I know you all in the northeast are getting hammered. I live deep in the woods in NC. We are surrounded by big time trees and getting hammered with 45 MPH wind gusts. Stuff is coming down all over the place. On top of that I have a new small generator that is not ready for prime time. And not to mention I took some very strong new meds today that have knocked me down for the count. We got the stove stuffed and enough in the house to keep it going all night if we loose power. Right now it is 51 degrees with 16F in the morning. Lights are flickering.BTW Grandfather mountain in NC is gusting at 90 MPH.
Lannis, Keep warm and pretend it is the VA rally from a couple of years ago. Will look forward to your future posts.
Everyone survived?
Yep we did but right now in the midst of a snow, ice/sleet, freezing rain event. Later tonight is when the bad stuff hits. Warm air aloft comes in and starts raining. It could be not bad or it could knock out power everywhere. They still are not sure. Only maybe 5 total inches but freezing rain starts after midnight and goes on until morning. Those in VA have all snow and those in the Southern NC have all rain. We are stuck in the middle. Right now it is sleet and may it stay that way all night.
Jack London stories --Ever read "Burning Daylight"Available on Gutenberg e-books.It's got a few 'cold' situations in it.
How did it turn out for you, Harvey? Here it was all either snow or ice pellets, so none of it stuck to the trees, and we never lost power. I did go out about 11 PM and knock the stuff off the canopies we have over boats and wood piles, so they wouldn't collapse if we got much more. After I did that, the ice pellets rolled off and never built up again.Edit: I see the Duke Power outage map shows no outages around your house, so it looks like you're OK.
;D Days like today are why I never complain about the heat. I'd rather be "too hot", than have a half-dozen layers on and still be cold!
You have been here twice Jim. What do think the angle is on my driveway? 30 degrees???
Three times, I think. Once to pick up the distributor, once when I brought the carb intake boots, and once to investigate the heating oil situation. I must not be overly annoying if you underestimate my visits. 30° might be a bit on the high side. It may hit 20% or 30% in spots. The Internet tells me that 30% is about 17° ;D
I'm with you...screw the cold!! ;-T
If you try to screw the cold, you might freeze your didgeridoo.
No worries,Al Gore predicted that Global Warming by now would be in full effect. Be patient, soon you will be roasting. :popBill
I read a great science paper on the subject this week.Well they have identified why Boston and the N.E. is getting so much snow. The water temperature is much higher than normal which is warming the air. Very cold air does not produce massive snow falls. Cold air is dry and cannot hold much moisture. So all the warm ocean water makes for an increase in snow. So I am not taking about climate change now just the water temps off the coast of the N.E. This is not a political statement and has nothing to do with Al Gore. ;D ;D
