Doin' season's over

Doin\' season\'s over

Well, with five inches of snow on the ground, and the outside temp in the teens, it looks like the time for playing in the forest is over (at least with Clementine) and the never-ending task of moving snow is at hand. Time to park the winch and stick that rear blade on the end. Probably won't see dirt again till next May! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

What's it like in your corner of the world?

Gorgeous blue skies today and temps in the 50s. Took our oldest to an open house at a college she'd like to attend. Mom and daughter went to the campus living session. Dad went to the financial session /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif. I'm sure it's a great deal as colleges go (Univ of MD), but $15K/year in state or, in our case $23K/year out of state. Ouch.

Re: Doin\' season\'s over

It's been cloudy, a little foggy in the mornings, and got just about an inch of rain yesterday and today combined (nine-tenths of it today); sun's come back out now and 65 this afternoon; just great! Forecast highs of 80 at the coast where I plan to be the next 3 days, and when I get back, I've got to mow the yard./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Re: Doin\' season\'s over

Doin season has just started here on the other side of the globe.

Temps are 34 ish (celcius) not much rain but grass is starting to get along real quick. Haven't slashed since March, and have only mowed once since, but it will be all happening soon !!

Cheers

PS - Just found a converter, That is 94 degrees in your language - Yuk !!!

Re: Doin\' season\'s over

We are averaging about 5 - 10 degrees above normal for this time of year. We normally have highs of 0 Celsius, and our high today was supposed to be about 12 C. Pretty nice.

However....we had snow about a month ago /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif...and since this Alberta the weather could change in an hour or so !!!

Re: Doin\' season\'s over

Mid 50's, good south breeze, afternoon rain. TV sez this will keep up for this week, but next week the highs in the 20's and our first chance for snow. Snow blower is ready, 955 in the heated garage. But on the other hand, we are one day closer to spring!!

Re: Doin\' season\'s over

Not too cold, but we finally got some rain this weekend. I was up at the property (Sierra foothills) and managed to do a little tractorin' during a lull. The ground was softened by the rain, so I used the opportunity to scrape another couple of inches off my "muddy tractor path", as I've described in other posts.

Although it worked, I decided I don't really like boxblading in wet, sticky soil. Curls up real nice, like ice cream does with a scoop, but then it doesn't want to drop out when it's time to dump the load. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

It was cool here yesterday morning. Low 20's./w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

Weather outlook through Thanksgiving is 50 to 60's, mostly sunny. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I wouldn't put winch away yet. Some of this good weather for this time of year is headed your way./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Re: Doin\' season\'s over

Pretty much the same weather as Harv (BTW Harv, if you get T&T, it makes it easy to "shake" the noxblade with the top link to get that sticky stuff off).

We got almost 3" (of rain) yesterday in a near-deluge. When I came home last night, it was apparent that I need to get out real soon now and do some repair on the gravel drive.

Temps have been in the mid-upper 60's during the day, and lows around 40 (all F).

Thanks, GlueGuy. My life is full of if's these days. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

The way I managed to dump my load (if you'll pardon the expression) was to jerk the box up and down with the 3pt hydraulics. This really jarred the tractor, and I can't help but think it was pretty hard on the linkages. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Re: Doin\' season\'s over

Harv, I had the same problem with sticky soil in my box blade last weekend. Instead of jerking the tph, I used the clutch (yes I have one of those) to give the whole tractor a bit of a lurch. Hoping for drier soil this weekend /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

By golly, so do I. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Guess there's a few of us out there, eh? /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I'll have to give that a try next time I'm scooping the clingy stuff.
