Wharf I watched an in depth analysis on the weather the first week of January...Hope you get some rain....but it ain't likely...
Rain...We've had plenty...60* today so I took the opportunity to run the Kubota for a while...Just take it out for a good mid-winter stretch....and not freeze while doing so...I promptly got stuck as I was scooping up some super black, swamp side topsoil...It was in there good...The Dodge popped it right out without even messing up the grass...
Soapbox please....Brining/ salting, sanding the road for winter storms....The
salt and sand never were worth a rat's azz so that was OK....This new brine stuff...The little
salt lines sprayed down the street....Don't they know that stuff will make my sweet ride rust....WTFH???? Where I live is a transition area....40 miles one way I run into what will eventually be the Great Smokies...35 the other way and it's the Coastal Plain,,,flat/sandy/swampy....Compound the varying terrain with the fact I live near one of the World's oldest rivers...The Cape Fear...In a nutshell it can go from flat and sandy too hilly and rocky in a few feet...It never snows here...2 big snows back we were socked in for a few days...There is one creek bottom here with a 2 mile steep hill on both sides...Straight as an arrow both ways and perfect for sledding...Yeah I got a sled....We gently pack the hill with the 4X4s...usually the top of both hills has a large bonfire rolling...We sledded for a good long while there,,,up until two snows back...Last big snow I headed on over with the 4X4 and sled....We had over a foot of snow....Got to the hill and there was nothing but wet pavement....Brine...
The forecast has changed...I'm now in the 4~8+ area....Anticipation builds...Like I said it don't snow here much.....
