Tweet

I grew up in Mn, I have been thru blizzards that were the snow was as high as the street name signs & -60 below winters, I had a blast growing up in it, now after 55 winters in Mn, we moved to Tn. Today we took down the rest of our Xmas lights, had to take a break to sit on the porch and have some ice tea, it was 68 and sunny all day, then at about 6:00pm we went back out and watched it rain & 57 degs. AHhhhhhhh! It was a Good move!

Boy, "68 and sunny all day",,,,,,,, I'd love that kind of weather for sure Pat.

Just as we are finally getting rid of the snow, the streets are all drivable again then it starts snowing again. Not a foot and a half like we had in Jan. but about 3 inches.

Told the wife I'll get the snow shovel out for her in the morning..... Don't think she appreciated that remark!

It's snowing here again. I was just feeling like I had been released from prison and it's snowing again.

-37 yesterday morning. My '95 Ram 318 started and died half a dozen times, then the EFI flooded it and she was done. Found that the block heater cord was burnt off! Here I'd been faithfully plugging it in all winter and the damned thing wasn't working. Good thing it's a 318, they usually start good in the cold. EFI either starts right up or you walk away from it. Gimme a carb for reliable starting in really cold weather!

Upstate NY - not very cold these past few days, but a 1/2" of fresh ice on everything this AM ~ 0400, when we had to take daughter #3 and grandchildren to the airport. You folks can keep the negative number temps F wherever you are Phew!!

Well, after unusually heavy snow the next phase is warmer temps and solid water becomes liquid water. Here are a couple pics of the Cedar River just down the hill from my place. The first pic is the upstream side of the bridge looking at the flow under an abandoned rail bridge. The second is the downstream side of the bridge and a few homes along the riverside.

Man that gives new meaning to water front property. Hope your high and dry there. The river behinde my house is up about 10" now. The hydro plants and DNR control the level here as there is a dam about 8 miles either way from me.
