    The Roads

    I know it's been the winter from hell.But is it just me it seems early for the streets to start breaking up with pot holes.Yes there is a million frost heaves on the road as usual.And the plow have been on the roads way more than usual.We all have said once the salt and sand are gone or washed away.Thats when the car's come out looking at the condition's of the roads it may be longer than that.Is it just me over reacting ?

    I think that usually happens around the first of March. The frost heaves usually begin in mid_February and the plows start mangling them about now. I think the timing is about normal, but the frost heaves are worst this year so the mangle factor is correspondingly worse.

    Any locla trucking over frost heaves will destroy roads. Some roads will post limits but.... not gonna save much. Benn soooo cold, I'm sure frost line runs deep. I'm more concerned about spring run off.

    its becuase of the extreme winter we have had

    Today is the second day in about two months where its been above freezing, let alone 40 degree's...combine that with the snow pack, its going to take an extreme measure on road surfaces.

    Expect more of the same over the next ten days as the temps start to creep closer to 40's and the sun gains strength. It's a sign of hope gents

    I'm looking further out and hoping most all the bugs are very dead like ticks, May flies, and mosquitoes from the extreme cold.

    usually only affects the insects when it starts getting warmer so they start their spring lifecycle and then we get a good solid freeze for several days.
    The if the snowmelt results in flooding plus we have a typical wet spring, the mosquitos and ticks are going to be horrendous this year.

    In past years I've pulled the car out about now and have taken it out for a quick spin around my neighborhood. Haha.
    Not this year! I'll be lucky to have it out by April or May! Also, I Need some work done to it too before it gets going..... Oh well.
