Snow!

Colin King · Feb 25, 2013

Our snowpack here in West Central Minn is getting pretty impressive.

Here's the 1940 9N under a pile of it.

Gary, keep sending it on over

Man i would say you got some snow. I think we get like a little over a foot avg. for year total. I have only got to use the 8N one time here to clear snow this year. Hang tough.

Cute ! All we gots is rain (thank Buddha). Nice today tho, blew like a banshee all nite, rained like a B****D this morning, now sunny like we all like it.

See there is another good reason I do not live up in MN any more. But that said the weather guessers are calling for rain turning to snow with 1-5 inches when all said and done

OK Colin;
'Just ask, and you shall receive', sending ya some more of the white stuff.
Just shoveled the front porch @ about 12:30 pm. Quit snowing about then, but....MORE in the forcast until the end of this week!!!!
The Snowmobile trailer side you see in the background, is about 2 1/2 ft. off the ground....so you can see what we have been getting for a while.
Taken about 15min's ago....:

If this keeps up, and I can finish up the five carbs, I am workin' on, by this week-end.....I'll be leading out another bunch to the mountains on the sleds!!!
Can't let them go up there by themselves, now, Can I?????? They might get lost!!!
The sacrifices I make!!! :wink:
ENJOY!!! :lol:

6-10 inches forecasted up here - Kearney MO

old · Feb 25, 2013

Ya we are now up to 6 inches here. So explain where Kearney is by way of Hwy. You know I am at hwy5 and hwy 54 give or take about 7 miles lol Just looked out the door and it is starting to turn white out but the thermometer says it is around 32 out. But that also depends on which one I look at.

Kearney is north of KC.

forgot to I35 North heading for Des Moines

old · Feb 25, 2013

Ok been to many years since I was able to drive much. Years ago as in 1995 I did the Booneville west thing on I70 a lot pulling mobile homes

Anonymous-0 · Feb 25, 2013

I hate that I70 route. When I go east I take 36 across MO into IL, then north to I80.

Ya know what you mean but when you have an over size load on your back sides the state say you drive here and there and when and when you can not drive there. Funny thing is many times they also route you places where you can not even drive due to narrow bridges or low over passes etc.

haha, Rick! Very good point!

Colin King · Feb 26, 2013

Yea, Gary, I think you still have us beat for total inches on the ground.

Make sure none of those lads get lost up in those mountains this weekend

Kearney, That is where we stayed during the Lathrop show. Were you on the committee for the Ford show? That was a great show grounds (except for the Hot weather)the wife and I had a great time. joe

At least you can still see the tractor. UP here I have a parts A/C WD that is completely buried under the snow, just a little bump showing. Over 200 inches this season with up to 5 feet on the ground in places.

Colin King · Feb 26, 2013

Holly buckets! I'm guessing you're either in the San Juans or the Sierras.

Upper Peninsula of Michigan along the shores of Lake Superior.

Colin King · Feb 26, 2013

I knew that the UP got a lot of snow, but I didn't know it was that much! Impressive.

Colin

chevytaHOE5674 · Feb 26, 2013

The western shore gets lots and lots of lake effect. Sometimes the lake effect will dump a foot on us near the lake and 50 miles inland it will be sunny.

Fed X and UPS will deliver to your door. Pretty neat eh? Something that light would cost hardly anything to ship. It would be a whole lot better than setting on a wet seat. I would think it would be worth it just to keep your distributer and wiring dry.

Colin King · Feb 26, 2013

Thank you. This 9N is actually another project. It doesn't currently run and is waiting its turn in the shop. I rescued it from a guy who was going to part it out. I hope to get to it next winter.

This is not ment for you but I can't believe how many people buy nice riding lawn mowers then procede to leave them sit out uncovered year round. It's commen to see seats messed up from the sun drying them out during the summer. My John Deere has over 1,000 hrs on it and it still looks like new. When I'm not using it it's in the shed.

Snow!
