2-5 inches beginning tonight.........

[highlander316]

just got in, roughly 2inches out there, lots of sleet on top of it. Out since 6PM, ran most of the route, skipped a few resi's once it started POURING like crazy. Here's a good on though: we plow a small neighborhood, basic cul-de-sac. Maybe 14 houses? Anyways, its new, only two houses built. Both were model homes last time we went there. Go there tonight, one musta been sold. What's the dumbass who bought the house do? Takes out the plow markers from his front lawn . I'd like to see his face tomorrow morning lol. :laughing:

We got about 3-4 yesterday. I was out from 9pm -1:30. Then my guys wento out at 2am and will be out untill about noon today. Nice snow, real light and very easy to push. Even better night to push, clean ski with a very bright moon! Wish i would have taken some pics.

only pics I got. ****ty night. Snow blowers wouldn't run, so we had to use backpacks to clean the sidewalks. After we finished the commercials it started raining like crazy, so we had to shovel everything else it was so heavy. Had about 2-3" depending on the area, decent amount of sleet. One of the few autozone's that we plow:

^^^^ I feel your pain with the blower. Brand new Toro, Just purchased it in Dec. guys tell me it keeps shutting down. Take it to the dealer and he tells me it help when you put oil in it. Guys had put straght gas in it. Burnt it up. New engine installed $420.

[highlander316]

^^^ouch. Why I like having 2stroke only equipment during snow storms. I'm the only one that goes to the gas station, so I know it gets mixed. Only one can to choose in the truck then when out working.

i have Whelen hide-a-ways in the lights. They worked ever since I put them in after the last event in December. I go to turn them on the other night, nothing. I could hear the box click once and that would be it. I didn't feel figuring it out in the dark and wet. Get in the truck yesterday, they work! Not a clue why. The only thing I did was take the fuse outta the box and put it back in after checking it.

I agree, I got sloppy. With five of these guys running around this prop. and four trucks moving snow it gets a a bit nuts........ I didn't monitor how they were getting mixed or filled. Took care of that, Yellow can for mixed gas and one guy that I trust to mix. If they screw it up now they don't need to be working for me and I have told them so!

i know what they are. do you put them down and furnish them on all residentials and do they stay in place or do you pull them up in the spring? do all the plowing guys do this? i'm serious too cause we just don't get snow here in hooterville.

Steve,
On one property we put down over 700 markers. And yes they come up in the spring. Most are plastic or fiberglass and if run over will pop back up.

[steve-o]
