How do you get snow not to stick on your snow plow?
Q. I have a fisher snow plow for my F-250 and some of the pant has warn off. I was wondering if they make a product to stop the snow from sticking. I also bought it used and someone decided to paint it the same color with a spray can. Even with light snow it sticks to the plow, and that stinks because i plowing then i put my plow down to back drag and i have to back drag again because the snow comes off when i put it down. Thanks.

A. A quick fix would be to spray it with a teflon spray. Not silicon that wont work. City plows use a better paint ,call and ask them what they use.

Snow removal from a roof of a house, good or naughty?
Q. I am getting conflicting advise on removing snow from the roof of my house. Some have told me that the snow creates too much pressure for the roof and must be removed. This sounds reasonable because in Minnesota we can acumulate up to 3 feet of snow on the roofs over the winter. Others have told me that removing the snow also removes a layer of insulation that the snow creates by being there. This also sound plausible and I would hate to have to spend more dough heating this place cause its expensive!! What do you think leave it or start shoveling?
Asked by trey6z - Tue Dec 11 18:50:57 2007 - - 11 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Both I will try to explain. Snow up to a point is good for your heat bill as it does add a insulating factor but there can be a point where there is to much snow. How much is to much, pay attention to other peoples roofs that are around yours if some start taking snow done maybe its time for yo to do the same. Also the almost all roofs in MN have been built with a snow load factor in, to support the extra weight. If the snow gets to be more than 2' thick over the entire roof I would consider removing some of it. Hope this helps my fellow Minnesotan.

Who is responsible for snow removal at a rental property?
Q. I rent the second floor of a house. It is snowing today and I don't know if we, the 1st floor or the landlord is responsible for shoveling the snow. Anyone know?
Asked by ref322 - Sun Feb 12 15:13:35 2006 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It's best when things like this are spelled out in a lease. For many rentals, the first floor occupant -- the more desireable location -- is responsible for basic care of the grounds. This would be snow removal, lawn mowing and picking up small trash. This is more a custom than a law, and it really needs to be stated somewhere in order to be binding. If this is your landlord, then he may be held responsible by your municipality for providing you with safe access to the rented premises. You should really discuss it with him. Maybe he'll allow you a credit on your rent if you're willing take responsibility for this and relieve him of a problem. At the very least it should be discussed before any further action is considered.

How much snow do you usually need to get a school closing?
Q. I was wondering, how much snow or ice would a place need for it to get a school closing?
Asked by unknown - Fri Dec 14 07:29:04 2007 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments
A. it depends on where you live, how frequently it snows in the winter, and how well prepared your area is for dealing with/clearing out the snow. It'll also depend on the topography of your area (lots of steep mt roads, windy roads...etc). The more tricky the roads are when they're dry, the more likely to get at least a snow delay you'll be. I have relatives, for example, that live in Rochester NY ("famous" for lake-effect snow) and they've informed me in the past that they can only recall ONE snow day EVER during all their years of schooling (k-12). They get so much of it there that its no sweat to them.

A. Colors and style is about it. Some snowboarding jackets have a longer cut and fall closer to the knees to cover up the butt when snowboarders sit on the ground to buckle into their board. Aside from that, both a good quality snowboard jacket and a ski/snow jacket should be waterproof and breathable.

A. It sounds like it could be gray snow mold (Typhula blight). Snow mold will appear as the snow melts off your lawn. They are more prevalent on lawns that use excessive amounts of nitrogen fertilizers in fall (especially a fast release fertilizer), excessive shade, excess thatch build-up and debris on the lawn (leaves, straw, etc.). Snow mold will stop spreading when the lawn dries out and as temperatures increase (it is a cool season fungus). They may occur again next season unless you correct the cultural problems that have been listed above, especially the use of fast release nitrogen in fall. Next fall, reduce the amount of nitrogen you apply, lower your mowing height and clean up any debris on the lawn. Good luck.

What causes the difference between hail and snow?
Q. Hail and snow sound like they should be exactly the same: both frozen water. But why does snow fall in snowflakes and hail fall in lumps of ice?
Asked by Jessica - Tue Feb 3 11:49:03 2009 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Technically, hail forms when liquid water encounters a layer of air that is cold enough to allow it to freeze into a ball of ice. More water can then coat that initial stone, causing it to grow until it becomes too heavy for the updraft to hold it aloft, and it falls. Snow is not liquid water that froze. Snow is produced by a process known as sublimation, where water vapor goes directly over to a solid by crystallization. Thus they are the delicate structures we see as opposed to hailstones.

Can trucks handle heavy snow or icy roads without too much slipping like my small car?
Q. I'm guessing yes since trucks have bigger wheels and trucks are heavier that it can handle snow and icy roads much like SUVs or 4-wheel drives can. I drive a small sporty car that easily slips in wintry weather and I live in Maryland. Chicago winters are much harsher. I ask because I am planning of moving to Chicago to drive trucks. Yes Semi-trucks, ice trucks, as well as other types of vehicle considered a truck.

A. Well, the so-called "Top Contributor" is generalizing quite a bit. Trucks are not ALWAYS safer than cars. Most of time, probably, but not always. (And then have the nerve to say, "don't let anybody fool you". PLEASE. I'm sure he's never been a trucker. As for your question, on snow or ice, trucks have less stability. Weight doens't help a thing when you have an icy surface against rubber tires. Period. Now, in rain, trucks are much, much easier to handle than automobiles. Autos have little weight to them, and hydroplane much easier than heavy trucks. I've driven tractor-trailers for a long time, and I know this from experience.

A. Well, the so-called "Top Contributor" is generalizing quite a bit. Trucks are not ALWAYS safer than cars. Most of time, probably, but not always. (And then have the nerve to say, "don't let anybody fool you". PLEASE. I'm sure he's never been a trucker. As for your question, on snow or ice, trucks have less stability. Weight doens't help a thing when you have an icy surface against rubber tires. Period. Now, in rain, trucks are much, much easier to handle than automobiles. Autos have little weight to them, and hydroplane much easier than heavy trucks. I've driven tractor-trailers for a long time, and I know this from experience.
