Whats the thoughts based on the weather forecast?

 

I don't mind traveling in bad weather (it's obviously part of the job with my side hustle as a plow guy, after all). On the other hand, the reason we're going snow-bashing is to entertain our guest from the South who's got a lot less snow driving experience and may be less comfortable about the idea.

But, since I'm a 'maybe' due to my plowing obligations, my opinion is moot anyway.

 

Your opinion is not moot, it would be cool to meet the sarcastic person behind those posts. Meanwhile I have the wife reminding me about the bad weather on Sunday. However just over a year ago, I drove north of Bangor from Saco in the middle of a heavy snow storm for a cat. I am in still, just don’t want to make the drive and nobody show.

 

Oh and don’t forget to move those clocks forward the hour

 

The forecast does look like its getting worse. Might make the drive home that evening a bit interesting.. But my buddy and I will be there regardless. Hope @MartinDWhite will feel comfortable making the drive to/from Farmington, but if not thats fine too

What is our current head count at anyway? Id still like to meet at Harbor Freight in Bangor at 9am if that works for people. Hopefully gassed up and ready to go
@Spare Parts is in
@Noelie84 is a maybe
Assuming Martin is still in
@Scott17818 you still going?
@ME OFF Rd is out. Thinks putting his brand new bumper on will be more fun than this

 

Not sure what you're talking about...

 

I have to put it on because it looks so sad just sitting on the floor of the garage. There is a good chance I'm leaving work a little early today and getting that puppy mounted to the truck, I already put the winch onto the bumper this morning.

 

I'm still in.. got my truck ready.. hi lift jack is rebuilt, got a tow chain, straps, tow rope, hitch shackle...

bought a new shovel, and an axe.. just need to get some sort of meal/snacks along the way there.. cooler will be full of drinks.

just wondering if i should remove the 2-70lb, & 2 60lb tubes of sand.. probably at least the 2 60 pounders...

 

CBI? would love to check it out.. got my pro grille attached tonight, and rebuilt my hi lift jack..

 

so far as orono is concerned theyre talking 1-3 inches 10-20mph winds... and turning to rain near midnight.. worst case the ride is horrid, we turn back... no rush so no need to speed...

 

Drive up will be fine, ride home will be a bit slick.

 

I'm running one tube, only cuase im out of room in the bed today with other shit I'm transporting before tomorrow haha. Normally I would run 2 tubes, that with all the other weight should be good.

And like you said no rush tomorrow. It should be a good ride.

 

Thoughts on this ride being kid friendly? I want to try and get outside but not sure the kiddos would make it the entire time.

 

Fine with me. I'll try and watch my tongue..

 

Just saw this. Former resident of Jackman here, now transplanted to the southwest but still there in spirit...
