Just saw on the news they are telling people not to breathe hard if your outside. It’s so cold. They never told us that when I was a kid. And it seemed a lot colder then. And a lot more snow. People don’t have any common sense today. Put a scarf over your face. Haha

And do you have the heat on in the garage to dry her off ?
Caper

I don't have the heat on unless I'm out there working but it's well insulated and holds the heat. I leave the rubber in on mine. I'd probably take it out if I were trail riding, not generating much heat with how much I plow. Sometimes wish the blade was 72", like today, but it's a 66" and is actually perfect for the size of this machine. ;)

Glad I had this today and so was my neighbors I plowed out. The wind cut so bad between my house and the garage that I had giant drifts half way up the garage doors. I keep the truck with the plow in the garage so I opened up the door and pushed the drift right out of the way wala!

Snow doesn’t bother you!! That looks like something that would run on tracks

Thanks Trigger. I was just talking about the rubber with my wife and she said if we go out to take it out. Haha. With your winter gear on you probably wouldn’t feel any heat anyway. Haha. What do you have for heat in your garage. I burn about two cords of hardwood a year just for my garage. I’ll probably end up getting one. It would be great for most storms.

Haha. Very nice. My brother had a big Bronco new that he had a pole on and when it snowed that truck never stopped. I’d that just to outdo Trigger. Haha. Nice. Have you been watching Oak Island. Haha. Getting closer. Maybe. Haha

I use a kerosene salamander mostly but I have a little wood burner in there as well. Depends on how long I plan to be in there as to which one I use.

I like the kero torpedo, I have a 100+k and use winter diesel for my tractor and that, cheaper and runs better in cold. they had insulation but not done right so gone on the ceiling here and there but it will make it bare hands and sweatshirt from neg temps in about 15min. I use to work outside and when its crappy like this we would just put up a wind shelter and run the same heater mostly outside and was pretty warm even outside.

also had boss-Vs for work, 2500 trucks a lot of fun bashing the drifts. a lot of time the only way you can move the wet stuff. why I never bothered buying a plow for the quad I don't think it would be heavy enough to move all the snow. the 2500 with 4k lb plows have a hard time when we get couple feet of wet crap, happens a lot. use my tractor now for my drive, that does pretty decent if its over a ft use the 12h craftsman blower

I used a salamander when I first moved in but went to wood. My stove runs pretty much every day. Not over night. It’s my place to go when my wife is watching stuff I can’t stand. Haha. Bachelor. Can’t wait till spring.

Forecast of 0.5 inch, schools closed day before, nothing but a brief light rain. Grocery stores profit. Bet there are many guys drunk and eating egg sandwiches now.
