dcrage 621 #1 Posted January 3, 2014 I like to wait to the last moment to put the snow equipment on -- I guess tomorrow is the day -- The forecast for the St. Louis area is 8" of snow by Sunday PM with temperatures getting down to -10F -- I won't be able to ignore the snow in the driveway -- I will be taking the 37" SD off the 310-8 and putting the snow blade; chains; and weights on -- Maybe I just not a "northerner"; I never look forward to snow duty; mowing seat time I enjoy and look forward to; plowing snow not so much At least now I am putting the snow equipment on inside a garage -- In the '90s I would have been laying in the snow putting the blade on -- That is a little bit of progress 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,229 #3 Posted January 3, 2014 Dave, you are one lucky guy to get that much snow with those low temps that far south. Good thing is...that snow will be a very dry snow and easy to push. Way too much fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 500 #4 Posted January 3, 2014 I stayed warm and dry this year for snow removal, helps having an 18 year old at home with nothing better to do. But now I have to fix(well point and tell him which part to take off next) what he broke again. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good thing is...that snow will be a very dry snow and easy to push. Way too much fun. So Steve you are telling me this kind of snow is what you guys look forward to playing in??? -- I can guarantee to you that I WILL HAVE SOCKS ON when I take this stuff on (For those who haven't seen his snow plowing videos; Steve likes to work sockless) Edited January 3, 2014 by dcrage 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #6 Posted January 3, 2014 Yep, this kind of snow is great for plowing and not hard on the equipment. My problem is...I am running out of places to push it. We have got a lot of snow lately and no real thaw since it started...and no thaw in site. Time for the blower. I'll bet you enjoy this snow Dave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
