^We're on the northern edge of that one. Looks like we'll be getting 4 to 6 today and tonight. Just enough to make it worth running the snowblower.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

It was 10 degrees this morning. That was 20 degrees warmer than yesterday morning.

Best way to get through a site meeting quickly: hold it in subzero temps. Everyone agrees on everything there just to get it over with.

I want to see this guy doing the Fo' Shizzle weather report. I know Fraz has seen this guy, probably MA too.


(I can't figure out how to embed YouTube stuff - help!)

Yesterday when I got home I had to turn the AC on. It is freaking January. I have been very happy with my tiny little electric bill- what the HELL is this? It was 80 upstairs! I'm not a fan of cold weather by any means, but this is just stupid! Argh....

GAAA!!!! It is dumping snow here again, and I am still not allowed to get a snowblower!!!

 

[cement]

man it was crazy yesterday, 0 degrees, snow/ice packed roads, 40-60 mph crosswinds, truckers chaining up in the live lane. and bonehead skiers weaving thru trying to get there for first chair. ldman:

More of it coming now, thanks for the warning FL!

I'll sell you one.

^^^I appreciate it. Maybe I can covince the wife that I need one so that when the baby comes, I'm not spending hours shoveling snow instead of spending quality time with my new child! :17: BTW Cement, the skiing should be pretty b*tchin' this weekend!

Supposed to get 6-10" here tonight.

And I have a snowblower.

Eat your heart out FLB.

I'll admit it's really just a luxury. Back in college when I live farther north and it snowed every day (lake effect from Lk. Superior) I found shovelling to be great exercise twice a day. Now I'm just lazy. Plus the snow here down south tends to be wet and heavy and a PITA much of the time.

Sunny today, but I did not get home till 9 last night (had my last birthing class). After eatign dinner, it was 9:30, and decided watching my TIVO'd 'Will the plane fly' episode was more important that shoveling (yes, I knew it would, but I wanted to see the process of how they gt there). Hopefully some of the snow melts off, but doesn't re-freeze b4 I get to it tonight!

No snow, just rain here....heard that Lake Martin has risen 3' since we have started to get a bit of rain. That is very good news, though we are still ~15' below full pond.

I WISH it would snow here. I have a full tank of oil-gas mix to use up in my snow blower.

..... and no, I will not siphon that stuff out. I don't care how many breath mints you'll give me.

Want to make a quick trip down to CO?

^^^^ I'm thinking about it.

It's warmer here, but not by much. -4 this morning, but I suppose compared to the -40 wind chill the other night, you'd take my balmy weather!

Oh man, I've been there before. Chipping away ice is no fun.

Kevo, do you use Sta-bil? I use it in all my power equipment and haven't had any trouble storing them with fuel in them over the off-season.

 

[kevo_55]

^^^ Yeah, I do.

My little bottle of oil to mix with gas has some sort of sta-bil in it. I'm thinking of putting the real stuff in it if I don't use it up though.
