Default Winter 14/15 is starting
Looks like it's starting, this is our local forecast for Saturday
Sat Nov 1
38° Snow
31° Snow
Chance of snow:80% Wind:NW at 19 mph

Now who was it that stated talking about getting the plows and snow blowers ready a couple months ago? This is your fault.

Huh, didn't expect that! I'm not expecting any snow until December here. From what I've been reading, it's supposed to be an around average winter here. However, I hope this snow you're getting doesn't change anything.

Just remember the proper snow handling procedure:

1) Keep calm
2) Scotch
3) ...
4) Profit

Or something like that, I've worked 14 of the last 24 hours and had very little sleep in between so I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer right now

Looks like rain only here in the Triad, but the snow will be close. Can I get away with just 75# weights on the rear wheels and no chains for 2-3 inches of snow?

Blade or blower? Either is a definate yes, but if you have a big heavy blower hanging off the front, you'll want more weight on the back.

I have a 54" power angle Haban blade on the 2072 so that's what I'm going to be moving snow with(if any). Bring it on

That's it? 14 of 24? I usually work 18 at least in 24. The other day, in 36hrs, I only slept 1.5hrs. Suck it up, go get back in a tractor!

Really Sam? Snow in Galax? I'm glad it's not here!!! I'm not ready!
As if I ever am.........

Well, you see JON, Sam lives in VA., it takes a while for them to catch up to date. That weather forecast is probably from Feb. In VA, their not like us PA boys, who are up on things. Why, just the other day I upgraded to a new phone, went from a crank style to a rotary dial. Ain't modern technology grand. Sam, just couldn't resist.

Tough crowd, actually the forecast is from today. No concerns that I will need to do anything about it. Yesterday it was almost 80 and I was out on the Harley, also just closed the pool and now snow? Seriously the Mts. may get something out of this but I doubt I will get more than a dusting on the grass.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
