A tiny bit of snow today !

[Lane Ranger 10,968]

I put the 854 to work clearing the driveway this afternoon.  
 

Not much snow but a little bit of fun!

Some people are a bit too desperate for seat time...

[Ed Kennell 38,260]

Gotta grab your seat time before the sun steals it>

[rjg854 11,389]

I know I'm desperate for seat time. No snow in Central NY and it's the middle of January. Had one snow that was enough to plow, but that's been it

None going on here either. 

Trina wants it for snowshoeing but I could do without and be perfectly happy. 

 

@Lane Ranger good work Sir. 

[Achto 27,623]

Good to see that you could have some fun Lane.

 

We received a little wet sloppy stuff over night. Not enough to get the blower out but I did get to have some fun pushing the slop off from the sidewalk with my C-145.

We've been missing most of the storms here in Southern Maine too. 

 

I'm still ok with it.

Some days I drive a  from the shop to the house at lunch time just to get seat time.

[WVHillbilly520H 10,373]

On the way to my parents in WV this morning. Right near the state line elevation 3400ft and me in my 2wd truck.

[SylvanLakeWH 25,608]

4 pushes so far in SE Michigan... all 1-2” small stuff... all gone...

[squonk 41,165]

I outgrew snow when I went on blood thinners.

[Maxwell-8 4,277]

10 years ago we had regularly basis 6inches of snow, now, one time in the 3 years, one inch.  Are we already experiencing climate changes?

[ebinmaine 67,705]

Climate change is a natural occurrence but I do believe the humans are helping accelerate it greatly.

I read an article where a "world expert" on global warming basically admitted that global warming was a big lie...she was apologizing for misleading people on the effect of burning fossil fuels on climate change.

She talked like the whole global warming movement got out of hand and began to "snowball" (pun intended)...so fast it was hard to stop the multi- billion dollar global warming industry.

I'm glad to see you're keeping it pointed in the right direction!

With the quarantines, greenhouse production for '20 was down something like 80%

Few are concerned with naturally occurring climate change.  The one to worry about is the human-driven one we find ourselves in now where we are indeed accelerating into unknown territory. 
 

Anthropogenic sources of atmosphere influencing agents have been a byproduct  of creating a civilized, industrial society.  How we deal with these costs is subject to wide ranging philosophical interpretation.  
 

But the science is pretty clear that ongoing or pending climate change isn’t a natural occurrence.

I’m glad you used quotation marks around “world expert” for the gadfly that penned that apology.  
 

As suggested, I did the google search and then spent the next several hours reading into this a little more deeply.   It was quite interesting.  Most of what I read presented a contrarian view to the author’s.  
 

there is certainly a multi-billion dollar industry involved with climate change, but there aren’t very many scientists getting rich from their efforts.

Agreed. And well spoken. 

 

And I wonder on less than rare occasion... Just how "civilized" are we.....

Funny thing from 1990 -2006 I drove that very stretch daily to work in various 2wd trucks, tire chains in the tool box for when needed, my dad did it from 1967- mid 90s in a 2wd, before finally getting a 4x4.

[Jrblanke 857]

Don't lie @Lane Ranger, you were afraid that ford wouldn't be able to make it out of the driveway. Its cool. Your secret is safe with us. 

[Pullstart 62,922]

I too was hoping for a bit more for a change...

We have a new dusting of snow this morning, but of course my dozer blade is adjusted higher than the amount of snow we got

I'm shocked you won't be using the 4 X 4 truck to get the mail today!
