can whlvr 994 #1 Posted February 8, 2017 weel once again we are having a major ice storm,i just home home from going to the city and we have over an inch of ice,im surprised the power is still on,this is getting relly tiresome,theres no good that comes from ice,trees break,hydro lines go down,accidents in cars and peole falling,and this is one of the reasons mu good friend passed a few weeks ago,cant ski on it,cant snowmobile on it,and have to spread so much salt around it cant be good for the environment,and then theres my job,i have a few miles of roads and paths to clear and its mostly manual spreading,oh joy,what ever happened to a normal winter with snow,not rain every storm,sorry just had to vent as ive personally had enough this winter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DennisThornton 4,771 #7 Posted February 8, 2017 We've had more ice than normal. I try to leave as much snow as I can to keep the ice from building directly on the drive but that has backfired on me too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 994 #8 Posted February 8, 2017 up here we get several ice storms a year,or should I say freezing rain events,but this year has been brutal,we got 1 inch of ice last night ,but it got warm in the middle of night and it melted it off the trees so we didn't get too much damage,still some people with out power but not real serious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 994 #9 Posted February 13, 2017 so since the ice storm it hasn't stopped snowing,weve probally received 14 inches since Tuesday,but its been warm too so it compresses,but not very good for blowing,i use the skid steer mostly because its been heavy snow most times 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
