Not to steal the thread below but I got to thinking and wandering what is the worst winter storm anyone can remember? Back in the late 70 and early eighties we made "dikes" here when we plowed the roads. As soon as we plowed the first time the blowing snow would hit the plowed bank and fall into the road. There was a time we had 10 foot banks along the road on the flat land and no snow at all in the fields. Several places we graded the snow in the fields and used the field for the road. I am in south central Il. January of 1977 was the meanest blizzard I was ever in. The wind blew from every direction for three days and the 18 inches of snow we had on the ground changed locations many times during that storm. At one point the wind was so strong from the east you could lean backwards into it and not fall. Township had a cat 112 grader that has the fuel tank in the cab under the seat. Once the grader was warm the fuel never jelled as long as the side shields were on and it and grader was working. When it was parked idling we had to wrap the filters to keep them warm. That grader ran the whole month of January except to change oil in it. Thankfully we had CB radios and people listened to us and knew where we were working if we needed help. For some of the houses the never had a base unit all they had to do was listen to there TV as we would bleed over on some of the TVs, good old days. What fun it was doing the chores. Fuel oil heaters in the cattle tanks and some in the hog drinkers that the wind would blow out. Some folks mixed a little gasoline in the diesel to make them light easier, too much gasoline and it would blow up in your face.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
