I hear you, even if one looks just at the cost of a $700 deductible never mind worse consequences.
With these is the traction/stopping characteristics on glare ice really great?

Still nothing for snow here Gerry but that might change on Tuesday evening when the temperature drops like it`s supposed to.

Nothing here yet on my farm Gerry.
I`m off to take apart that pesky brake drum of the L8000 which we`ve had nothing but trouble with. Tomorrow I`ll get another new replacement hopping that it`s finally an actual round one instead of an egg shape which the last two have been....

top of the morning to ya Gerry...out to shovel snow are ya?

I've got torn feelings about our mild winter so far. On one hand I'd like to be sledding in 3 ft of snow, but on the other hand, its nice to not have to bundle up to go outside, nice to not have to plug the vehicle in the garage, nice that animals and livestock will be getting a break from the usual -40's... Working in construction, its nice that a person can still enjoy working through the winter instead of trying to survive in the cold... Definately more pro's than cons to the mild weather. I don't know why we can't have it like they do back east. Mild but lots of snow.

I feel about the same as you Sherm.

I like some aspects of it, and dislike some aspects about it.

Ive found since I no longer work in the oil patch, I dont care as much if it gets cold or not. I would like snow. I won't whine and complain when it gets to be minus ten for this time of the year either though.

I sure do like being able to get things done outside. For once Im actually out of outside things to do, that I would be able to do at this time of the year.

Gonna have to create some work
