Well FRiends guess what, some of you know I am in Wasilla, Alaska, some also know I drive a concrete mixer, as of this very moment about 12:40am I am looking at our local radar as their is a Winter Storm Warning in effect, the forecast is from 8-18 inches of snow starting in just a couple of hours, on top of the 6” yesterday, so far schools are not closing and above all things I got a call last night saying I have to make a special concrete delivery as well.
Thats right, I have to drive a concrete mixer in the middle of a freakin blizzard today, plus I have to get out of my recliner, don my winter clothes and run the snowblower down the 150’ of driveway so the missus can get to work.
Of course Alaska weathermen are notoriously wrong. But I thought I would share with you what I have to do here in Alaska which would absolutely shut down most people in the lower 48.

Why dontcha just put a plow blade on the front of her pickup, and that way she can make a little extra clearing parking lots during her lunch hour?

Sounds like you folks know how to deal with weather.
I used to b e a Civil engineer. Concrete is not going to gain much strength if poured in really cold weather. Do they have some super special secret additives up there?
Nobody much in TN pours concrete from Thanksgiving to Easter unless emergency road repair or hard liquidated damages in the building contract...it truly slows down by 90%
Asphalt batch plants close too...completely
How do y’all do it?
