God, I hate this time of year...

I wish it would snow some more here.

I personally like it, something different than what I do 8 months of the year. But by the end of winter I will be wanting to mow. Do you offer snow removal as a service? What equipment do you have?

I don't see the advantage of a foot of snow and freezing temps.

I'd rather hibernate until spring.

This is where I have spent my whole life, Take the bad with the good. Summer will be here.

After I hibernate for a few months, you're right. It will. :tongue:

I went to cut a yard today the mower started right up pulled the pto knob and smoked the belt. Dang spindles were froze. Guess that means I have water in them. I hate winter

I would have to say that is one for the record for me. Never heard of frozen spindles in any state much less Georgia. Just goes to show a fellow to never say never.

First time for me. But it is only in the 20s. The news just said wind chill in the mourning of -30 with a whole inch of snow

All the bread is gone at walmart

That's my thoughts exactly :thumbsup: South Texas born and bred. Anything under 60F w/o sun is cold to me lol. I just wrapped my sister's water pipes. It's cold as **** out there :thumbdown:

I would say you have some serous bearing problems if they got that much water in them. I am going to say they sure must be lacking in grease. I have rode snowmobile in -20 and have to say I never had a bearing freeze but I have had the skin on my face freeze. Still got the scars from it.

My definition of cold is anything under 30F.
"Too damn cold" would be anything under 20F.
If it's subzero temps out there, someone else can do the plowing. Screw that crap.

If I could afford it, I wouldn't plow in the winter. Unfortunately, I have no choice.

Sometimes I wonder why I moved to Michigan...:confused2:

Might be because I cut wet grass and when it is raining. As you know spindles use sealed bearings and will let water and dust past them and into the housing. So really was not a bearing that was froze but maybe the shaft and or the bearing cover on the bottom where the blade is.

My bearings DO NOT lack grease. I just repacked them two weeks ago. I pop the seal off and repack them every 50 hours.

Used the mower today and all is fine no bearing noise at all.

I do more preventative maintenance then anyone you will ever meet. I have OCD when it comes to mower upkeep. But this is why my $1300 mowers last over 1000 hours

I dont care for winter but I just take it one season at a time, and I am glad when spring rolls around. Winter brings its whole set of challenges that make it ok I just like warm weather better these days.

I like winter, plowing, skiing, snowmobiles, it changes things up.

I like 4 seasons. Not just hot, hotter, and unbearable.

One stinkin day of above freezing temps between the 14 inches on the ground and the 5 more that fell the other night. Living in the frozen north definitely has it's drawbacks. OTOH, the beautiful summer weather more than makes up for it. Sometimes, we don't use our AC more than 3-4 times in a summer, and even if we do, we can generally open the windows back up at night.

I tried like hell to move to your beautiful state when I retired, for the weather, but the wife wasn't having any of that leaving the state stuff.

I ended up north even further.:ashamed:

I think I've seen it all after that last deleted post.

Yeah lets just say the members of this forum should thank me for deleting those comments so quickly! He was doing it with different accounts this afternoon after I kept banning him. :confused2:
