We’ve got 1 tractor with inoperable hydraulics.

The sxs is in the shop having the clutch repaired.
We will not dispatch the other tractor until the temperature rises/ the sxs is back in operation.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Tonight will be the coldest night of the season with subzero temperatures for most across the U.P. into Tuesday and wind chills down to between -20 and -45. Also due to this cold air, lake effect snow will be a fine and powdery type snow which is highly effective at reducing visibility. Expect frequent white out conditions in the northwest becoming west wind snow belts this evening through Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaTonight will be the coldest night of the season with subzero temperatures for most across the U.P. into Tuesday and wind chills down to between -20 and -45.
