Sun is in & out here, too.

Tree branches came down on my wife's car and I just noticed a tree leaning on the side of our house. Yippee!!

5-8 inches of slop, down to blacktop everywhere mid morning. Not as bad as for us as we thought..

We could use it after 3 events in 6 days. Time to go through gear and rest. Worked construction jobs this week too.
Agreed. We had only two events in the last 6 days, but I need to go over my plow. Other than losing a pin today (luckily I had a spare pin & clip) the plow is slow turning left..... you can tell the plow is struggling, like either a hose is failing internally or one of the three solenoids is not working correctly.
Up, down and right turn is all working properly.

I'll try a different controller first (I've got three extras) and then swap hoses before digging into the solenoids.

Yeah we’ve got all kinds of insane work lined up. Piles of snow coming off roofs onto loading docks, awning roofs raking, bidding loader work for removals, already have multiple places asking for the loader to come clean them out-old clients on the residential end I said by by to/too/two when we switched.

You're a far larger operation than I am, that's for sure.

I'm a one man residential only show.

Maybe a little system this weekend, but I'm okay with a few more salts and the start of landscaping season ----- but that is just me..

I am already getting hounded on getting construction projects wrapped up from last year. Never mind everyone knew I run a snow business before they signed with us. Never mind their projects are delayed by outside sources not us. On the snow end it looks like the weekend system has been pushed back till Monday. For me at one at one way or the other. Winter ends early spring or winter hammers and gives me the excuse to not be around for construction. This back-and-forth crap can end anytime.

we got a weak 2-3” coming in tonight and then the verdict is still out for Tuesday but has some potential to be a decent size…

Got about 4" so far of light fluffy stuff, another 1"-3" still coming..... Or so they say.

Tuesday forecast is 3"-5" during the day and another 2"-5" Tuesday night. Might have to postpone band rehearsal if we get what they're saying on Tuesday.

Nothing here yet. I wouldn’t mind a weekend off. Staying up late to see how if develops and let the guys know what to do.

Monday/Tuesday they’ve begun talking about “historic” and “once in a generation.” Oh boy.
