Friggen cool that’s awesome you and your dad cruising around in the storm ⛈️

Your daughter working too. Just good kids and good raising

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

You have to remember that us older folks grew up with very little salt use and tire chains. This kind of snow was a lot more frequent. We just lived with it. Stay warm. God bless.

I concur, I’m an older bloke.

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

And we had a coal furnace for heat. No electricity needed. We also could go to bed when it got dark and stay in bed with warm blankets until dawn and figure out how to live with only flashlights, windows letting light in and sometimes a Coleman lantern. Warm water on the gas stove and do a sponge bath. Old times. Old solutions. God bless! Thanks for your videos!

[@waymonhutto2274]

Ubering with Schmidt. Only operating in bad weather conditions. Back when I was trucking during the midwest winters the truck never shut down, and anti gel treatment was added at every fuel stop.

[@randyhome1544]

Sometimes we would change the fuel filter because it would freeze up.

[@sandyg9228]

It’s been a rough few weeks in Iowa weather wise the few weeks. Saw pictures on TV of 10-12 foot drifts on IA141 between Mapleton and Ute where the DOT had to use a snowblower to open the highway

I'm glad uber dad and uber mom were able to stay warm. Most of our snow is finally gone. We were up to about three feet a couple weeks ago... Troy's a good kid. It's really surprising to see someone his age working hard in those weather conditions. I know you are Kurt, but you should be really proud of him.

[@dalejensen5828]

Why are the stores closed? I grew up in Tomah WI in the 60's and your snow there is not bad at all. Wind chill is only what your skin feels. Actual temperature affecting trucks, etc. is the air temperature, not the wind chill.

These kinda snow storms are normal for Alberta Canada. Specially for the Calgary area. But We have had some snow but nothing like that your currently getting. Atm it’s melting for us lol. Last week we had minus -30 c or colder. Good video as always. Stay safe and warm for you and family. :)

You had more snow than we did last week in n c Kansas but the Same wind and temp. I am from Oklahoma so has been a long time since I saw this. I lived in Minnesota for a while so it is not like I haven’t ever lived with it but it has been 25 years. Poor Texans had snow all the way down to Laredo. Can you imagine their pain. Stay safe to all the Schmidt’s and blessings to you Good luck with First Class.

[@aaronpatterson2369]

My sister moved to Cleburne,TX from KC because she was sick of winter...its been 5 years and each winter Texas has gotten screwed! And she has the added frustatration of finding out Texas doesnt bury the utility/water lines deep enough to not freeze. That'll teach her to move!

[@Thee-AmateurAn94]

When I was in the army I drove the trucks that hauled around tanks and the order came down to shut down even though it was -50. Well I stayed up all night and started her up an shut her down in intervals. Made it seem like the column was taking turns heating their cabins but it was really just me. Staring up and shuttin down. No one bothered to leave their rig to find out what was going on (it was cold outside) Well morning came and guess what. Not one single driver got their truck started but mine. Command couldn’t even get mad at me because there was a amor crew that needed an emergency recovery and we were the only rig that could do it. Moral of the story never blindly follow orders, always question authority.

[@Thee-AmateurAn94]

The reverse happened during the summertime. We were ordered to start and shut down in intervals so as the trucks wouldn’t overheat from constant runtime. Well the maintenance platoon doesn’t the next month and a half or more replacing blown up fan clutches on trucks that followed the interval procedure. Turns out the fan clutches didn’t take kindly to being shocked by needing immediate engagement on start up because it was so hot out the thermostat commanded them to clutch on start up due to the extreme heat. It must’ve been millions of dollars in damage done to what were essentially brand new trucks at the time and guess who got the blame. The maintenance platoon for not warning of the obvious problems that could arise from constantly starting and stopping big diesel engines in extreme heat. As if it wasn’t an obvious risk.

Back in the day when CONSOLIDATED FREIGHTWAYS, yes that was the name back then, when they were building their own trucks (later becoming FREIGHTLINER) they ran the exhaust pipes through the fuel tanks to keep the fuel from jelling up in the cold. Not a bad idea that I have not seen reproduced in modern trucks. I had the exact same motor in my furnace go out at the first of the year. The new motor is on its way. Had to fire up my wood stove and get the house up to 80+ degrees. We are not at cold temps outside, we are hovering around 50’s, that’s plus 50degrees.

[@julielumsden5184]
