Yep, it's been quite abnormal this winter. I actually used my snow blower once this far, and that was mostly to use the gas. It was only an inch or two.

I hate dealing with the crap, but it's a necessary thing here. Only 3 areas are within reach.... I happen to live in one of those. BUT, the GSL depends on snowpack, and farming depends on it too.



BTW, the two in the red are down by Matt.

That may of been elsewhere.

It snowed all day at Snowbasin Saturday
I am not worried about the lack of snowpack
Sunday it was sunny and cold, but great new snow
Another 17 inches at the top
Base got around 10 inches
I sure do not need the snow where I am in town
Save your rain water

Yes, that is accurate. As you know, there really aren't a lot of opportunities there to "set up shop".

Weird.... my Buddy up in Herriman told me he got 6 to 8 inches of snow on Saturday. I threw ice melt on what we got, and it handled the job.

I would bet in Tooele, we've had less than 6 inches all winter long.

It was Utah I guess, around a year ago... flood waters running down streets from the snow pack up in the mountains. Melted to quickly I expect.

We are probably under on snow for the year, we have had a little and it's been cold so it has stuck around.
But we have not had enough to really use the snowblower yet.
Next 10 days we are above freezing during the day.
Maybe we will get one of those heavy wet snows overnight.

Got Wagner brake shoes on the way along with a hardware kit and brake service kit as suggested by White. Hoping the drums themselves are still good, they should be...lol.

I think I have two new sets of drums out back. But I really need to flirt with a disk conversion.... maybe a 9.75 rear too.

I also ordered the TCC solenoid for the Explorer. I didn't realize at first that it's a 5 speed. I thought the 5 speed (5R55E) started in the 2002 Explorer.
