Put the puppy out first thing and she just barked at the big honkin raindrops coming down. My older dog just went out and showed her how it's done. Drive way was already like the surface of Maple Leaf Gardens. Now slop on top. Plowed as much as I could with HHHOOOWWWAAARRRDDD!!! No chains on him so I had to spread a bit of panther litter to get him out of the pile a couple of times. Needed to move the piles about 8 more feet so I had to get Elvis out with the 42" blade on the loader bucket. First time in 4 years I had to get him out for snow. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 11,507 #38 Posted February 17 Bottomed out at 0° and may not get beyond single digits today. Even though we got a bit more wet snow after I cleared it the asphalt took care of it and dried out before the temps dropped. Thankfully there's no need for seat time today. They are saying maybe the 40's next week. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We lucked out. The 50 degrees and high winds dried everything off yesterday. No ice this morning but cold and still blowing. I'm trying to work up enough nads to go out and bring in another trailer load of firewood. I worked my a$$ of for 50 years, so nothing left to freeze off. Like our dear friend, I also need to wear suspenders to hold my pants up. Rest Easy Waldo. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to spring.Take care and be safe out there on the farm. Right now at 1:30 Monday afternoon we are getting hammered with wind after ten inches of snow then rain Sunday then five more inches of snow and high winds. Many power outages but luckily I still have power, you are probably getting much of the same. I've been doing good other than cabin fever . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davem1111 2,074 #43 Posted February 17 My view out the back door yesterday. We got something like 5-6" of snow, which is no big deal after the last round. My problem is the rain we got Saturday before the snow, with saturated frozen ground. Seeping water found a way in between the main house slab and the addition slab. Wife and I were up till about 5:30 am moving stuff, sopping up water with towels, sucking it up with the shop vac, and ripping out walls and flooring panels that were just installed last summer (after we thought all leaks had been found and fixed). So now we're waiting for examinations and estimates from foundation experts to see what needs to be done and how much it will cost (and/or how much digging I need to do). 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
