Kane County is forecast to receive about 2” of snow this afternoon, so when I get to work this morning they were in the process of staging all of the plows and getting them loaded with salt.

There were about a half dozen of them outside and already topped off with a load of salt and their engines running. A bucket loader was in the process of filling another one with salt. I loved the sound of all of those diesel engines grumbling at the same time, and the sweet smell of diesel exhaust in the air. I like this work environment.
