[AT] And Now For Something Different - A Tractor Problem

[David Bruce]

On my side of NC we have a little more snow clearing equipment but the 
attitude is "wait 'til tomorrow" (and that usually is good as normally 
by then any snow/ice is off the roadways).  Now if we get the storm of 
the decade that doesn't work at all.  Usually when the roads are plowed 
they manage to pull up all the patches in the asphalt.
