I don't understand the inventory process down here, but everyone has acres of gates!
Can there be that many farm gates in the US? Darn mind boggling!!!
I don't know if this still holds true but when I was growing up on the farm, truckers dead heading it back from down south with flat bed trailers would buy a load of gates on their way back north and then sell them to individual farmers or local coops. I remember my dad buying lots of gates from truckers that just showed up in our barnyard on a summer day. Truckers with grain or box trailers often picked up loads of melons to sell instead of dead heading. My sis and I had a vegetable stand by the highway and it was not unusual for me to be able to buy several hundred melons well below local wholesale.

I finally made it out after the big blizard. We got 35 inches. When I finally got to the top of my hill, which is a field, I found about 350 feet of a 4-5 foot drift across where the driveway was buried. Next winter I'm going to be at our beach place in southern North Carolina.

Ken, did you get the tractor unburied? Yes. It just took some digging after the snow finally quit. The snow was packed pretty solid under the frame and axles, and at the front and back of all four wheels. I'm figuring that the frame was packing and sledding over the snow when it just sunk.

Believe me -- it was floating around in my mind yesterday and today. But, my wife and I decided this is our last winter in the snow and cold. Next winter we are headed south.

Phil, gotta agree with trustin northern drivers on snow. I was near Nashville, Tn one time when it snowed and everybody simply freaked. During normal winters Atlanta usually gets a heavy dusting and it looks like a HUGE demo derby.
Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.

When the D/FW area get snow it generally shuts everything down. The problem is that it usually comes with ice and we have a lot of overpasses.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

It's just that they don't know how to deal with it because it's not a common occurrence. They did a good job in KY for what they were dealt, but the consensus, outside of some people with money was just to let it melt, and Carry On... Next day please

.... you might get a new truck out of this! Went to the Dodge service dept today to get some mechanical work done on my truck. Looked at the quote, turned around and walked over to new truck sales, signed my name. New truck should be here by Monday

The weather models are saying we might have a good snow storm coming through on Monday into Tuesday, it will depend on how it tracks over the Rockies on where the heavy snow will hit. Right now they are thinking anywhere between 5" to 20" of snow with 25-35 mph winds, gusts up to 50 mph. Next week could be fun.
