Snowed In at Work, but that Didn't Stop Me!!

[RTR]

Had to go to work dispite the upcoming weather prediction, and at the rate it was coming down and the temps dropping they said to stay off the roads if at all possible. Had 5 miles to go, and decided to take something different home!

Too funny...

My folks once took Dad's tractor to the neighbor's place 2.5 miles away, during a terrible blizzard - because by gum, Mama was going out... "even if I have to figure out how to start the tractor by myself!!!!".

Man, she was one stubborn woman.

The incentive and will power to go home far out weigh the incentive to go to work.

Especially when you have 2 toddlers at home and a wife that wants you there more than work.

Must be in an area not used to much snow. That little bit of snow is an every day occurrence in the north. Might slow traffic from 70 to 65 mph...or not.

Once used my 445 long high crop pulling a Jon boat to evacuate one of my neighbors in a flash flood.it shore looked funny especially going thru water lapping at my feet

The LAST thing I would want to drive on the road in a snow storm is an open station tractor... I've driven anything from a full size Cadillac to 2WD pickup trucks, but my last two trucks have been 4x4s and I wouldn't be without it even if I only use it for a couple hours a year.

For sure not anywhere there's much traffic. It's just asking to get hit even with lights and flashers. Then in an area with no traffic, if you do get stuck, you're dead because nobody's coming along to rescue you.

That was my thought too, like you said, that MIGHT slow traffic down to 65 here too. You do what you got to do sometimes to accomplish you goals though. Nice looking tractor and hopefully you didn't get salt all over it.

i was expecting to see you plowing through snow drift 2 feet high. but a 4x4 truck would go through more snow than them little fords. you just got a dusting. lol.

I think RTR should have mentioned that he is in north Alabama..... That's a good bit of snow down here ..... Probably wasn't another vehicle on the roads

That makes sense. When I was in high school I once drove our Farmall M to a friend's house for pizza night. Dad was the street maintenance man in our town so he had the pickup at work and was out plowing snow with the Cat 12. The Impala wasn't going to go through 2 feet of snow. So I drove the M and enjoyed some pizza.

I’m confused about the chain of events. How did he (and/or the tractor) get to work so that he could drive something different on the way home?

I wondered that myself.

We get entertained when it is cold down south. It is in the 'single digits'. Oh no. Two weeks ago it was -50 here (central AB with wind chill) and it was not as bad as I had thought it was going to be. Fortunately, it did warm up with it being around freezing for the high the past couple days.
