Man, were you close to having your head chewed off....

Nice to see you doing something, anyhting, "outside" of the house. I guess you was all caught up on the baking'n stuff, huh?

[peter]

Is the cold weather that makes you that way? Ya'll have an unusual idea of what's fun....
don't envy you for a second. Running the A/C this evening, a bit warm and humid tonight.

Hey, I live in Montreal and I think they all need to be examined by state mental-health doctors. I pay $300/yr and have all that $hit plowed away for me. Matter of fact, I just started paying the kid next door to shovel the walkway and rear porch for me.

The day I get a heart attack, it'll be while I'm having sex or having some other fun. Sure as hell not while shovelling this white $hit....

Nice pics Matt. It's good you got to get out and away from the kitchen.

We've been getting a little snow too...

[astrozam]

[Smiliesafari]

You beat me to it, Zam. I was going to suggest the same. That poor girl's feet have got to be frozen.
MATT....Get that girl some footwear !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice photos!
Just curious ... and someone asked this before on old forum, what is the cost of setting up a snowplow? No hydraulics ... just a simple plow to get snow moved faster than hand power shoveling hah ha. What mount points need to be set? to the frame I assume ... where recover points are welded for us off-roaders already? :p

Might want to checkout the Snowbear wed site.They supply the mounting hardware for the the plows they sell.

New costs ....around $1000.00
You really do need at least a 2" lift or you have to modify the plow.

Oh I dont have a problem there
I am asking because our Government snowplowing service is very poor. We are expecting more snow in the next few days and there are so many stuck cars. If this global warming is the problem and we here in BC are being hit harder by the Arctic winds and less Tropical Express winds we will get more snow in the next year as well - might as well invest in the snowplow for my neighbourhood AND be able to plow other lots (like church) and private lots and make some dough doing it as well.

MORE SNOW

[phr1$k37]

hahah - hi Pots! Yes more snow.
My friend who is in from Ottawa was taking our -9C weather here as "warm" ... you guys have it cold there! We hit -17C and when I was on the island, -19C without wind chill factor. BUUUUR. We are expecting a good big dump of snow tonight. We have lots of the ground already and another 20cm tonight.

[potskie]

We have gotten snow here every night and most of the days for over a week now.... Expecting 15 cms tonight turning to freezing rain then just rain................ I'd kill for just that dusting you guys are getting ... I have built some massive snow mountains with the tractors. Starting next week we are doing removals.

[phr1$k37]

I take it you have seen photos of it here right?
It is nice. I personally like it a lot. unplowed lots since the start are about 1.5' tall no problem.

[potskie]

Oh ya lots o Snow. There are a fwe unplowed lots around here that are 2-3' deep right now. Not as bad as london tho. They keep getting hammered by lake effect night after night

[potskie]

Well we got hammered with 25cms. I'm normally driving a salt truck but we were short a plow operator and I know how so I was out plowing. I only got pics from the drivers seat I'll get proper ones later.....
