98Z5V Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 It's perspective. It's cold AF, but there are colder places. It's highly "not normal". That's the perspective, in that region. Button up, brace yourselves. I used to do Cold. I live in the desert for a reason now, and it's because of that. That's "engine block heater" shiit, right there, for those that usually don't have engine block heaters installed. That sucks, and it's too late right now to install one.
shooterrex Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 Yep got the tractor plugged in so I can plow snow tomorrow and Sunday. Supposed to get a foot or so. Then turn colder. it's 12deg now.

And I’ll take -14 over your 115 bullshit. I can always put more cloths on legally I can only take so many off. I wore my Carhartt bibs all day long and jacket when outside it stops the wind well, long with wool compression socks and insulated boots it wasn’t terrible, the 17 hours kicked my ass tho
Madhouse Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 In my home town, the "feels like" temp today is -27. Here it's 30.

Wind Chill sucks! I didn't mind layering up, when I had some really good stuff to layer up with. But, in the heat, like you said - you run out of things to take off... In the summer, you don't do much outside during the middle of the day, and even the evenings suck. You're dead in the water, until the average daily temps drop. The only benefit is, you don't shovel heat...

shooterrex Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 12 deg now. Snowing little flakes. About 8in on the ground. Guess I'll plow the driveway today.
Magwa Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 All the east is freezing and buried in snow while out west here it is basically a early spring weather in the 30's and 50's next week WTF over!

BrianK Posted March 9 Author Report Posted March 9 San Diego??? Covered in snow? Gotta be global warming. What else could it be? (sarcasm) Or maybe DNP is no longer in SD? My 17 year old computer pooped itself so I've been down. Our weather, typical for March has been all over the place. We've been getting nuisance snow storms, then it'll warm up and melt. Yesterday was in the low 60s, today and tomorrow much the same. Then arctic air moves in and we'll be in the deep freeze. We can get anything in March. One year we got 2 blizzards in one week with over 30" of snow each time. But right now it feels like spring. Except it's a lie. Yesterday I did consider going to the range today. But I have repairs to make. There was ice on the deck, invisible ice called "Black ice". It was rainijg but I never saw it as it was a drop every few seconds and spread wayyy out. But enough for the black ice. I slipped but caught myself on the railing but now the railing needs to be fixed. Todays a good day to do that.
BrianK Posted March 10 Author Report Posted March 10 More false spring today. Temps expected to get near 70*F. It'a wayyyy too early for actual spring in Maine. It's a tease but spring is coming. Just not now. Pretty sure tomorrow we go back into the deep freeze. False spring will be over for now.
dpete Posted March 10 Report Posted March 10 90* predicted for today and 91* tomorrow here in central Florida. I'm down here trying to be a fishing bum but not wanting to endure that heat and get sunburned is putting a crimp on things. On the bright side the boat is running good.

Pics, brother - you know the deal... This is a good one, too...
Cunuckgaucho Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 (edited) Vancouver area got it's only snowfall of winter so far today... some places saw almost an inch of snow. Kinda weather related but BC has decided to do away with changing the clocks so last Sunday was it. Edited March 11 by Cunuckgaucho
BrianK Posted March 11 Author Report Posted March 11 Last I checked 36ish degrees and rain showers. I don't need to plow rain so that's good. The last few days really ate into the snowpack and that's good too. Gradual melting doesn't take out bridges and such but a warm rain does. Everwhere we walk the dog is clear of ice and snow and the t**ds that I didn't roll up with the snow plow are showing. Makes for tricky walking to dodge the mines.
shooterrex Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 73 and thunderstorms today. 40 for a high tomorrow.

Ok, here you go! 20260305_090842[1].mp4 This little fella was in the yard and an extremely rare American Cypress Bra Tree If you look closely, you may even see it is beginning to show its distinctive double cupped fruits. Along with a black cormorant at the bottom tip of the flag.

Rsquared Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 Thursday was crazy weather even for the DC area. Woke up to go to work around 0430, it was 71 degrees. By 1100 (ish), it was in the low 30's and snowing it's ass off. Then, by approximately 1700, the sun was out and was already melting any of the snow that had accumulated on the ground. A 40 degree swing in a 12 hour span is nuts. I blame all of the schmucks in the Capitol building just because.
