[yote hunter]

Baloney- I'm jealous.

Let them enjoy it, we are just flyover state anyways, not like anyone would care if we were in trouble...

When I lived in Kalamazoo, this was known as "winter".

I grew up in Southwest Michigan and lived in GR for several years....I'm bored in the winters down here. What we had last year? West Michigan average winter.

I'm with ya! I didn't run out and buy a snowblower after last year, but the tires are still fairly new on the truck. I'm ready for a good snowfall.

Still, despite what I think of them politically, there will be a lot of good people who suffer needlessly out there.

The medical care will suffer, hard to get an ambulance through those conditions, especially when many will call them simply to get to the hospital because their other routes are not available.

Hey, being prepared to deal with the snow is just smart....here's me playing around after one of our so-called "snow storms". Yes, a 100 yard driveway on a 300+ yard private road (from my driveway) not maintained by the county, and I'm calling for more snow:

Lol, so called "snow storm". That would be a good workout with a shovel.

I like a real snowstorm like that. Then nobody expects me to go anywhere; I can huddle up with the fireplace, and do whatever I want. It's these 1-4" things that just mess up my commute and schedule that are bothersome.

Fair point. If someone in my family needed fast medical care, I'd have a problem. But for typical stuff, you can find someone with a snowmobile or get the snow plow to get you there.
During the 78 winter, my brothers gave a doctor a ride on their snowmobiles, to some people that needed him.

Sorry to here about the people abusing the ambulance rides though.

I am in the potential 3 ft. area. Just got the car parked and kicking back to watch it. Potential for 24 hours of whiteout starting at midnight. Should be epic.

Been watching the news wondering what those people are gonna do with those snow shovels they're buying in preparation for the coming white death. My old snow removal plan graduated high school and joined the Army last summer so I bought this 56" substitute to mount to a 27hp Kohler diesel 4X4 tractor. It has made quick work the two times we've had accumulation this season. I'd love to have some real depth to play in. Ironically, Private Funeralweb is at Fort Wainwright, AK where they've got a foot of accumulation and -44 degree weather. Being a Private, yes, he has been shoveling snow.

Stuff like this requires a Bobcat or 2. The machine above ^ would be nice as well.

Glad we dodged that bullet.

 

[hoosierdoc]

We were in Ft Lauderdale today flying home. It was full of New Englanders trying to get home a day or two early. I felt bad for them.

 

[Joe G]

That thing is epic!!

Right up until you attempt to move serious snow with it as it will bring that tractor to its knees, furthermore when the snow is deep, as in 4-5ft drifts you might as well not even get it out as you can take two cuts if its to deep but once it gets real deal its useless.

Having said all that I am sure it works great for the little snows we get here so not trying to put it down just been there done that.
