And when you really need to move some snow, use this.

I want one...

Lets see a single stage do ANYTHING with this!

I've done that and much more with a single stage small ass push toro for 15 years about. Shit was was hell. That's why I broke down and bought my big two stage self propelled Arians.

Get a plastic push shovel without the metal edge. The metal edge sucks, gets caught and at some point will bend. The plastic does a nicer job.

DOT here totally dropped the ball last week; lots of roads had serious ice for days. Sucked. No AWD on current vehicles - planning on getting a Pilot AWD later this year, though.

Is it true that Atlanta on has 4 road graters? That is what I heard.

The city has a total of 10 trucks (not sure how many are salters, gravelers, scrapers, etc.). Not sure how many the GA DOT has in the area for the surrounding areas. In any case, we're simply not equipped for the kind of event we had last week. There's no reason to - it doesn't happen enough to warrant buying all of the equipement and having it sit unused 99% of the time. Just have to deal with it when the time comes, is all.

Same here. FYI.... Farmer's Almanac predicted the Christmas Day snow, last week's event, and predicts a larger one in February.

Hell, with the winter that we've had so far in Toronto, we could probably lend you more trucks than there are in your whole State and not even notice.

That means people need to stay the fuck home when it's crazy weather and roads arent' getting cleared.

Pisses me off having to go risk my ass to save some stupid idiot that decided they needed to go shopping cause they were feeling cooped up in their nice warm house while it's -10 zero visability no travel advised, and the plows have been pulled!

Ok... rant over.

That's why the schools were closed, post office, most govt. administration, etc. They told everyone to stay the Hell home. Almost everyone heeded their advice. A big problem was the truckers on the Interstates that didn't want to listen and then got stuck and blocked the fucking highways with their vehicles.
