winter weather , so freaking tired of it already !!

I bet that bee was at least 5K out the door at the dealership! it sounds okay considering bank rates at that time were 20%!

I'm not too far from Wayne maybe 30miles as the crow flies! I think were up to 15' total snowfall, lucky part if there is one, temps have been consistently cold since December and the snow that fell was powder,which is easier to move and less weight on roofs!
I think were going to get above freezing today currently 29 which will be the first time since christmas it seems! We havn't had snow for 4 days probably the longest stretch since dec. Was so nice out on friday thought I might leave it

out! one pic. of Bella on her way home when she had a training bra under the hood!

My Super Bee, he sold it to me in '79 for $3600 @ 10% interest over 3 years. Damn good deal seeing the bugger only paid $3200 for it in '69!

Apparently, he wanted to get back all the interest money he paid when he originally financed it.

Aren’t you a true Canadian? Get some hand warmers and position them correctly and you should be fine. Have to improvise! ( think outside the box) think of the poor souls that don’t have an opportunity to harvest their own syrup. All in jest.

LOL, "nice modern machinery". A $1500 dollar, 1998, plow truck and a 1976 Backhoe that decides when it wants to work...

Oh, and I forgot my 1965 Zetor tractor.. the blower is somewhere in the back 20...

At least it's machinery, tractor, old or not
not 'manual by shovel' or a walk behind blower,
you'd be worn out
or have a coronary
allegedly many people over 65/70 or Seniors (& out of shape, pick the age),
that live in snow areas/snow climates, snow countries
Have a much higher percentage of dying, (like 50% higher)
dealing with snow removal, with far less driveways/roads than that...

sorry
just a lil' dity/knowledge I picked up at the ER,
last time my dad was in there

another more personal deal
years ago (like 26) when he was in better shape he was like 62
he got trapped by his snow blower,
it was a gas powered walk behind, like 24" wide (better than a shovel) on rubber tracks,
clearing the driveway & in front of the carport I built him...
Some how I don't exactly know how,
he slipped & it pinned him to the 4' high snow bank, still running,
his legs under part of it...
I just so happened to be going up there, 120 miles from down in the valley
where I was living in Rancho Murieta & saw him, 1/2 froze & hypothermic...
I turned it off, gave him a good wool blanket, my dog sits on in the back seal of the truck
& a big jacket & I got him out, after some careful digging, Sierra Cement/Packed snow...
Then I drove him some 25 miles back down the hill to the ER in Sonora, he survived...
freaken' snow
