Re: Well it's snowing
I enjoy it when you get snow cause you're always good at posting pics of your plow truck doing what it was designed for!

Re: Well it's snowing
We have been hit with some snow but mostly cold weather. Nothing like Jeff is seeing. I just can't imagine what it would be like to handle that much snow!
Good luck to you, Jeff! Jim

Re: Well it's snowing
I just got done plowing the communities’ roads & driveways. The community has a ‘73 3/4 ton Ford truck. I’m the Fix Or Repair Daily guy. This summer I’m going to put power steering on it. We looked into another vehicle (short wheel base & PS) but our plow wouldn’t work on it. We have a real heavy plow blade(8.5 foot Western) and it Nice. I wont fit some smaller trucks. So the short wheel base truck was ruled out. We could have gotten a new plow but it’s $4K.
The nice thing about plowing with the Ford, I don’t cry whenever it gets banged up! s/t

Re: Well it's snowing
I hate snow and it still snowing here in Central Pa. I wish I had a truck like that CPNE. When I was younger I used to ride around with my dad and I was his power angle adjustment the old pull the pin and spin I loved it.

Re: Well it's snowing
I think I'm close enough to the coast here (Southern coastal Maine)that we may only get around 12". No complaints here, it's been a really easy winter so far.
CPNE-My "Farmtruck" is long gone now, and so is the '71 Z-28 I did after it, but I am looking for a 67 or 68 short step to do as my next project. If you hear of any, feel free to drop a pm....John ![]() |

Re: Well it's snowing
CPNE, it's just now getting serious here on the coast. Guess it's time to light the wood stove, turn on the tunes, and pull a couple of wrenches. No sense in rushing into cleaning out the driveway now. They say it will continue to early AM here. 12" to 18".
When I get really old (I'm already sorta old,) I'm going to put my snow blower on the back of my truck and drive south until someone asks me "what is that thing?" Then I'll know where to retire!

Re: Well it's snowing
When I was in Kittery in 1985-1989 (submarine at the shipyard) I never felt such cold as I did there.
Man was it cold.

Re: Well it's snowing
GEEZ!!!!!!! Tell me about it! I had all my meetings in IN cancelled yesterday when it first started snowing...they were claiming about 12" at the time. I was in PA and flew to NJ then Chicago...what was I thinking? I was lucky to get out of Chicago (they were only cancelling 1/2 of the flights) and flew to Houston before getting back to Seattle at 3:00AM this morning. I just love travelling in the winter...LOL! My traveling partner is stuck on I-695 trying to get out of Baltimore...he should have left with me...ROFLMAO!
