[AT] Pretty snowy, for southwestern Ohio

[pga2 at hot1.net]

Nice tractor, Will. I don't think it's all that ugly. More paint than rust.
:o) Even got a little snow on the "front porch".

Here in SE PA we got about 3" of snow this morning, then it started raining
around noon. Got home at 4 and started plowing with my ugly WD. First time I
used it since removing the calcium chloride. I think it was easier to
maneuver without the extra weight. Last year I had to do most of the
steering with the brakes. 

Not as nice as Dean's, surely not a xmas card, but here it is anyway, bottom
three were today.

Here in NW NJ, we got about 3" of heavy wet snow and then freezing rain on
top of that. It later turned to just plain rain, so I plowed my two mile
private lane with my F350 mason dump. After the rain stopped, I took the
Ford 860 with 7' rear blade out and cleaned things up and did a few
neighbors' drives. The temperature got up to 39°, but is supposed to go down
to 22° tonight. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the water will have
drained off the hills and not turn the whole lane into a bobsled run from
one end to the other.

The 860 got an electronic ignition last year, and now I can count on it
starting easily and running really well. That, and the canvas weather cab,
makes the work actually fun, for a change.
