Ravin R10 man Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Called local JD dealer and had them bring out a JD 850 dozer to rent. Put my brother in it to push snowbanks back on town roads here. Some roads are down to one lane, 8 foot high banks, with 30 mph winds t his is making quick work of them.

Tominator Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Predicting a mess here in Ohio Sunday into Monday. Weather.com says there's another storm right behind this one. I love snow, but I'm pretty tired of the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Guess where all this snow is going after it melts? Can you say flood like we had in 2011 again... All the water from up north comes right down here to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 YUP..we got a lot of water that is going somewhere...better hope warm weather is gradual....U.S. has the most snow covered area in recent history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 We had minimal white stuff this year. Got plenty of ice and freezing rain. Should be way ahead on rainfall this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the water from up north comes right down here to us. Funny you should say that. With all the snow we have, everyone is excited that when it melts maybe the Lake Ontario water levels will finally be back to normal. But I suspect that the Army Corps of Engineers will flush it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 if we get a warm spring rain, you flatlanders are in trouble. if i had a home along the mississippi now, it would have a for sale sign on it. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 been a couple busy days..dozer is loaded and gone..snow banks lost the battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 been a couple busy days..dozer is loaded and gone..snow banks lost the battle Just goes to show you you can't go hunting elephants with a BB gun. Nice call on the dozer. I'm with the rest hoping for a gradual melt down. I feel for the California residents facing massive mud slides threatening their homes except knowing this could happen is not unusual. I can't understand why anyone out there would build at the foot of a hill. This makes as much sense to me as building a nice home on a frozen lake knowing spring is coming. I don't live far from Ranger Clay. We have had our fair share of white stuff. Flooding could be a problem we haven't had to deal with in quite a few years. I'm hoping for some warm southwest winds to come along and evaporate the moisture. We don't need a sudden change and get heavy rains. I am high enough that I am safe but my snow will cause big trouble for those down below. Let's all hope our neighbors are safe and trouble free.

PotashRLS Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 In a way these are "man made disasters" like the term libs like to throw around. Man settled his nest in areas without the respect of what Mother Nature is capable of. A roll of the dice per say. When Ma Nature comes rollin into town, people are all surprised when she devastates the things in her path, be it mudslides, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, flood waters, wildland fires, etc. We will never know everything there is to know about the earth, especially if we can't apply common sense to the facts of history!!! "Global Warming" or "Climate Change" are not the appropriate terminology to use in these circumstances.......ignorance and complacency are!

Jeramie Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Im DONE with this weather... You guys have it way worse but we got about 3/8" of ice, followed by almost an inch of sleet, and then 3"'ish of snow on top of that yesterday. Roads are slick.... Every county in Oklahoma is under "Hazardous driving conditions." Im ready for the fescue to turn green and the fish to start biting. .

PotashRLS Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 It was -21 this morning. I don't know who is laughing harder, Mother Nature or Old Man Winter! The Easter Bunny already froze to death. We have only 3 near 30F days forecasted over the next 14 days. Records are being crushed all over the place.

gzilla45 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I had -24.2 this morning. I waved the white flag a week ago but I fear Mother Nature isn't paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 We ended up with bit of ice and then 2-3 inches of sleet. Gonna be up in the mid 40's this weekend. I'm ready for spring. I'm scared of flooding this year as I said in my post above. Nothing we can really do about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yup, there will be major flooding if this all goes fast, Northern Wis & Mich. have a pretty even 4 foot snow pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
