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

[CurSedVoyce]

Might look at those fat bike tires they make now and see if you can glue it on or something.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Orrrrrr maybe stretch a rubber splitter tire or wagon tire

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Today, the ground was covered by a lot of rotten apples. OK at first in the morning when all was frozen, but by noon, talk about a slippery mess!

 

[MasterBlaster]

At least it won't attract the wasps!

 

[FireFighterZero]

10 below right now.

30 below wind chill.

 

[MasterBlaster]

No raccoon hunting tonight?

 

[FireFighterZero]

Aired up the tires on my pickup after lunch.

Hands started to hurt right away.

They canceled the EMT class.


No, no unnecessary outside time.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I need to move up there... it sounds great!!!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Its brisk!


But you know....its a dry 30 below....

 

[Stumpshot]

Hovered around freezing today, cold wind cutting through. But not cold enough to freeze the ground, so everything is marshy / muddy. Got stuck after dumping, got out on some shoveled wood chips + the usual snow techniques.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Jim, what do you do for cattle watering?

 

[FireFighterZero]

Generally we just use water tanks with overflows. Pump runs all the time. Our cows are using a tank like that.


Our bulls right now are eating some snow and watering out of springs.

Up until today our calves and bred heifers were watering out of a spring too. We brought them home and put them in a time out.


The cattle maintain a drinking hole in the ice around those springs.

In years past you would chop ice at a reservoir. Cattle would water once a day.

Out pits are poisoned now so we dont mess with them.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Just happy we don't get that cold.
Some shoveling tomorrow though

 

[squisher]

F-cking ridiculous. That's what the weathers like here!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Light snow last night.


About 10 below now.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's gonna be in the 70's today...

 

[CurSedVoyce]

20s here. Winter wonderland. Digging her car out this morning fun. Scraping ice.... late school starts...

 

[Fiddler]

Ice, power outages, then all melted...I'm getting confused...

 

[Stumpshot]

High of 22˚F here today, light freezing rain coating everything. The private lake where we are working has a nice, fresh sealed blacktop road, very little traveled. No plow trucks or salting going on for the first half of the day, so it was slicker than snot coming in. Chip truck fishtailed, but made it in. 4x4 pickup barely made it, slipped off the road toward the grass 3x before making it in. Main roads are fine after being salted & sanded.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Got to 8 below F.

Light snow.

 

[Burnham]

Milder now, got up to just below freezing, now back down to 26 F. or so. Only supposed to be a few degrees colder tonight...but the next full week is forecast for snow every day/night. Not heavy, but constant.

We finally have some winter. I sure hope the snow pack up high builds to something close to normal this year.

 

[flushcut]

Freezing rain! Had a bout of freezing rain a day ago and an inch of ice on the driveway. Not good.

 

[squisher]

That is something we don't ever really see here. And certainly not an inch worth. Small things to be thankful for as it's -20c again this morning.

 

[FireFighterZero]

-40F this morning.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Don't let that stop you from your morning jog!!!
