Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Well, a couple days ago it was very sunny and warm like spring and the grass has actually been growing. So I mowed it that day. Then comes yesterday, WOW!!! it went from spring weather one day to cold and snow the next day! WTF? This is what I like to call Global warming and El-Nenio in progress. So what I am sking is, any of you guys mowing yet because of this? I am probably going to mow again before March hits!

Here in wonderful Nova Scotia we have some weather like that, we'd joke about it when the snowblowers were rolling in and people were bring lawnmower along with them.  The weather isn't going to get any better either, just a whole lot more unpredictable!

It's been warmer than normal here lately, but as for mowing the lawn...they'd have to shovel it off first!

Good luck with trying to figure out what time of year it is.

Years ago weather was pradictable, now the world is changing the same way the generation in people is changing. Many say that we are due for a ice age. This is probably ture considering the weird weather changes that are going on. But I don't think the ice age will be in our lifetimes! But you made a good point! So far right now, I can not figure out whats going to happene next each day. I just wait and find out lol.

well personaly i would rather work on snowblowers .but drive lawntractors.

im a warm weather kind of guy.

im so small i dont keep in much heat.however miss snowshoveler got me some insulated pants for christmas .and i almost find 28 below zero tolerable thats celcius folks not sure what is in farenheit.but its darn cold whatever it is.

i started the truck the other morning and i thought a cat was in the fan for the noise it made.scarey

As long as your OPE is in ready mode, you will be good to go. Switching from mower to blower and vice versa will not be a problem. Of course just because I am saying this doesn't mean I am ready to cut grass here in NJ. Which reminds me.... time to call the local Husky guy to get the Swedish Rider serviced. Did it myself the first year we had it but now that the kids are older and wifey is busier, I don't have the time. The JD walk-behind though won't be a problem.

Sherri and Chris,

Do you live anywhere near Halifax? 

Walt

I live in Washington

I cut my yard mainly weeds right now and chop up the last of the leaves Saturday. It was nice sunny and a high of 69 deg's But my yard looks great now.

Wow Jodyand, you have it great.  But I'd miss the snow, and playing with my Ariens Sno-Thro.  I hope I at least get a foot of snow this winter.  Been 50 degrees here for the past three days. 

I don't know where Chris lives but, that was the same day that we got our spring weather. So it was the same for him and I. Hay that ironic. Chris and Chirs got spring on a Saturday in the middle of Winter lol. Oh I love it!
