092933.jpg

We have less than 3 settled feet but it's the wind drifting that I has me plowing 3 times a day to get out.
