Well had i not been ready like i always am we would have been buried up to our eye balls . But this year i was ready , i rebuilt my old junk Ariens St 7-24 with a new carb , new traction drive wheel , change oil greased , replaced the blower housing aired up the tires fix this fixed that even mixed up straight 90 octane gas with Satbil , never used that stuff before got it running adjusted the carb brought the RPM's up to the 3600 filled the tank test run it and it runs like a new one . What snow we have received a 95 year old woman and wore out broom could handle it and to day we have 48 degrees and SUN and warmer tomorrow .Just like when i did commercial plowing the weather guessers would call for this huge storm and i had a lot of lots drive ways to do i would start at 3 :00 Am and sometime still be at it at 3 Am the next day and still going keeping up with it So you would get the truck all ready and wake up at 2:30 and look out and ya had a dusting , the storm changed course . Butsometimes they would call for a dusting and we would get hammered and you were woke up by the city plow going past the house at 4 Am and the truck was not ready , the plow frozen to the ground the hyd. couplers froze solid wind blowing 50 MPH snowing so hard ya could not see the houses across the street and you now fighting with everything frozen and your behind . This is one year sofar i am glad that i am not plowing snow Talk about loosen your donkey with the cost of insurance the cost of repairs the cost of new worthless trucks and the replacement costs on a new snow plow . . And oh the cost of motion lotion to run them on . The old plow trucks had dual tanks and carried darn near fifty gallon and sometimes i would have to fill two three times in one plowing .
