    Midland MI snow

    Not a snowmobile pic, but snow related. I spent the afternoon on Sunday cleaning up from the weekend snowfall and took a short periscope video of me doing it. https://www.pscp.tv/w/bVIY5zQ2MzQ1OTN8MXZPeHdBbmdsUVdHQmVrPku4l70bgiLEZNRbAgGKBJCYdx5JrRiatRMyYf3e

    Forecasts are syncing up

    I came in here today all ready to say how someone was going to be wrong by tomorrow night. Since Monday, John's forecast has been promising 4-8" of snow in mid-Michigan. Meanwhile other sites were saying up to 1". They couldn't both be right could they? But it seems that the other guys have...

    Which Snowblower?

    I thought you all were serious about snow? All those walk behinds are child's play. ;) I picked this up for my new tractor a couple of weeks ago. 2008 Craftsman 42" clearing width. Would you believe the original owner only used it six times? Darn thing doesn't even look scratched anywhere! I...

    One can only hope this forecast is accurate

    As someone who is starting out a residential snow removal service, I say let this come true! One highlight from the article: "“Snowfall is predicted to be above normal from Minnesota and Iowa into Michigan, Ohio and parts of West Virginia and Kentucky,” AccuWeather said. “Above-normal snowfall...

    Should John Dee get malpractice insurance?:)

    I was just wondering that because of the following article: http://www.bnd.com/breaking_news/story/1057292.html Quick synopsis: two flight attendants are suing the National Weather Service after being injured in "unexpected turbulence" Now, assuming this doesn't get laughed out of court, does...
