:text-yeahthat:Not here it ain't  Cold, around 33 and windy and miserable out. 'posed to turn to sleet/snow later but thankfully no accumulation! Forecast is better for the weekend tho so hopefully channel 27 is right!

Must be warm out there  Ed ...on the eagle channel I saw flies bothering the eagle food. No sign of spring like that here yet save for the occasional lost robin! :)

Yeah Jim,  we had a few 60-70 days, but it turned cold today with 2" of rain forecast for tomorrow.

  If I lived up there Don,  the snow chucker and snow blade would be ready year round.

This is my third year of using it; works every time, just takes a few more weeks to take affect!     :ychain:

I see in the garden section the guys are prepping beds already so that gives hope! This weather aside this is a favorite time of year.... hopefully that "warm" rain we like will be here soon but I still believe that April showers bring May flowers!:P

Looks like you could make a couple of good Sasquatch costumes for Halloween out of that pile! :banana-gotpics:

Yard has already been mowed and rolled in one operation. I am gonna roll it again 90 degrees to the first rolling after the rainfall dries a bit. Some areas of the yard did not need mowing at all, but maybe 20% of the yard was due for the first cutting and now there will be no excess grass left behind next week at the first "real cutting"

 

 I had one area of the yard that was slow growing as compared to the rest and I came to the conclusion that it was due to lack of leaf litter. Last fall, I gathered leaves by the trailer load from a rental property and ground them up on the short thin grass area at home. The grass from leaf fertilizer is a natural green and does not have that fake looking blue fertilizer tint when mowed. I suppose that there could be a case made for adding [lime, maybe] to balance the effects of the rotting leaves on soil PH, but i will leave that to someone with more knowledge

 

 I hate to trailer mowers around just to cut rental house yards, so stealing those leaves will keep the rental property yard from growing so fast. The best leaves by far for nitrogen content are mulberry. Green and lush grass happens with mulberry like you cannot believe after a couple of years of mowing/grinding them into the soil.

I also look forward to the new life that comes with Spring, but you guys shouldn't be so hard on Ole Man Winter.

  He offers some advantages also...seat time on the snow blower,  peaceful walks on the snow shoes, and I know Craig looks forward to using his Lil Yellow Scraper.

Living here near the Mason-Dixon Line, we don't have the extreme weather you guys to the far North and the deep South probably experience. 

I actually enjoy all the seasons and the opportunities they offer, but I will admit, Spring and Fall are my favorites.

Yes Elliot,, I like to have a WH for every task.      I created Mad Max the Tiller several years back from a walk behind with a blown engine.

   I must give some credit to John, @wallfish, as I was inspired  by some of his creations from recycled parts.    Here is the link to the tiller build.

Yeah Jack,  While I was in town to deliver the 520 snow machine and pick up my mowers, I mowed my MIL's yard.  Maintaining her property in town is a small price to pay for the use of her large garage where I store all my seasonal horses, boats, and campers.    

After todays rain,  it will be roller time and with a day or two of sun, it will be mowing season.

 

 

  Hang on all you Northern guys......I guarantee "Spring is Coming"

Put a battery in and filled the Raiders fuel tank.  It took a little cranking , but he fired right up and was ready to work.   

 

I like my hydros, but for the roller duty, I prefer the gear drive.    They don't increase speed like the hydros when you have a load pushing down hill.

 

The humps flattened out pretty well after the 2" rain yesterday.
