Had a few inches last week. Schools canceled because of the timing. Grand kids showed up and rode sleds for hours! Plus a snowman and ate like linebackers. I like it! The view from the WH shed down the double diamond.

Aside from my time in the Army, I've lived my whole life in NC. When I was younger, you learned how to drive in the snow and just did it. It didn't matter if your vehicle was rear wheel drive only. You just used your hat holder the way it was intended. Maybe after a day or two a plow truck (or your local farmers) would clear the roads. But we did well regardless. Years later, the brine trucks started running. Melted all the snow, which re-froze at night and created a two lane ice sheet. Wrecks everywhere. Someone will have to help me understand why such things are better...

Agreed 100%

Yeah, There's that too. I was thinking of the words that come out as your shoveling. Don't eat the yellow snow...

awesome thanks just put my order in

I've only ever seen it in two colors.

Our roads are still covered with a dusting(of brine, not snow) from last weeks forecast of a possible dusting of snow. Can't wait till spring when the 12 million gallon of Pa brine gets washed down the river to the Chesapeake Bay. The increased salinity should bring the rock fish and crabs up to my end of the Bay. Maybe I can sell enough crabs to replace a couple rusted up vehicles.

Heres a set painted in the summer

Yes sir! I think before I moved here the city (Raleigh) completely dropped the ball on an actual 100 year snow event. Since then it seems they have shot way past what is necessary. Ground temp is well above freezing, it has been pretty wet for a NC winter and they still brine and salt. I went outside to start my car. Cold for here, back deck was an ice sheet. yard dusted. Driveway was clear, roads clear, overpasses clear. ALL roads looked like there was a snow event. No sir! Just excessive salt and brine. As previously stated... great for me, on the road virtually alone. Super stress free. All (snow) gone by 10 am.

What in the fresh #$*@ is this? Gone once the sun peeked out, roads clear. Stuff still shutdown or delayed. Watch the forecast. If we get over an inch, grab a buddy or two, a sixer and head over with a sharpened stick. You could take over the entire state.

Happy Birthday Bear....

Happy birthday! Thank you for all you guys contribute

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁!

I looked at mine, and swore at it for a bit because the side panel wont go back on. Then went back inside.

Yes, X2!

Got the transaxle case back together on my C-120, after changing out the differential assy. Of course, that's when I realized that the only oil I have on hand is all 30W Anybody need a good diff with trashed axles? Or, does anyone have any good "repurposing" ideas? I suppose I could get a forge and make a few swords.

I rarely shovel. Around here either it's enough to plow and I love it, or not enough to worry about On the rare occasion it falls in between my kids are old enough to go do the shoveling for me.

Every one makes mistakes. Good people own up to them and do all that they can to correct the mistake. Great people try to help correct a mistake that was not even their fault.

Are they PAR36 ? Just installed these on a 416 and 315 - 100% better and brighter

At our end of North Carolina there are so many steep winding roads with a drop off on one side and solid rock on the other side that it doesn't take much snow to bring things to a halt. We had only one snow worth plowing last winter. I cleared our driveway and a few hundred feet of our road to the top of the first hill. It remained very cold and by the time the NCDOT got around to coming down our remote road the snow had melted and refrozen into a mile of ice. I had to take my wife for a doctors appointment before the ice melted but having grown up in New York's snow belt I knew how to deal with it.

Added a lift assist spring for snowblower on the 702. Made it definitely easier to raise up. With my lower back issues I need any help I can.

PennDOT did find a use for the obsolete snow plows. I see them following the flair mowers and plowing the brush off to the sides.

SE Michigan sits on a massive salt deposit. The mine under Detroit is something else... so, salt is cheap... so we spread it roughly at an 1:1 ratio with snow... eats cars. We make cars. Hey - circular economy!!! Salt = $$$ Cars = $$$ What's not to love??? But to Ed's point above - massive environmental impact and it destroys our roads...
