After looking at the latest radar loop it looks like this thing is starting to rotate counter clockwise, you know what that means.

Maybe we'll get more than slush out of this thing after all, if we do it'll come late when it starts spinning real good.
 
God speed to you all. Nothing like breaking in my new truck and newer plow in a 12 inch snowfall!!


YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHAAAAWW

This storm has at least doubled in size since yesterday and as you say is beginning to spin counter clockwise. WARNING this is going to be a dandy noreaster. Expect 3 feet of snow and huge drifts. Hang on Harvey. :confused: Plan well and stock up the rig for a long run as stores will be shutting down early. Don't forget to have a plan for a re-fuel. Tow cable etc. My plan will be to keep the wheels turning and ride her out. Don't get bogged down as help may not be able to get to you in any hurry because the road plows will not keep up. I don't expect to keep up with it but to just keep access to lots etc. Let's all slow down and think before we put ourselves in a bad situation.

Good pushin.

Over 2 feet expected here with high winds. I will be going out soon to gas up the trucks then i will put the plows on. Iam going to use some extra ballast for this one. I expect to be plowing all night, all day tommrrow and i will finally take a break tommrrow night for the patriots/steelers game. Then i will probley go back out and do more. Finally get to sleep around 1 AM sunday night, i doubt i will have school monday the way they are talking now. So I will probley do more monday. I will be tired to say the lesast but iam looking foward to it. Ill be doing my best to keep up, ill be working as fast as possible.
 
10 foot snow drifts not good. I dont like the sounds of this at all and im debating if i should go out in the middle of it or just wait it out till its over.

It's raining here.

It's supposed to turn to sleet/freezing rain, up to an inch or that, then snow tonight 1" to 3" inches.

Needless to say; It's going to be interesting trying to scrape 2" of snow off of an inch of ice.

Then the temp is supposed to drop down to about 15 F., with wind gusts up to 55 mph.

I think I'll just put a sail and a rudder on my rig.
 
I am gonna have to plow probably ever hour just to keep my driveway open cause it's a pretty steep slope and I only have a 1/2 ton...EVERYONE PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT TAKE ANY RISKS WITH THIS ONE...It's better to be safe than sorry am I right?
