Pushing snow
 

While ya'll be sitting in your warm house drinking beer, watching TV and or playing with the wifey I'll be spraying liquid salt and pushing snow with the tractor at the walmart and foodlion shopping centers and other places and probably pulling people out of places then they get stuck in the snow while I'm traveling from shopping center to shopping center.

We're "suppose" to get 1-3" tonite and between 5-10" by Sunday.

I'm checking the radar map @ 6:00 tonite and probably will be leaving right after that to start, Normally It takes me about 9-10hrs with 3 of us working the 2 tractors and the RTV doing the spraying.

I'll start spraying so by the time the other 2 get there the snow and ice wil have started melting and the tractors will be able to move it quickly.
This year I'm using a different liquid salt and I hope it keeps the snow from sticking, if it does I wont have to use the tractors.

I'll probably have to do it all over again tomorrow because this will wash away with the snow/ice melting.

Yep,the snow is on the way! I just watched the weather and we're supposed ta get between 10 and 16 inches. If so, it'll be the biggest snow here in a long time. My buddy's got a wrecker and a really nice rollback. He'll probably call on me to take the wrecker out and run that for him. People forget how ta drive when it snows.

I am glad we are finally spreading the wealth

:nice:Snow in NC!!!! Have fun guys.

heck we get more than you think here in NC but you northerners can't drive in our winter weather as you can up there, we get a thing call ICE / FREEZING RAIN. which we are getting now on top of our 8 inches of snow here. this is our second heavy snow this yr. it's tough when it's raining on top of snow and it's 18* outside.

heck my dad used one of my rider Gravely's at his house and the front dirt/snow blade already he has a nice clean drive, i'm waiting till tomorrow to use the rider Gravely here at my house to clean my drives.

Yeah. We never get ice or freezing rain up here. :haha:

It's 3:30 pm and I just got back in from lastnite. It was a long cold wet nite. I'm tired and I probably will have to go out tonite at 11pm and spread salt after all the places close.

I think I'm gonna go catch some sleep, I thought I'd let you boys know when I got back in I know you were worried about me!!! :you:
(Yea right)

And ya'll thought us landscapers had it made, we have to go out and work even when the mail wont or can't go.

We put out 3,000lbs of salt, 125 gallons of liquid ice and ran the tractors pushing snow since 7:00pm lastnite.

nite boys

And to think, I have the windows open right now as it's only about 68-70 outside.

BITE ME THERM, WARM WEATHER :nice:

and to think it's 13* here currently and calling for 7* tonight as a low.
