Last night we had a winter storm warning in ‘spring’ and we got about a foot of wet heavy snow. It’s also just my luck that I had a flat tire on my 4×4 when I got home last night.
The heavy snow did something to a main power source to the city so the entire city lost power. Woke up to no power and snow on the ground to put a spare tire on my 4×4. BUT, the tire that needed repair was right next to the curb i parked next to and the jack that came with the vehicle wouldn’t lift it high enough to clear the curb to pull the tire off.
I had to shovel my other truck out from the snow also against the curb to drive to work and grab a real 3ton jack and some jack stands, but when I got to the road that leads to the shop, I got stuck (lowered truck lol). I had to walk the rest of the way to the shop, put chains on the tractor tires and plow the road so I could drive the truck back for supplies. Chains fell of the first tire, cause they are shit. Plowed the rest at an angle cause the posi-traction doesn’t work very well, then the chains fell off the other tire, but by that time I was down to pushing slush around so it was all good.
Finally got home with soaked shoes/socks and numb knees and toes and made some coffee and the power is back on!
That’s my story of a shit day. What sucks is that tomorrow it’s supposed to be like 14 degrees so it’s all going to melt so fast!, damnit I had to get the tire off though.
Also, my boss got stuck, lol.
