winter

[Mountain trapper]

We got 3" of snow this morning. Temps are still only around freezing so not much ice to deal with. Which is good because trapping season starts tomorrow.

 

[user 7704]

We are expecting that much rain. I would much rather have snow.

 

[user 7704]

Then, there is that. Lol

Pierce Brosnan had the invisible car. That's pretty amazing. Lol

 

[lonewolf]

temperatures have gone up slightly, now all we've got is rain and plenty of it, well that is the normal weather in the south west.

 

[user 7704]

We have a large band of rain headed our way. I have to drive today too. I hate cold rain.

 

[user 7704]

We are under a code red tonight for storms, wind maybe even hail or tornado.

I put all of the outside furniture away so it wouldn't blow into pool.

Yes. Her father in law owns the local station. She and her husband did work with the homeless. My son's school which is based at her home church is doing a clothing drive in her honor.

They are asking for tarps and i have lots of Harbor Freight coupons for free tarps. I'm passin gn them out to parents so they can each get one. They are the smaller type, but maybe it will help.

We were all downstairs 12:30 ish because it was coming toward us. Somehow when fronts hit the lake, they seem to dissipate. Thank goodness. We had a few limbs down, but luckily the bees and chicken coops were okay.

Ah, winter....

That's what we call the few days here in FL where the weather is cold enough to wear a jacket.

Had to scrape frost this morning. Bah!

 

[brandx]

I just don't want a Winter with cold rain. I hate that.

I'd rather have snow than a cold rain with whipping wind. I hate that too.

Before I got sick, a roofing company gave me a metal roof for my smaller coop. I still don't have energy to put it on. I need to do it soon.

The company was very nice. Just gave it to me for free.

Good for you, free stuff.

 

[brandx]

Slushy rain coming tonight. Wonderful, not.

 

[Psalm7]

Will be a hard freez this weekend followed by below freezing overnight for couple days . So bugs , snakes , weeds should be history till next Spring .

Cold rain is the worst

We've been under a heavy blanket of wet cold fog for the past 4 days and nights (low clouds) Everything has been dripping moisture, can't see 25' in front of us, driving in it is hell'ish, fog lights don't work in this.

Kind of like it was when they filmed the original First Blood out there ?

A little dusting of snow this morning. Took the wife out on the trap line with me, her first time. Her 4 wheeler ran out of gas about 2 miles from the truck. Fortunetly it was all down hill so she could coast most of the way.

 

[user 7704]

Psalm what is the deal with the local tv stations running the scroll about a freeze tomorrow night? It's continuous.

They are treating it like a blizzard or something.

First hard freez of the year . Bring plants in or protect anything you dont want to freez . Test that antifreez in your vehicle .

forecast here is for heavy rain and high winds later this afternoon, south coast rail line is due to be shut at 3pm as it will coincide with high tide, rail line is right next to the sea and is vulnerable to flooding and damage.

Got up at 5 am this morning to break the ice on the pond for the cattle. Normally I drive the 4 wheeler out in a shallow area until the ice breaks. But today the ice was a little too thick so I had to jump on the ice until it broke. Then we drove 8 hours north to visit the kids and grandbabies. Got 3 inches of snow tonight so far. When we get home tomorrow night I'll use the Jeep to break the ice.

@Arcticdude I just give the ice tray a twist and the ice is ready for it's proper purpose, cooling my drinks. No white fluffy stuff or frozen water in my part of the world. Just wonderful beautiful sunshine. Drive safe.

 

[lonewolf]

wet again today, heavy rain big black clouds, probably set in for all the day.

After over twenty years, I'll get to spend the winter in a warm friend's house in Manchester and then my cousin's warm house in Scotland. Can't wait. I like a cold bedroom with a warm duvet and blankets on the bed, and rarely close the bedroom windows, but sitting in my living room to study, wrapped in a layers of thermals, a duvet, hat and fingerless gloves, is no fun!
