Working in the snow - W/pics

[cox]

Wat kinda conditions you guys work in i the area your in? I work outside year around, +40C to -40C. Last week i seen it dip to -48C :crazy:. We also have a large amount of snow. 4+ ft in some areas. Our yard truck cant barely go anywhere, even in 4 wheel drive, lol. Heres a couple cell phone pics. Oh and i work in a pipeyard.

There is pipe somewhere under that snow...

She is a pettibone super 15, awesome workhorse. Friggin thing is unstoppable. Pretty fun to drive, but complicated as hell for a while. We got a Super 20 rolling around the yard as well. Its a very large machine.

Anyone?

awsome pics but where are the loaders to move that snow?

inlaws said it had been quite cold lately in MT.

Wow decent pics from a cell phone Cox! We're definitely sick of the snow and sick of the cold. We finally got above -23C for a daytime high today; first time in two weeks. Hopefully some riding tomorrow if the sleds have packed down enough trails on the lake. I'll say one thing though....I'll take this over hurricanes and twisters.

The main roads we drive on are plowed, we still get stuck though. Those pics are after its plowed, lol. That bone is rated to lift 14000 i think. The super 20 can lift like 18. Pretty awesome. Its pretty cool lifting that much AND driving, LMAO.

Man I miss the snow in MI

It would be awesome to grab someones vehicle with that thing after they have pissed you off:twisted:

That reminds me of being in Alaska last year. Was lots of fun going outside and seeing the car look like a icicle.

They wouldnt let me crush my old camry. I wanted to spear it with the forks then flip it off into the scrap bin, lol. But they said no. To bad, i thought it woulda been a great youtube moment.

My current job doesn't require me to have to work outside much anymore. I did however work as a derrickman on a gas drilling rig for a few years throughout western NY. Nothing like like working 75' off the ground all winter... no matter what the temp.
Got to work outside most of today starting out at -5 F this morning. Got to crawl under my truck to change the starter that crapped out while plowing snow last night. It worked its way to about 7 F mid-day...

Is that well casing stacked up?

[cox]

yes sir. all sorts of casing and tubing. lotsa surface and drill. Seems like alot of 4 1/2" is coming from china now shipped over in sea cans. Both seemed and seemless.
