What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

[CurSedVoyce]

Yeah, the gale force winds was the deal breaker LOL

 

[FireFighterZero]

Glad your getting some moisture Stephen, probably too little too late, but I guess anything helps.

I watched my dad stand in the doorway and get teared up twice, once was from a total crop failure from drought and grasshoppers, and then when the drought broke.

I remember seeing nearly the same thing Jim. We had a freak late freeze when I was a boy and lost everything. I'll never forget the look on Daddy's face the next morning as we looked over fields. He was a tough guy, a farmer and an iron worker, but his face was as wilted as the ruined crops that day.

Jim, it wasn't too many years ago that we were having a really bad summer. Not a lot of feed, no money, but had a nice crop of hay coming in. Just about the time we were going to cut the hay those f*****g hoppers came and ate it. Things didn't get any better that year.

 

[Reddog]

middle 30's with 38 mph gusts today.

 

[Steve Mack]

Low 30'sC today, no wind.

Down a bit on the last few days, but we had a big storm last night and more rain than we've had all year I reckon. Sauna weather today.

I prefer that to mid 30'sF though, at least I know it's going to cool down.

 

[Fiddler]

Dark here. Supposed to get some scattered light later this am.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Haha. I think the cold snap is over. I can heard the soon dropping off the trees into the skylight and roof vents. Ohhh, wait... That's not sun drops.

 

[squisher]

We've been in a deep freeze here for awhile. Not bad but chilly. -8 or so for a high and down to about -15 overnight. Celsius.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

still raining. We needed it so bad. But I need to work soon.....

 

[MasterBlaster]

I remember it raining for three solid weeks once. We thought we'd never get back to work!!!

There were a couple of insecticides available in the early days. Dealdrin and Feradan. Probably not spelled correctly. You could apply it with a plane or ground rig. The hoppers were so bad one summer that us kids could not go outside. The only thing left to eat was wood, and the hoppers would even eat cedar posts. There were no planes available so dad put it on with a spra-coupe. He would throw up for hours afterwards, that was with an activated carbon filter system and respirator. Hoppers suck. We have not had them bad for a long time.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Gonna get ugly.. It's already started. One of our neighbours already lost a tree and the winds are just getting started.
Emergency calls only the next couple days.

Furadan was made in Middleport NY, about 25 miles from me. I heard that everyone that worked on the line that made that crap was messed up. Sounds like the crap should not have been made.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Wow, yeah it was bad shit.

It sucks that people had to be exposed to that stuff.

 

[Cold Logging]

Not fully daylight yet. Sickle moon sliding sideways in the sky. It warmed up this morning. +22°f this morning. Makes for Slick highways. And I need to figure out what to wear to the woods today.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Friggen soggy now... PNWet weather.

 

[Paul B]

Mundane, on and off rainy, winter solstice approaches soon.

 

[gf beranek]

Nice day today.

 

[Paul B]

Still fairly mundane, planning a couple of overnight camp outs this weekend and next.

 

[Cobleskill]

Finally had a sunny day. Seems like weeks since we have seen any volume of sun. 40 and calm. Nice.
