Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Laid in extra firewood. Fueled up the 4 wheeler and snow thrower. Sprayed slippery stuff on the sat dish and plow blade. Have sufficient liquor. They’re saying maybe 15” of white stuff this week. Probably won’t see the sun till Thursday. What a difference a day makes.

Rip Snorter Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Got 5" here, s/b about all, but a few days of pretty cold to go with. Heaven knows, we can use the moisture. Got to have the essentials on hand!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Duce Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Our snow just about melted and we're getting a storm in Colorado tonight and through Wednesday apparently. I think I'm over the snow now. Especially with so many idiots that don't know how to drive in it packed around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 About twelve below zero last night, light snow, and wind. It was so blindingly white out this morning, I had a time picking out my road. Fortunately, after 48 years up here, I know where it's at... mostly - I've driven off it in similar featureless conditions a couple times in the past.

This side of the state lots of good reflective markers, even on paved county roads and the new rumble strips in the center. Do you have those out west? We'll be getting -16° tonight so it's coming this way fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first mile isn't bad, just stay fifteen feet from the fence and you'll stay on the road, but there's nothing to guide you the rest of the way.

Mine isn't quite that long, around half a mile, but several years ago I started putting in reflective fiberglass stakes to guide my truck and the UTV plow. Cheap and work great. You can find them online.. You have to get them in before the frost or drive a hole for each post with a spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye is younger, smarter and better lookin' than me, and instead of taking a walk in the park, I had my Jeep E-checked, hobbled into the BMV in a walking boot and on a cane, renewed my Jeep plates and almost fell over backwards when I stood up. Of course everyone was looking at me as I recovered from the near-fall, so I whipped off my ballcap, frowned at it and said "Now that's the trouble, my hat was off center! No wonder I was off balance!" Saved it with a laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then nice sun. But it won’t warm up till Sunday. Time for more Tylenol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
