The Weather Thread

Just watched a woman put a chair in a spot she didn't shovel.

Take it and throw it away.

Ought to, but not gonna.  Kids who cleared it don't live here, aren't coming back.  Woman who put it there is fat dumb and black. So is her daughter, who she made put the chair in the spot.  Sure, they shouldn't do that but it don't confront me past the ethics of it, and if I start picking fights with Baltimore residents over ethics, I'm never gonna not fight.  Her lot in life blows, I'll leave her alone to suck on it.

I honestly have no clue how much we ended up with.  I was happier than hell to have a snowblower, as the drifting was ridiculous.  Plowing with the tractor was useless by the time i went out Saturday around noon.  Had 4+ foot drifts across a 15 yard area in the driveway.  And I'll take another big storm in a heartbeat.

I thought my buddy with a Ford 8N --cool old little tractor--would be fine, but it turns out that tractors aren't so great in snow.  The tires are made for dirt, not snow.  And certainly not snow on tarmac.  It was useless to him for plowing.

Exactly right on snow setups, I have a JD2320 with a bucket loader/Ag Tires/3 pt Rear Plow.  Smaller storms I've been fine depending on the consistency of the snow.  It's all about weight and grip, so I would need Chains or loaded/studded tires.  Knew this storm would be bad when I started getting calls from neighbors 2 days before asking to help them get the big stuff moved.

Jesus Christ that is awful.

I think I mentioned this before but when we first moved from PA to Alabama and then Kansas we'd see that shtein all the time. Luckily we never had them get close to the house but some did get close enough where we'd have to hunker down in the closet under the stairs in our Kansas house.

In 1991 when we first moved there my mom took my brother and I out to Wal-Mart. Storm rolled in with a quickness. By the time we got home there was a funnel coming down across the street from the house. It stopped halfway down and never touched down.

shtein your pants scary. Especially as an 11yr old.
