How Cold Is IT?

[digger]

It's gettin old now!

 

[dschwandt]

Yes! And you guys got a big chance of getting dumped on again it looks like!!
How much snow have you had up there so far this winter??

 

[digger]

As of yesterday, I've got 53" on the flat.

I saw this and thought of Charlie.

Charlie, Kraig-

Ya'll doin okay up/out there? The mid west storms are all over the news.

We're actually above the average temps here with it getting to 76* today. Our main concerns around here have been the rain (as Marty has mentioned). We get a couple of clear(ish) days then more rain. Right now we actually need the rain to clean the pollen off of everything so... When the wind blows you can see golden waves come off pine trees.

Wayne, very windy here in the Twin Cities area ~50mph gusts with plenty of fresh fallen and falling snow to blow around. Roads are slippery. Took me twice as long to make my 33 mile commute this morning. Not too bad considering, at least I made it... Not looking forward to the drive home though. Not sure if Charlie is actually in Minnesota at the moment.

 

[digger]

Nope, I am not!
Actually it's 78 with a lite ocean breeze blowing through what little hair I have left where I am.

Charlie,

We didn't get as much snow as they were forecasting but we certainly got the wind! My yard is littered with branches, bud sheaths and pine needles. Thankfully no big branches or trees were blown down.

 

[digger]

I blew away 13" this morning.

April 27th and they are talking 3-6" of snow on the Wisconsin-Illinois border. It was in the 70's this week.

OK, it's freakin OFFICIAL!
We set a record for the MOST consecutive days firing the wood boiler.
Normally I start it between the 1st and 5th of October.
But last year I fired it on September 11th 2018 and JUST TODAY let it burn down and shut it off!

261 freaking straight heating days! UNREAL!!!

You really have to be some kind of STUPID to live in a place like this!

Wow, Charlie!
Send some of that cool air my way.
We just had the most consecutive streak of 90 degree days in May since 1914.

 

[digger]

Marty,
I think it heading your way, it just dropped 24 degrees here in less than 20 minutes! WTH!!!!!!!!!!

 

[digger]

I may have shut down to soon.

 

[mgwin]

Charlie,

It is heading this way.
The forecast for us is, highs in the 80's, and lows in the 60's!

Life in the Northern extremes. It's a way of life to have to deal with a short "summer" and always have winter on our minds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqdVCmLFyk

 

[mgwin]

OK Charlie,
Quit hogging up all that cool air!
It is a balmy 100 here today!

 

[digger]

It won't be long now.
Last year I fired the stove Sept. 11th.

Better cinch up your britches, Charlie - looks like some stormy weather in your area this morning!
