Haven't you heard? It's CLIMATE CHANGE!   That way they can add snowto the narrative  First Saturday after Thanksgiving we got a foot. Set records for one day total in November, one day total in a season, and earliest record snowfall. I reckon we're close to 20" so far. Temperature drops to -10 tonight. And it's only December 13 |

31 degrees here, at the present moment, steady wind out of the north at 18mph, overcast. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

| I remember when we used to get snow by Thanksgiving and it last all winter. We had around 3" last evening and night and was 7 degrees this morning and windchill of 0. |

I remember my Dad bragging that (years ago) he was able to (moldboard) plow on Thanksgiving Day because the ground wasn't froze. Now, it seems very rare (including this year) to have the ground froze by Thanksgiving. I am right on the Quebec / Ontario (5 miles to Quebec) border in New York. We have about 15" (+/-) of snow and it is 18 degrees here right now.

Global warming? Just think how cold it would be without it!!! I think yesterday’s high was 14 with a windchill of 5. Right after Thanksgiving I think we had 5-6” of snow but most of it has disappeared. ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD, 1963 A-C D17 series 3 |

Son had a buildout last year of snow plows for skid loaders and utility tractors to point he had 80+ plows setting in finished parts to assemble them to sell and ship So this year holes to clear his inventory - https://www.minnesotaimplement.com/snow-removal" rel="nofollow - https://www.minnesotaimplement.com/snow-removal https://www.minnesotaimplement.com/getquote" rel="nofollow - https://www.minnesotaimplement.com/getquote https://www.facebook.com/Minnesota.Implement/" rel="nofollow - https://www.facebook.com/Minnesota.Implement/ ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

Plenty of snow here. Like Steve said 4 good snows before Christmas. More than we have had in the last 3 years. Sure am glad I don't have any livestock to care for. I can remember spending whole days as a young man on a dairy farm trying to water cows , pigs and chickens. As soon as you fixed one thing another problem would pop up. I messed up this year and didn't have the back blade hooked up. The D17 nf was still hooked up to the rotary mower. The first snow I couldn't get it to start. Battery was low and wouldn't take a charge. Couldn't find my propane fired salamander. Man I really dropped the ball this year. Got a new battery, found the propane heater at the hunting cabin. I draped a tarp over 1/2 of the tractor and put the salamander heater on the other side and warm it up. No gas leaks and I can put my hand in between tractor and heater. Tractor fired up after 15 minutes. Got the blad on and went to town the last 2 snows . Not a good start to the winter but next 2 weeks look promising. 3 degrees out today, glad I got my outside stuff done yesterday. Stay warm guys. Wonder if someone snuck into Shameless's place and fired up the machine. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

| This weather should shut them up about GW until somebody tries to blame GW for this. |

yes, 3 weekends in a row with 4" - 8" snow each. First came with wind, cold near blizzard conditions. Second was colder but not windy, Third was windy / cold -17 in morning got to 12 this afternoon. Have to fix snowblower spout this week, quit turning. But weather is to be upper 30's to mid 40's up to Xmas. I hope so. I've a couple projects to get back to in shop. Hope everyone has a Merry Xmas and happy New Year. ------------- AC 200, CAH, AC185D bareback, AC 180D bareback, D17 III, WF. D17 Blackbar grill, NF. D15 SFW. Case 1175 CAH, Bobcat 543B, |

Have been plowing the church next door now for 50 years - Started plowing with a IH 300 with a single action loader and 6' back blade Then IH 460 Utility with 8' Arps back blade and duel action Henry Loader Got into idea of being warm and plowed with a Jeep Commando 7' Myers plow and jeep had a Buick V6 and turbo 400 transmission (AMC bought the rights to the Buick V6 when GM went back to a straight 6) couple years and GM bought the V6 back from AMC Went to a 77 Chev 4x4 with a 7 1/2 ' Western plow for next 10 years , then 85 GMC with a 6.2 Diesel (both trucks were 4 speed manual trany) Next came the 2000 GMC 4x4 4L80 auto. 6.0 engine and 8' boss plow for next 24 years Now using a 2010 GMC 6 speed tranny 6.0 engine with a 8'Boss plow - I bought this (2025) in March - has 30,000 miles on it (municipal truck) So from 0ver 40 hours of plowing with 1 truck to over using 2 trucks and 60 hours of plowing now down to just the one account . last 2 years was 2 plowings and little time - this year already more hours than total of last 2 ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?
