Funny weekend that just pasted. On Saturday I was mowing the lawn in a long sleeve shirt and Sunday I was blowing snow with insulated overalls!

I can relate Futz. Mowed the lawn one day and next day heavy wet snow. I just shoveled it about four inches of wet snow. The 446 with caster is ready to go but didn't seem worth the bother to get it out and figured I could use the exercise. :43: :peace: Harry

It's been kinda crazy here too... :cool:
The forecast on Saturday was very doom and gloom for the first snow storm of the year. :42: It was nice to have a little warning though, got the snow tires on the Tacoma and gathered another 5 bags of leaves off the back yard.

Woke up Sunday morning and I was a little underwhelmed, the only snow to be seen was on top of the truck...

It snowed on and off for the rest of Sunday and we got a little over 2" of heavy wet snow by the end of the day.

Walking through the neighbourhood on Monday and the scenery was different - a lot of the trees hadn't dropped their leaves before the snow storm - I think they gave up and just decided to let go of all the remaining leaves once they had a couple of inches of snow on them

The leaves are sticking to the wet snow and not blowing away like usual...

I felt sorry for this little tree though - seeing the circle of leaves around the trunk reminded me of Charlie Brown's Christmas tree - when it dropped all of it's needles... :))

We’ve had 2 snow falls in as many days down here. Missed a 3rd one today thankfully. This is the earliest we’ve had this much on the ground in a long time. I’m not enjoying it! Really making me think out headed south!

I am getting a lot of calls for snow blower repairs yesterday . We had a a lot wet snow day after day and then flash freeze . " The blower starts and drives but dies as soon as I engage the blower . I have to go pick 3 up bring them home and find room in the shop to thaw them out check and replace auger belts as needed while still working on the truck box . It is going to be a full house in the shop for a couple of days .
