Popular Post other dog Posted January 27 Popular Post Share Posted January 27 A snow plow finally went by about 3 o'clock yesterday, as seen in this screenshot from a surveillance camera- I had only seen one pickup truck go by since it snowed. I haven't been out to investigate today but the plow pushed a wall of snow up in the driveway so I might go out and shovel a little bit in case we need to get out. Not even supposed to get above freezing for a week. 4 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Freightrain Posted January 27 Popular Post Share Posted January 27 We got a solid 12" by Sunday. I plowed Sat afternoon to get the first 6" cleared out of the way. Then did it again Sunday. I also did three neighbors drives, cause I'm a good guy. I enjoy playing on the ol Cub cadet. Now it can all melt and be 72*. 😉 3 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Popular Post The Heinz Posted January 27 Popular Post Share Posted January 27 They were calling for an absolute ice-maggedon here, just for it to sleet most of the time. Do not get me wrong, I'm thankful for that, but man, it got everyone here panic buying everything! I know a lot of other places got hit hard, so I'm thankful we got off easy this time.

Popular Post other dog Posted January 27 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 27 I made an early run to the store before the storm hit to get provisions too. I got a 12 pack and a bag of bird seed. I got the wall moved into the ditch across the road today. I had to break it up into big chunks with a round point shovel, then used my grain shovel/ snow shovel to move it. I only worked about a half hour at a time, then I took a break. I think we could get out now if we had to. 5 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post cruiseliner64 Posted January 28 Popular Post Share Posted January 28 Nice weather Paul.We are rained out of it here.According to the weather people we have had 6 times the average rainfall for January...They say the polar air mass affecting the US has blocked a deep low pressure system centered just west of Ireland and spead up the jet stream collecting a massive amount of moist air and dumped it on us and the UK along with strong gale force winds.The country is flooded with main roads impassable and rail services suspended.Ferry services are also suspended Even large cargo ships are staying in port.Air traffic is operating but with delays.....Roll on the summer!!!

Tractor trailers with snow on the roof of the trailer that get stopped. The police will call a road side repair service to come out and shovel it off for you. And you know the driver/company will be charged for the road call. We had an overhead V-plow to do the trailer roofs in our yard. Problem was you had to shovel the snow that landed on the ground to the side before the next truck drove through. .....Hippy Edited February 1 by 70mackMB Add picture 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76356-so-how-about-this-weather/#findComment-590157 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself and another supervisor will go out periodically & check on it then grab the shops plow truck and clear it. Yesterday during the busy evening rush of P&D drivers coming through one of them called me & said "I'm stuck across the street". He was going to a customer to do a trailer switch that is less than a mile away that we always refer to as "going across the street" so I asked him "going to or coming from" and he replied "I was going to take my 15 minute break". That's when I realized that he, with an empty 48', had pulled out of our yard and across our street to the recently build but unoccupied building that has a nice lot that they all like to take their breaks in which has not been plowed at all! I asked him, what made you think that was a good idea? Um, there were tracks in the snow (4X4 tracks).... I told him to log his break and as soon as I could, as I'm the only supervisor working from 17:00 until 20:30, I would get over there and pull him out. I just ran my strap through his ICC bumper and hooked my J-hook into the last notch of the slider rail and gently pulled him out with my Chevy/Duramax. A lot of guys were already laughing at him but not as hard as the previous day when our P&D dispatcher left and immediately went nose first into the ditch about 90' after leaving our exit drive in his 4X2 Dodge pickup. Kids today..... 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76356-so-how-about-this-weather/#findComment-590170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
