There are a few notable days annually here. I pulled and stored my 9' snowplow (it will need a new coat of paint this summer) and refilled the K2500's gas tank. I also emptied the 1 ton of sand out of the bed........ Seems like a whole new truck!

So this Summer the rest of the truck panels will get new metal welded on and a coat of paint to be ready for next winter.

Hmmmm I hope my MPG gets better since it averaged 6 MPG all winter. I should get at least 12 now :facepalm:

Next notable day to come is the proverbial first cut of the lawn which should be right around 14 May

Dam..... I love Vermont!!

Re: Yippee I pulled the plow off

Well actually this time of the year ...... we still get the snow and surprise blizzard but.....it melts within 2-3 days. Even though I shed the snows on my vehicles ..... we can still deal with it since 2 of them are 4WD

Re: Yippee I pulled the plow off

Funny you should mention it, Bob, I am thinking of stowing my snowblower today. Usually my date for that is after April 17 because I remember one 17" storm on that date a long time ago, but I think I'll tempt fate! Dang, wish it would warm up though!

Re: Yippee I pulled the plow off

I thought about taking my driveway markers down last weekend, then chickened out. We usually get one deep, nasty, sloppy snowstorm in April, and I'll end up plowing up half of the lawn without them. Getting closer to nice weather though.

I finished snow blowing the drive way piles/berms last week to let them melt faster, and I am now effectivly snow freeeeeeee

in the yard except for the shaded areas and the back side of the shop roof.

(YUP, we got a skiff of snow last night but it is almost melted now.)

Actually, there's one coming this weekend. Thru Dakota, MN and then us. Last I heard they're only talking 1-3" for us. More in Dakota I guess. So I suppose we'll get a foot!

My plow was tucked away about a week ago. If we get some snow, people will just have to deal with it for a day or two. I'm done plowing.....

It's all my fault. About a week ago I scattered my V6 merc down to the reeds all over the back casting deck. It then warmed up to mid 60's and 70's. Yesterday the parts came. Tonight it'll snow.

The day the plow comes off can only be matched in happiness by the day the kids are potty trained.

Well my "kid" will be 36 this year and my two grand kids 3 & 4 are already trained

But yes.....pulling the plow and re-configuring for summer is a great feeling

So you're the one! :facepalm: Grass is nice and white and at times the snow is blowing sideways.... Need to turn the "heat" on in the garage and finish hooking up that compressor today....

10" of fresh snow this morning. Guess summer will have to wait a little longer.
