2 inches of rain, followed by 2 inches of sleet, with snow coming, but no matter how much we get, I probably won't be putting in seat time. I have the stomach flu.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Our forcast keeps changing, from clear a few days ago, to some rain, and now for snow starting tomorrow late. Not looking good for me fetching mine Sat, but we will see.

I have my snow blade and chains on. I am ready! Therefore, we will get no snow. :( :( :( :roll:

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Any one know of any problems hindering traffic on any or all of Interstates 84, 80, 70 and 40 from Idaho to Tennessee, roughly speaking?

We have received 6.1 inches of rain in the last 24 hours but no sleet or snow yet. I'm sure it is coming.

So far here in west central Illinois it's rained last couple of days, last night got down to 30. (I even deiced it was time to drain the water lines in the garage and winterize the power washer) Then today it was cold and got colder as the day went on, then it started sleeting around 5:00pm and anytime now we are "suppose" to start getting 8 to 14 inches of that ugly nasty white cold crap. I suppose they are bound to hit that forecast right one of thes days :!: :x .


Well Cub is still mounted with the blade from over a year ago, never dismounted it this year. I was hoping this might scare off the snow, we will see. :D But just in case I still have all four wheels wieghts on as well as a full tank of gas. :wink:

The weather's been crazy . . . here in Northern New Jersey it's been in the 60's all week. Hit 70 today . . . just came in at 8:45 and it's still 63! Supposed to get that cold front from the midwest this weekend that's causing all the trouble.

Good luck to you guy's in the midwest . . . sounds like you're getting rough weather!! What's it's doing right now?

It's 830pm and I'm here NW of Chicago and nothing yet. Chains were put on after work, tractor moved into garage from pole barn. Have gas for tractor and snowblower,and I'm ready to try my power angle blade. I even remembered to put the snow brushes in both cars. Snow was supposed to start at 3pm, but since I'm ready nothing will happen.

I got the cubs sitting in the back yard still with their mowers still on. Maybe there will beno school tomorrow so I can get a plow on or two. It started raining here last night, has quit for only a few hours in the afternoon but is all sleet right now. Coming down hard enough I can hear it falling. Thay are predicting 5 to 12 here, maybe even as much as 16 inches. What ever we get here I'll be ready, "The Deere is in the shed" the restored cub is right next to it ready to go all it needs is a snow plow. Hate to work to Old Cubby to hard, that's why I bought the Deere.

Have fun and stay safe.

Us Northeastern Okies so far have 2" sleet topped by approx 6-12"
snow before it's all over. Just drove into work thru all that stuff.
I know (to most of you folks) that ain't no big deal, but to us Okies
it really is!! The real problem here is both my CUBS are in
pieces or otherwise inoperative. No seat time for me :cry:
And it's an extra bummer, as we don't often get this kind of winter
weather!!

Bill
