It too hard of a rain. Cleaning the visor off every couple minutes was the worst part. Sled handled great, no problems there.
Good morning Mike! Hope your commute is good!

Good morning Michael! No school here today.

Good morning Dustin and Troy. Today is a good day for you to not have to travel Troy. Pretty lame weather here.

Good morning guys! We have a 2-hour delay up here due to Highway 2 getting closed last night. Still to be determined if they'll push that delay further, but I doubt it.

Good morning Jake! Yeah there is a 2hr delay here at the Univ as well. I think I can only remember a couple times when the Univ has closed due to weather.

That's what is on my snowblower. I don't know a ton, but I've cleaned a couple of them.

I bought a gallon of some carb cleaning solvent from AutoZone. All I do to clean them up is take the bowl off, take out the needle and seat and any other non-metal parts, then drop it in the can for 24 hours. Pull it out, blow it out with an air compressor and put together again with new bowl gasket, needle and seat. Pretty simple process. It's worked great.

There are some PDFs on the web that I found that talk about which screw adjusts what setting.

Yeah, I'd believe it Troy. Basically we close whenever they shut down the plows on Highway 2 heading into Grand Forks. I pretty much figured they'd shut it down last night. As it was snowing pretty good and blowing even worse.

I realized last night, when I was headed to the grocery store, that after church yesterday morning I left my lights on.... Lovely. I have some studying to do yet this morning before I have to go to school, and then my roommate is going to try and jump me.

Good morning Lee! I have not heard a final amount but I would say at a least 12" or more of snow.
