{OT} Hey, Ray and Charles (NO, NOT Ray Charles)

Colder. And the hardest part of geting around is the jerk that owns the apartment building. He's had it plowed once, back at 5 am yesterday. The snow continued until noon, so it despirately needs replowed. The temp hasn't got above freezing since then so it's not melting. We got about 6 inches. At least that's what she said.

Right now we've got an inch of ICE on the parking lot. No salt, no plows. Barstid cheapskate. The roads are all clear. Of course, he's converting to condos, so he is trying to suck all the money out of it he can. Condos are made to con people out of their dough.

How about F*ing COLD?

They're in the Midwest, I take it?

Anyway...

Hey, if you can get ping Ray Charles to answer/come back to life, that'd be cool! I never saw him in concert & now regret it...

We got about 6 ~ 8 inches of sleety snow Thursday night - Friday morning that turned into wet heavy snow, now it is about 20 degrees and cloudy. My snow blower doesn't have trouble blowing wet, heavy snow but it does have poor traction so I end up having to push it. I think I'll invest in some tire chains for the blower.

Charles, you might want to check out the B.S. apartments just west of H.E. Village Hall. It is probably under a mile to where you work - you could walk or bicycle on nice days.

He didn't see you either......

Up here in Edmonton, Canada, my snow blower, WITH chain equipped wheels, sometimes spins, even in low. Mind you, not very often. Gas is 84.9 cents CDN a litre. Consider yourselves lucky.

I miss my Wheel Horse tractor with the dozer blade :-(

It handled 18" of wet snow without any trouble, without the snow blowing back in your face, with no soreness in the morning.

Gas jumped from 225.9 to 239.9 at Exxon/Mobil the day of the storm. The spirit of Johnny Rockefeller lives on. . . . . Forutnately I already had a full tank that I bought for 218.9

We don't have Ray Charles, but occasionally Stevie Wonder's working in the shipping department..

Hey guys - that's why they make those little bolt-on wheel weights for the snowblower tires. Chains plus weights.

Then again, wouldn't it be easier to make studded tires?

Damn cold, I was out in it limping on my injured toe. It's feeling a lot better, maybe I'll go jogging Sunday, but maybe not. Wickeddoll said to stay off, she is a medical pro so I'll follow her advice.

Yes, for some reason I feel a year older.

My tractor had wheel weights (25 lbs on each wheel) and chains and rarely spun its tires. The wheel diameter on my snowblower is probably to small to hold enough weight to make a difference. I'm hoping that chains will provide enough traction.

My snow blower does not have the problem ;-)

When you need a snow blower in Florida, we're ALL in trouble! lol

Thanks for rubbing it in!

It should....at a slower speed, though.

I thought that in the Florida panhandle that snow was not totally rare.
