Default N.E Ohio Weather Report

Yesterday, New Year's Day I was out on the 71 once clearing the drive and the widowed grandma next door. Today the Lake Erie Snow Machine is in effect!



The County plow truck came by around 6am this morning. Just now went by for the second time at 4:15pm ! The local schools were closed today. Getting all the snow I can imagine! I just got back in from the second go-around of pushing snow! Coming down pretty good, and has not let up!

The 1/4 inch wheel spacers { thanks CCSpecialites } make a nice difference! No tire chains rubbing on the inside fender wells! New 2-link tire chains are a dream, and fit like a new Wilson baseball mitt,.... nice and tight! With the spring assist up grade, lifting the plow is much easier. { thanks Mike! }......... The IH wheel weights { thanks WildBill }mounted inside allows me to keep all the weight where it belongs, on the rims. Much improved machine over last year's set up! The 71 fires right up in this very cold weather, about 18* at the moment.

There is no doubt I will be out for a third time today, as the snow is easier to handle when it is below 12 inches.
