Getting ready for round 3, had 4" on the cap rail of the fence yesterday before I knocked it off, have 3" up there today. Sure looks funny out here, everyone comes out within a minute of each other to shovel for 15 minutes and we all head in at the same time, but we're gittin it done. lol

I`m glad we`e not getting snow here, the Bobcat is still away for repairs with more hydraulic oil leaks found. So far it sounds like the cost of repairs will be way into the 4 figure range, most of it is for labour.

Bobcats aren't fun to work on / in thats for sure, pretty tight area even for someone my size and that belly pan is usually oily, greasy and dirty. The front ends are all done around here and I've only have the last 12' in the back to do and that goes out the gate and into the alley.
I hear BC got whacked pretty heavy and is still getting snow. Sigurd had to stop in Chilliwack as he couldn't see where he was going, the Coq was a schmozzle going and coming back and the lower mainland wasn't any better. Buddy Larry was telling me it's the worst he's seen out there and he's lived there for 25+ years. Buddy Dwight is snowed in up in Windermere and nobody is leaving the valley unless they absolutely have to as they can't keep the highways clear enough. Even the cell towers are having problems there as only half my text's are getting through.

For sure Bobcats aren't designed to be worked on, a lot of parts go in a small, compact area. Mirrors come in handy.
I`m glad we`re not getting what BC got, sounds bad.

We got about 5" of snow yesterday and today. Got the driveway cleaned after work and helped Matthew with his snow fort. Your truck is really coming along John, will it be ready this summer?

Tomorrow night is supposed to be the end of our cold weather and then we get to just above 0. The snow is coming your way Morris, we got about 7 inches in total and will have some more to sweep up in the morning.

The end of our cold weather is Thursday but only a high of -10°C Perry, our pop is between 10 to 30% with about 1 cm of snow expected on Thursday. Hopefully that forecast holds, hoping that it snows it`s self out before it gets here. So far the snow has been south of us.
