it keeping me busy

[tvpierce]

Me too.

[BWinkel]

Not a bad start at all.

[Plow Dak]

Definately more than we are use to the past few years.
Could be a very good year..

[atgreene]

Certainly keeping us busy. Hope it continues!

[Mick]

Definately a good start to the season. Just wished it had started sooner. We've got nearly half our snow total for the year in two storms over the past four days.

Lots of calls from the snowblower crowdpayup .

So far I've tripled my customer base in the past week, not counting the calls for "one time plow".

[hbrady]

The farmers almanac said to expect heavier than normal snow fall earlier in the season. The 2nd part of winter would be normal to below normal.

Looks like they nailed it so far. I hate late winter / spring snow storms so I hope the whole thing is correct. Nothing like plowing 4" of slush on top of mud :headwall

Finished the last driveway this morning. On the way back out the narrow road one of the transplants from away ran the truck off the road. $250.00 for another A frame.

[hbrady]

Nice....

I thought all those folks from away left with the nice weather :shades

Good thing nothing worse happened. I suppose they were driving an SUV too??

-Henri

[atgreene]

Then again, it could be worse! (Not mine, btw. Just stopped to offer moral support.)

[atgreene]

Another.

[atgreene]

No, it was a full size van. They are always stuck when I go in this road. Needless to say, they won't be getting any help from us in the future. The even had the gall to drive off. Would love to pay them a visit with the Topkick and wing, but it certainly isn't worth it.

[hbrady]

One good thing is the fact guys like that make my wife look like a good driver :rolleyes: (did I say that?) ;)

Hey tvpierce, just noticed you were here ! Welcome to the real "Forum" ;)

I just used some of your material on the Jeep light question, hope it's OK :grinz

CYA round Southern Maine!

[atgreene]

How many Mainers do we have here?

[nben]

Aside from those that have posted above, I know of GeoffD, KRC, Twakem, and of course me. That's just off the top of my head so there may be more. That's 11? There were a few more that were on the other site that haven't seen the light yet........give them time!

[04F-250]

plowing! I plow in the capital area.

[nben]

Welcome aboard 04F-250. Fill in that location spot in your profile so we can do Maine proud!!

:usa

[atgreene]

I never was involved with "the other site", guess I missed the mass exodus!

[Mick]

Welcome, 04F-250. I see you've actually been registered for awhile. We're getting quite a Maine contingency.:cool:

[BWinkel]

Hello fellow Mainers.

[capnkel]

Glad to see a few guys from Maine here,a couple are not far from me,Saco area,this is my first year plowing and this place is great,sure am glad i bought the EZV plow,great site ,thanks guys.:D

[mainebob]

hello fellow mainers. 2 good stormes this year, but the rain after has been a problem. hoping for more snow but does not look like any this week.

[hbrady]

Yea, looks like a wet and brown Christmas for us :(

Oh well, more time to sit around, open gifts, drink beer and eat Turkey :D

Happy Holidays !

[04F-250]

Looks like next possible snow for Maine will be next W-T-FDAY.I would like to kick the snow god in the nutz for all the rain events after 2ft. of snow. I want to dig the snowmobiles out and ride.CMON SNOW

[capnkel]

What happened to all the snow,after a great start this is starting to look more like spring:headwall .
All us Maine guys should check in here,maybe its time for a Mainers meet.
There is one coming up on the 17th or 18th of January in Burlington Mass if anyone can make it.See the Mass plowers link under networking.:D

[BWinkel]

Roger Griswold says snow Sunday night into Monday. Let's hope!!

[capnkel]

That's what they're saying,several inches,lets hope,be great to get out and have fun for a while.plowing! plowing! :rockonn

[04F-250]

:burnout I am ready to go!!plowing!

[atgreene]

NECN is saying 5-8" up my way! It's gonna be slippery underfoot, with all this ice, it will make it miserable to push.

That's what I like; that's when I get called.

[atgreene]

Yea, these get to be used to their full potential.

[capnkel]

Looks like you're all ready to roll A.T. Thats a serious piece of equipment there with the wing on it.Sounds like we all get to have fun plowing tomorowplowing! :D
Mines all set to go also.

[atgreene]

It makes short work of driveways and roads. I just got the sander up and running on it last week, Thats another story for another time! I wish I had some sub work for it. Hopefully when we finally get buried I can sub it out pushing back driveways etc...

[hbrady]

Looks like another storm skips southern Maine :headwall

At least it's going to cool down a little later this week ( -10) :D

-Henri

[atgreene]

Hopefully it will stay cold enough so the lake catches, then we can do a little fishing!

[capnkel]

I wish i had a job like that,weathermen must be the only people that can be wrong so much ,and still have a job.What happened to the 4-7inches they were giving????Not so much as a flake fell here last night.:headwall :beatsme

[atgreene]

It's not like they actually have to be right, no one is holding them to it. They make a guess on the weather, then by the next day no one remembers what they said the previous day.

I can't believe how far off NECN was. They were still saying 5-8" for my area at 930pm, while WCSH and WGME had changed to say 1-4" at noon, 9 1/2 hours earlier! Its like they had made up their mind, and were sticking to it, even though it was painfully obvious they were way off base.

WPOR uses the weather channel based in Georgia, they were saying snow during the day, all day, and it wasn't snowing! At 8 am they were saying how it was going to snow during the day. Only problem was, it wasn't snowing! And yet they continued to say it would snow all day. Really been disappointed in their weather forcast. Anytime a local radio station uses a weatherman from Georgia, there's something wrong!

I noticed that too. I was in the shop doing some fabrication and kept looking out the window everytime it came on. Kind of makes you wonder........but funny just the same!

[atgreene]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. Does anyone else feel like inundating them with emails to use someone different?
