Man a little over a foot of snow and we are DONE! GEEZ! It is crazy here. I am sure it is plenty of other areas. Just NEVER seen this in Tulsa. WOW! Down here the building codes are not that same as up north or out east. We have had at least two major roofs collapse. One was at the Cherokee Hard Rock Casino. From what the news has said, the ceiling area was about the size of 3 football fields. I find that hard to believe in the area that collapsed but hey you never know. No injuries or deaths thank God. Then there was some plant or warehouse in Pryor that had a roof collapse too. It is NUTS here. WOW! I do plow snow with my skid steer, but I am SO NOT GETTING OUT! I can navigate ok, I have been out in it. But I would prefer to just stay home. The largest reported drift here is like 4 foot! NEAT! When I was out in it I not only left tire ruts, but you could see where my truck was bottoming out as well. Looks like a sled trail! LOL Anyway, nice and warm, roof is at a nice pitch so I have no worries about mine collapsing. Have food, water, coffee, boos and my girl here. So I am going to nip the bottle and nip the something else too! ROFLMFAO!!!! You guys be careful out there if you are in this storm!

 

Yeah, snow storms in NY are crazy and breaking records. Since Christmas there, has practically been a storm every week. I plow my churches lot with a skid steer and it is quite a job especially with 25 inches of wet snow like we got after christmas. We already got 5 ft total of snow here in NYC, and around here - thats unheard of and breaking records. Anyway, be safe ya'll.

 

4 foot snow drift? I plowed like 5 of them on my way out the driveway to get to work this morning I'm looking forward to the 8 footers they say we might get...

 

im done with snow...... here in Missouri their activating the national guard my unit hasn't been called yet though im waiting... i need something to do a good reason to get out of here

 

The snow missed us but they're calling for an inch of rain tonight...I figure that + the snow on the ground now that will melt will probably result in some flooding...

 

We got 9 inches here in Ludlow MA, but I'm curious whats happening in other areas. For some reason I get a lot less that my parents do and they're only ~10 miles east of me in Palmer. We had a storm last week that I got maybe 4" (didn't measure) my parents got 10!

I'm pretty well cleaned up, got most of it done, came in for lunch and a break, have to go out and clear around the mail box and shovel the path to the propane tanks again. Supposed to be more mess tomorrow, I'm not looking forward to it. I'm a teacher, and while snow days can be a welcome break, it looks like they're going to axe April vacation, and that really pisses me off. This makes the 6th snow day (plus one 2 hour delay) and tomorrow isn't looking good either.

 

I am tired of it myself.. Pays good but I am ready for spring...Getting ready to put up my greenhouse for my garden stuff to get a head start..Gotta eat.....Gotta go in tonight a finish a set of walking beam bushings on a dumptruck...couldn't finish it today...the loaders were tied up..this county got another 4500 tons of salt coming in..

 

Sunny here in washington..belive it or not

 

Catfish, if it makes you feel any better, our salt supplier had 50,000 tons to start the winter, and since then they ordered 600 more tractor trailer loads. They figure they will have to order more in another 2 weeks or so.

 

Well Tulsa broke records! We have officially gotten more than 13 inches of snow. I think 13.3 inches total, previous record was 12.8 inches back in '06. WOW and this is officially our second blizzard. The first one was Christmas Eve 2009. I so did not have any plow stuff going on. Couldn't. But people are paying up to 150 per driveway cleared with a skid steer! LOL DAMN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Simple driveway takes less than 30 minutes! That includes loading and unloading the tractor. Hell most guys are just driving their skid steer from house to house! Most times they have the whole block lined up! LESS TIME = MORE MONEY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh well que sera sera! It is going to be worse when this stuff freezes really hard tomorrow.

 

Here in DFW we got sleet and ice. I didn't have work today and it looks like I will be home tomorrow, too. I cleaned off the car today and spent most of the rest of the day on the computer. Not much else to do.

When I lived in MA, a 4FT snow drift was just part of what you had to dig your car out of in a mild storm. If it were only snow we got last night, I would have gone to work for a while. You can't really drive on ice or survive the other drivers who can't.

 

What is a skid steer? Is that a fork lift?

30 Minutes? What are you doing, building their kids a snow fort, too? LOL I've seen plow drivers tidy up a driveway in under 10 minutes and that includes shoveling the walk way by hand. And they still get $30-$40 per job.

 

There calling on a couple of feet of snow around me, nothing at all yet. Supose to start overnight and last throughout the day tomorrow.... not looking forward to traffic tomorrow morning!



I am looking forward to some drifting tho

 

Oooh, I miss playing in the snow...the adult way! Drifting, spins, slides... You have to be careful, though. I don't miss cleaning up all the snow for SIX MONTHS, though, so you can keep it. HAHA

 

My lord you are SO RIGHT! I did venture out today. First time I ever put chains on the FRONT TIRES! WOW now that was cool! LOL I navigated quite well, just took it easy, about 15 mph, that was the lightening speed! LOL I so helped tons of people get unstuck! LOL I just used the front bumper with a pintle hitch in the receiver and a good tow rope! Yanked them all over the place. The best ones were the ambulances and fire trucks! That was cool! I did not ask for money but some people tipped anyway. I made 26 bux! HAHAHAHAHHA Have fun y'all! Be safe slow and steady.

Eaton, a skid steer is more commonly referred to as a Bobcat. However that is the "brand". A small wheel loader if you will. It is versatile enough to operate many, many different attachments. I just use my demolition bucket. It is wide and I can really dig in and get the ice up too. Plow trucks around here leave ice. That is why plow truck guys have to get out and ice melt everything. It is easier to ice melt everything now matter what is plowing it. But easier with a skid steer.
