2-4" of SNOW expected Saturday

[4Gas$]

Yup, time to get the snowblower out from behind the mowers and make sure its ready to go for the year.

Got mine out, tuned up & ready to go!

Same here...just remembered mine is trapped behind the rest of the junk in the shed. Would suck to have to drag all that crap out into the snow. LOL

Not gonna need it

I was out driving today and northern Oakland county and Lapeer county, I-69, they have all already been salt brined. Thought the roads looked wet-ish. Sure enough, salt brine. Took the scat pack on one too many rides, but who'd have thought they would have everything salted this afternoon. Salt residue on edges of tires, etc.

I guess it's time to pull the snowblower out of the shed and make sure that it runs. If not, Costco has a sweet looking dual stage that I'll have to go grab. If I come home with that we can pretty much guarantee that we have a mild winter.

It fired up on the 3rd pull and ran fine so it's ready to go. Bring it on! (No, not really.)

They brined the roads here in Farmington yesterday so they're prepping for it. Rexroth just said 2-3" for most of the metro area with less in the city and south.

Maybe you need a new weather report. All mine said snow and there is.

 

[dline]

Just a dusting here, not enough to even salt

Less than an inch here so far but still snowing. Wife said the roads in most towns on the way home from work were salted or brined.

Pieces of crap were salting/brine i75 near exit 81 and all up and down 24/Lapeer at 6am today. These people always look for any excuse to throw this crap on our roads. Oh and also just barely enough snow to call it snow is stuck to the grass.

Most of it was brined yesterday afternoon already.

These weather morons don't have a clue. First I read 2-4", then 1-3", then nothing, now there's supposed to be 4" coming again. I check 3 different sites regularly, too. I could do their job, no fucking problem. I'd likely be just as 'accurate,' too.

Edit - back to 1-2", here. 2-4" is now on Monday. Derp.

Many years ago I was looking for "low-stress jobs". Meteorologist was number one. It's the only job out there where you NEVER have to be right. People expect you to be wrong. As low stress as it gets.

That's because it ISN'T a real job. Haha.

I had enough to warrant firing up the tractor and pushing it, but probably only an inch. We'll see what today brings

 

[Mike83GLX]

Still not enough to get out the tractor/snowblower. Less than an inch on the ground here.

 

[jsxtreme]

GOt about 3" last night. It was enough to plow. Calling for another 4" tomorrow.
