On a guy's truck when he moved down here from Chicago......he used it to spread sand around his yard... Some of the DOT trucks have blade on front and spreader on back...
I heard today that we are on track to have the driest January since records were started. We have only gotten less than an inch of snow. We had 8 inches in December, but that all melted. Not much snow in the forecast either. My snow blower has only been used once this winter.
So far since last fall we have had around 1” of snow. We have big cracks in the ground from freeze drying, looks like late summer in a drought with all the cracks.
Heck we only have 3-4" on the ground here, and that's about as much as we've had on the ground at any one time this winter...and we are only 10 minutes south of the secondary snow belt, hour from the primary! They've obviously had more than us (as always) but still light this year so far...only place that got hammered was up by Ashtabula OH...they had like 65" there some weeks back!!
We've had a dusting, a snow and ice that ended up being around 3 inches, a 5ish inch snow, and another dusting. Im done with winter. At least it's warming up some.
Darn I wish I had seen this earlier! T.Jeff Veal and miz Carole should have made some snow angels for Christmas cards..
