Our kids are swimming in our blow up pool at like 60, people in Arizona are afraid to walk outside at that weather. ?

Quite comical, really.

That's a good idea Mike. I used to spray some silicone down my snowblower chute and it helped so hopefully this does too.
Yea I tried silicone in the past, it helped with the dry powdery snow but not much changed with the wet snow.

Oh my…. How will your survive those extreme temps?. Lol.

Zero, but we are having a cold front here. Highs are only going to be 63 and lows in the mid 30's for the next 3 days. I don't know if I'll survive these temps....Send blankets! ? ?

The only time we go up there is to cool off from the summer heat. lol After spending 51 years in the N'east I've had it with cold and snow. When I think back to the times we were in northern Maine at -20 snowmobiling I musta been crazy. :crazy:

Daughter works at the Bloomfield Hills School system at the Wing Lake Development Center so we get texts from the Schools Admin Dept....They shut down all the schools for today and likely tomorrow.... She lives in our condo in Troy but no word if Troy Gov't will shut down...

Best,
Phil

Best,
Phil

Well the rain has turned to freezing rain /ice here, temps down to 29 and ice is starting to stick. Drove over to my in laws to spread salt on there drive / walks. When I came to a stop by the mailbox the goofy sensor went off, so the graphene spray didn't help with ice, it was less than a 15 minute drive so I silenced the audible alert.
Salt make it easier to snow blow later. I'll see how the sensors do with the snow and graphene spray. Shame that those things don't have a built-in defroster!

Rain since this morning knocked down the amount of snow on the ground. Started snowing here about 30 minutes ago. Ground and truck covered with a cosmetic coating already. Schools closed, store shelves empty, garbage collection cancelled, warnings not to travel... Warning, warning!!! Not too early to panic!!! :eek:
Only the mailmen will be out to tomorrow...
And those with f'ing Ford Rangers. :sunglasses:

Well the graphene 303 spray inside the auger box and plastic chute made the snowblower work perfectly. No clogs. Snow was powdery except for the bottom inch that was wet. I sprayed it on 2 weeks ago and left it on, did not wipe it off

I nearly binned it today coming back from getting snowblower parts.
one intersection was not like the others and was very greasy.
I am assuming a good coating of slushy salty snow covered by fresh drifting snow.
ABS....works like a charm.

I hate winter.

I'm moving to Arizona. See you soon Dave.
:surprised:



Now I gotta find another place to live! :facepalm:

Adios AZ.....No forwarding address. ?

Hopefully it doesn't fall on me.
And that's not smoke, it's snow blowing over my roof.
