Stop in for a cup of coffee

-
morning boys and girls, got a little snow last nite but they say up to 40 today. Coffee was good this morning driving in.
 
It is slick here, first powdery snow, then heavy snow then rain then snow again. I am at altitude here and it gets really cold at night. The melt has nowhere to go since the ground is frozen. Took 6 tries to get my favorite car to the road yesterday we have a 30 degree incline at the top of the drive to the road. Need to get something to melt it all off, salt doesn't work to well because the water will refreeze at the bottom of it.

Good Morning,
Not bad here. Gonna get cold again, but things are pretty well cleared off.

Seems you just have a bad altitude...
 
Of course! I need to get another 20 yards of gravel in the spring. It is a little thin this year and that is part of the problem.
 
Morning Ice last night and very windy still today 20 temp right now but going lower all day. BRRRRRRRRRRRR. Coffee done and French toast in the pan. I have had some interest in the 78 dodge Monaco that i put on the ABO web site last night. Would be nice it gets sold. I need the room. Keep warm every one.
 
Yeah, I guess we get it about the same time as you. Hopefully this will be the last cold snap.
 
I am not really bitchin the winter has not been terrible like last year here but the Ice on the gravel is hard to get rid of. I wonder if I put in those 4" corrugated drain pipes under the gravel will help of will they just freeze up also?
 
I am on the fence with it, of course the only place water pools is at the bottom of the "hill" that goes to the road, right where you need traction. No other way to get to the road. It just has gotten bad this year. Story of my life lately.
 
You can plant this early out there? Can't plant anything here until April, Maybe.
No, we can not ether Mitch, But I can start seeds here in the house for my small garden :coffee2:
25 degrees here this morning :pale: 31 by noon with 20 MPH winds #-o

Might be time for asphalt.

I had a quote, way to much I can redo the house for the price! 12,000
Maybe some of the bagged asphalt with gravel over it in the low spot? I just is driving me nuts and there is not much I can do with it this winter.
 
Usually I drop a load of modified gravel on the drive and the last year I did not, See what happens when you cheap out!
 
On another note....Painted one of the wheel covers, Need to take a pic. Its like painting by numbers. I like it though.
 
Just so you know there Hops I have the same issue. I still have a couple inches of ice on the driveway. I don't have the slope you do though

Do you have what we call Cold mix ? When they start making it here mid to late spring I can have a load delivered here and spread it by hand with help of family or friends, not sure what the cost is now but it works great for pot holes (bird bath low spots) :coffee2: It's a dry mix that will pack in with a rented roller, you may have seen crews out patching pot holes using it.
