That’s not good, watch out for white ice too!

Get ready..... cold and snow is headed your way!

You guys usually get our weather in a day or two. Snowing like a rock star here now. I'm waiting for the ice to melt on my windshield so I can go to work. This sucks.

Same story here, all the snow turned to water, and with the warm weather yesterday and Wednesday, my tractors are wet, tools too. The shop called us off today. Rained cats and dogs on my way home last night, and continues at this moment. Our road is a white, complete sheet of ice. Guess there is more ice and about 3-5" of snow to come. Already made my 40 hours, so I can live with the day off.

Seems like when I was a kid, the snow came around Thanksgiving, and stayed white on the ground until spring. Could not agree more about rather having cold temps.

We live with extremely high humidity here all year long. When it’s hot it’s HOT and when it’s cold (for us) it feels really COLD. I have a cold storage customer who runs their lifts in 0 to -10 every day and then charges them on an ambient dock that reaches high nineties most of the summer. People don’t realize that condensation happens internally to everything with a space and being all electric machines I work on, water and electricity together is such a good combination.

I feel for you guys up north. You can’t really do anything when it gets this cold but stay inside. I think I would go stir crazy without a heated area to tinker in.

Well.... calling for some snow tonight. I don't get too excited about getting the snow equipment ready to go because snow seems to come in spurts from year to year anymore. Don't need it every year. Plus I live in the country and drifting is more of an issue. Anyway.... considering getting the blower and cab mounted to the 1811 and taking it to town to clear. Can't decide if I want to go through all the work or not.

As I mentioned in my other post "Good and Bad" we've had an inch of freezing rain followed by several inches of snow. This morning it was -12. So cold the salt won't even touch the ice on the driveway. It just burns a little hole and sits at the bottom shivering.

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.
