Doing what I do for a living, I have never seen weather like this.
Storms this year of been extreamly long, most quite nasty.
The part the never ceases to amaze me, are the idiots that feel the need
to go out in this, if I ever get to the point I do not have to do this, you
won't be able to drag me out of the house during a storm.
I don't understand how peoples lives are so bad, they need to get away from
the place they call home. Can't be for bread or milk, everyone buys
70 gallons of water and milk, 60 loaves of bread, to get the through
a day or two.
What is scary is they think they are good drivers lol. Sorry no your not
Not even with winter tires and the SUV / Truck. thats good in snow.
Make the lives of poeple who clean this shit up easier and stay home, out of the way
and we will do it faster and better job, mind you then you will have less to bitch about
not sure thats good.
my rant for the day, looks like I should get full night sleep tonight
be better tomorrow, Also I will likely know what day it is, I think

There’s a crew of cowboys out there thrill seeking or thinking they can “help” others that should have stayed put in the first place. Has a couple cases in one of the earlier storms where people were stuck for 20+ hrs running out of gas & then calling for help. Seems like the Gene pool needs cleaning some days!

At least, you don’t have to shovel +9 rain. ?
It was -10 here the night before last and we were getting ice pellets, followed by freezing rain at -2, -3.
-10 should be snow.
Anyway, we got 1 to 2 inches of that combo.
Maximum only reached -1 all day, then started plunging the other way to -17 this morning.
It was a race to get that concoction off driveways or whatever else you wanted to uncover, because if not done in time, that crap ain’t melting til June.
One of my heat pumps stopped working.
The outside fan froze to the edges of its shroud.
Had to break out the heat gun and clear it all up.
No, not normal.
Probably global warming.

Nothing but cold up here.
-32 again this morning from 6 to 8.
Went out to groom ski trails at 7.
Did them Wednesday morning but crust was so thick and hard it didn’t do great job.
Left ice chunks, some close to fist size.
Since weekend crowd today and tomorrow,
another pass this morning, slower, and over same area as Wednesday chewed things up much better second time around.
Pretty decent now for what we had to work with.
More like road salt mixed with sugar is the consistency now.

What do you groom with nowadays? I know years ago they used alpines and ski drags but I would bet the tech is much better now. Do you use something similar to a snowmobile trail groomer now?

Actually it’s just a smaller version of a downhill ski groomer with 2 hydraulic controlled track setting pans attached to the snow tiller at the back.
It’s a Pisten Bully with 200 hp diesel engine and 10 foot wide tiller.
The new downhill groomers are more like 300 and up hp and tillers starting at 14 feet wide and wider.
I should have snapped a couple shots this morning. It was cold but very good light.
A couple pics here off the net.
This is the kind of trail we put out.
You get 3 chances to guess who the skier is, and the first two don’t count. ?
