[MarPar]

If we have another Winter like last year

I am moving North

Oh Wait

 

[SteveSS]

I'm going to have to shut the windows. Into the 40's tonight.

The first signs of cold weather

 

[Brandy]

About 300 geese flew over head last evening. This morning I heard and saw them as they lifted off down in the pasture and circled a few times till everyone was up and then headed South. It was a BIG group. 1000's at least..they typically sail overhead as I'm in the barn at 5.30 or so...I always shout up at them, See ya's in the spring, have a good flight!...some of them turn their heads and look down at me...

They’re thinking who’s that idiot yelling at us?? Lol.

Fired up the Furnace today , house was down to 56 degrees this morning in WI

Of course it wouldn’t fire

Every once in awhile , discovered many years ago , need to pull apart the igniter and the propane orfice for the ignition - Honeywell system - Man that hole is so damn tiny and as it sits all summer long , take the orfice tube out and a good blast later , glimmer of a hole

And now of course my inducer fan is making weird noises

Good news - 70 Degrees all weekend into next week

Bad news - 70 probably won’t last all winter long

Bad news - Superbee gets stuffed away probably on Friday

Weather in WI has been just incredible the last month or longer - Downright perfect honestly

Larding the earth with morning poop.

First bit of frost last night and only 36 degrees at 7:15 this morning in my truck. It could be worse I guess if I had taken everyones advice and moved to Florida I would under 5' of water, no electricity or staying in a hotel for an undetermined amount of time. I think I`ll sufffer thru another New England winter, I have a lot of Mopar projects to do anyway as long as I can afford to keep my garage heated I`ll be OK.

Been 40*s ish at early morning overnight of late
still 80* during the day
supposed to be 60* during the day & 60% chance of rain
tomorrow AM, it's starting early again this year

I hope it's not a brutal winter like our last few/3 winters/ snow
150%, then 210%, then 150% of average here,
snowed like a m-fer, for here
'them cloud seeding constantly', yep they do, do it here...

Powers to be (aka Govt.)
Attempting to/or overfilling up our reservoirs, for our "alleged draught"
PG&E power co. owns all the water rights up here too, coincidence, NOPE
unfortunately, more goes out to the ocean (what a freaken' waste)
instead of to our farmers/ranchers, agriculture that need it to feed the nation
& some 20%-30% of both, comes from here (you probably didn't even know)...
A lot more than is filling the lakes streams, goes directly out to sea...
(because some hellgrammites, some rare moth or alevins/fry (baby salmon) protecting BS)
& then the aftereffects, that **** goes down hill;
Flooding out low or bottomlands, all them 'poor folks' renters
&/or mudslides for the rich Elitist's folks on the coast & down south
it's a constant catastrophe/state of emergency, it seems...
all for the fed. funds

if not for mismanaging the forest already, (you may have noticed all the damn wildfires)
I have a noble thought, just clean the forest floors dumbasses
like logger used to do, they'd cut fire breaks & do slag burns,
let em' log & clean that crap up, idiots...
No thanks to them a--holes/DC & Sacramento...

Yes, it is weather related

Minus thirty three here the last two nights. Warmed up to a balmy minus twenty nine at lunch time. That’s without counting the pussy windchill.

 

[ckessel]

Out mushing the Huskies a couple of days ago. Blizzard conditions.

 

[Pops1967GTX]

cable is down in the area, and it just started to snow, with negative temperatures...... only have 4 slices of bread 10 rolls of toilet paper.

 

[RemCharger]

We've been swinging from -30f to +40f week over week

8-12 inches of snow expected here today.
Cable and power still on, and I'm down to 3 loaves of bread, 3 dozen eggs, 3 gallons of milk, and 76 rolls of toilet paper. And moved a cord of wood inside yesterday.
SNOWMAGEDDON!
Maybe time to head to the store!!




Meh, just another January day here.

 

[Sahara]

Minus thirty seven here this morning, even colder then predicted. That is effing cold.

 

[ROYSTOLL2]

That is why we moved to Texas but we are going to have 19 degree weather Tuesday. It is only for a week so I guess that is fine. Then it's back to the 60's.

-15 this morning / -38 wind chills

If we had snow on the ground in WI , might have been record setting lows

Was 46 above last Friday

Back into the 30s this upcoming weekend

Literally no snow in WI , all the snowmobiles literally from WI , IL , probably the whole Midwest have been heading to the UP of MI all winter - Crazy busy

Groomers are doing there best considering the traffic - But it can get ugly really fast
Up very early on the trails , back early in the afternoon - Only way

Love off trail , my wife does not

Two horrible winters of no snow in WI - Yamaha / Arctic Cat manufacturing hung it up this past year , Arctic Cat / Textron snowmobiling might bee next - Who knows

Hanging it up AGAIN ! Done for the second time - Old age doesn’t help

Expensive as hell for a sport that requires snow LOL NO SNOW

New snowmobiles are $15 - $25 K per sled - Two sleds , trailer , gear , oil , gas
Haven’t bought new in some years

Only saving grace , I am my own mechanic

Travel , I won’t snowmobile on weekends , stopped that many moons ago - Fridays and Saturdays are a joke

So all the vacation used , and of course it’s still crazy busy anywhere you go even during mid week

Nothing like the adrenaline rush of blasting down the trails at speeds approaching *** on the Crazy 8s

25 years

UTVs - Maybe

There ya go

WI Winter 2024/2025

Bring on Spring - Gotta get thru the April draft at work
