The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Ah, what is this "snow" thing you both are talking about? Is it kind of like a "fungus" that appears in the cooler months? I don't think we have anything like that here.

Yeah, that is what I'm wondering. Maybe they are just drinking their party eggnog early and are seeing things. A "WINTER WONDERLAND" sounds like a drink.

I LOVE to plow snow, its addicting!

So far this year there has been pretty decent snowfall, and it hasn't been to cold yet either.

Ok, now I KNOW there is something wrong with the air up there.

Maybe.........

Or maybe its the way the engine labors when the snow is curling off the top of the blade.

Or maybe it is the sound the snow makes as it scrapes along the bottom of the cab when things get deep.

Or maybe it the way you set up a "snow lane" for those long strait pushes to your pile.

Or maybe its the pride you take in your technique/ strategy to get snow cleared out of a tight area.

Or maybe its the sound of a strait piped 350 as it tachs out as you begin to loose speed.

Or maybe its the way the snow mists after a big push into the pile.

Or maybe its the challenge of seeing how high you can get your snow pile.

Maybe it is in the air, the cool, crisp clean air as it wisps throughout the cab when the windows are cracked open a bit.

Hmmm, good points...but I think your still crazy, just not as much as before. We only get snow for about 5 minutes a year.

It is just that 2 days of ice that is dangerous.

I think we get even less, but, would you believe, shortly after we moved into our current home, we had snow here on Easter! (We were out walking in the undeveloped space behind our home at the time.)

When I left Pennsylvania, back in '84, I left my snow shovel as a housewarming present to the new owners! Then, a flippin' snowstorm followed us all the way from the Philadelphia area to just south of Albuquerque! It was like a "We're gonna get'cha - you can run, but you can't hide". I'm happy to visit snow in the mountains now, but that's about it.
