    I would prefer to drive in it as opposed to be out there swinging a hammer in it!

    well i have several huge snowbanks in my yard right now, that i can open up a ski lodge...

    i got one that is now 8 feet tall, by 17 feet wide by 25 feet long...

    i got another that is 4 feet tall by 20 feet wide by 5 feet long

    i got yet another that is 6 feet tall by 20 feet wide by 7 feet long...

    chompi has been sent pics from my last storm...this new one, i am now trying to email him, but the email is messed up...in a few minutes, i will try to post them here....it takes time to to transfer....

    this is the first one i have described... the others aren't as clear as this one......but i think you get the idea...

    It is the only time that things get really exciting for me. Hey it's winter time, where is it the coldest? Let's go there. That is what my company likes to say to me.

    the northeast (New England) we get whacked big time from the ocean temps ands storms coming up from the south and the west, and sometimes from canada...actually we get the "arctic express" or "canandian express" for COLD temps...!!!

    I'am sick of it, came out of Ny yesterday on the way home to CT around noon figured i would beat the storm, wrong it came in 5 hours early. Then woke up this morning to what should have bin about 8 inches and guess what, the storm dropped 18 inches. Just got in from plowing all day long. Had enough allready.

    You should come drive for me in the winter. We haul water for ice road construction. We just came out of a week of -40 temps with a 25-30 mph wind pulling from a river (river water is colder than pond/lake water) and hauling 25 miles before spreading. Things tend to freeze up prematurely in those conditions and I guarantee you all the "excitement" you can handle:biggrin_2559:.
