Still fairly windy and the temperature dropped about 9C in less than two hours. Now freezing and light snow coming down, thankfully. Lost about 1/2 or less of my driveway base down to pavement and ice. I had about 3 to 4,inches of base at one point. But it good in a way. Less to melt at spring time. Frost will come out sooner and dry up quicker. I’ve seen some years frost heave is so bad I’d have to take my outside man door off because I couldn’t open it for the heave. I’ve seen 4 to 6 inches of heave some years. That part of the heave is out from the garage about two feet, gets less closer to the garage. Every year, right at the end of January, first of February that week or so it starts.

There’s a ramble on for today, but the days not over yet. Hehe.

Some snow here again. And the snow we got after the quick freeze on Friday took the slippiness off the ice, so walking on the ice was much better.
Did you get much snow Dave ?

@Propane57 Not much snow , but what did come created drifts and white outs . The wind was nuts , kept changing direction . You could not blow 10' without it changing direction.

A little clean snow up here today, foot deep fluffy snow, that was getting damp with the sun on it, then some places was no snow. About 1/2 hour to clean.

Tuesday rained all day , high +2 C . then fast freeze over night . Wed. All but main roads was skating rinks with a dust of snow to hide the ice . :cuss: Fell a couple of time going back and forth to the birds . No sand , it was overlooked when I was down and out in the fall . Spring can't come soon enough for me this year :violin: . We have not had it near as bad as some out there . But this winter feels to me to be longer than most.

Ya, it’s getting on the nerves all right as times goes along. Then it gets worst in March and April and maybe May, when your thinking spring. I just accept it in November thru to end of February. Then it starts getting on me nerves. Hehe. And the older I get, seems like the worse it gets, each year. :45:
Some snow last nite just to make things white. And some small amounts coming Friday and Sunday.
I use rock dust to put down on the ice so’s we don’t fall down. Some people call it pea gravel, I think. Great stuff to make a driveway out of.


There now, that’s my morning ramble. :wave:

It's supposed to start snowing tonight and continue through tomorrow. They are predicting possible eight to twelve inches. I've made another change to my caster chute, and it will give me a chance to try it out. I still need to mount my linear actuator for the deflector. I side mounted it like I see some have done but using it the deflector would bind up. I'm thinking I would have better luck with it mounted in the center. A project for another day since I've been concentrating on the 444 Winter project.

Keep the Peace
