My father in law who lived in Alaska for some years tells me there is sometimes a sound too when the northern lights are visible.

First time ever seeing a 084 Arctic.

Then another 84 rebuild, broken crank, seems common on the early ones.

Getting ready for the busy season...the northeast is vicious cycle in this business. We run long days but our season is short, after spending 2 weeks in the Carolina's I envy the bit more laid back pace. We have 7-8 months to do 12 months work

You guys who aren't used to the snow may not realize it,but thats actually a whole lotta water sitting there and it can create a lot of havoc if it fast melts.
Streams and rivers can become quite exciting.

Your right, I hadn’t thought of that. We are gonna get 2 more days of sunshine then more snow it looks like.

Where I live in Kentucky we get snow like that about once a decade. I live out in the country in the hills so people are pretty accustomed to driving in slick or rough conditions even though we don't get that much snow. Now in the cities where people aren't used to snow the roads can become parking lots. The worst ones are those who think that because they drive an SUV they can just drive in their normal crazy way. During the big snow of '21, I drove my 2wd Ford Ranger past many of them in ditches. It's all about the technique!

That’s what I keep trying to explain to these telecom & utilities trucks that are getting themselves stuck. They just mash the throttle and go hard with the tires spinning like crazy & then wonder why they end up In The ditch!! And with the other thing, we have a odd mixture of residents. There are quite a few of the more capable country ppl around here that know what they are doin. However there is also alotta people been moving up from the coastal city’s and they are completely clueless!!!

Think motorized snowboard...
It's a big track underneath. Goes about 20mph.

Flowering Quince.
Beautiful when in full bloom.
This is a largish one, about 6' or taller.
It's not in full bloom as of yet, but its started blooming some.

Dude, I know exactly what those are! My grandma had a patch of them in her yard. They grew hard little apple type fruits that she told us was the apple that Eve took a bite of. There was a dirt depression in the middle of it where her dogs used to waller. This formed a little playhouse for me and my sister.
