Only One Week Till April But We have Heavy Snow!

We have heavy snow in the mid Atlantic today and 1 week from today will be April 1.

This is insane and needs to stop!

Sorry to hear it. I wouldn't be too stern with the powers that be, It's looking like they are angry already!

 Good point!

It's been years since I've seen that!   

I won't even mention how warm it is here today. Suffice it to say that I had to remove the cover from the air conditioner.

It's getting chilly and windy down here. About the right weather to put a gutted concert grand on the fire.   

we had snow off an on all day here in W Kentucky, but too warm to stick.

That really hurts, 75.

I was just thinking about that poor husk in the ad and that it might eke up a chuckle or two which would be all the thing is good for now. Spring is when things are brought out and sold off, so hopefully an unmolested example might step up.

The problem with your weather is obviously due to "Global Warming". Send some of that moisture to us in Arizona, I would even go for snow, it's pretty in limited amounts. We would love to see either. We have not turned on our central heating in a week now.

I was just gigging you, 75. I was gonna comment "that's cold." Pun intended.

The entire province is pretty much closed today. We've learned from the last time I guess.   

The biggest one this year is hitting us now. Upwards of 50 centimeters of snow, 120 kmh winds and storm surges along the coast are expected for the day and part of tomorrow.

The joke here is that most folks would call it a major blizzard, here we call it Wednesday. Since the middle of December, about 11 of the 14 Wednesdays have all been major storm days.    I gotta say though, that it's starting to get old.

I'm prepared here though, got enough food so I won't starve, lots of water in the well and numerous buckets filled in case power goes out and I need to flush a toilet. My furnace is an older style, single register gravity fed wood furnace. Since it uses no electricity, I won't freeze if the power goes out. 2 burner camp stove, a propane BBQ and a flat top wood stove in my workshop gives me lots to cook on too. Candles, kerosene lamps, and a couple of LED lanterns will keep me lit up when it gets dark as well and give me light to keep myself busy in a good book.

Sometimes I think that we all should go through a power failure or two every once in a while just to remind us of what we do have as well as how nice it feels when it's peaceful and quiet in the house because nothing electric is running in the background.

Well, it was a cold day here, but after hearing that report from the GWN, things seem a bit warmer. Not to mention having to shift and find places to hide all that snow!   

Last night we went down to 43F with a strong N wind of fourty mph.
Today, it's remained cold, and, very strong N winds. I'm under blankets. Not going anywhere.
I THINK I'M MOVING TO FLORIDA.

I guess you could move to the keys

Guess you missed the pun.... I live in Florida, but, it's been a cold winter here... Keys are way too expensive............

You guys don't want to hear from me, now do you?

We are under a dust storm warning here today. High pollution advisory due to blowing dust. People with respiratory challenges are being advised to stay inside. I can smell the dust in the air. You can write your name on the TV screen, after wiping it off, after about an hour. My wife is going nuts, having to live "in this horrible filth" until the dust is over. She will probably have me dusting the plantation shutters tomorrow, a job I detest. Then dust the ceiling fans, then the light fixtures, then the garage door, then........

It's nice to see there is something adding to your pleasure while we are out in the cold.   

The last time we had a dust storm, she made me put a coat of wax on the water heater. Some idiot installed it in the garage where she can see it every time she runs the car in.

Hey, 75, did you see my thread about a guy in Wisconsin wanting console stereos to make guitar amps out of? More firewood for you guys.

I hear you WC.......Dana washes everything just before it goes in the trash can. She's afraid some tiny odor might get out. I just buy odor blocking trash bags.

Dana can sense dust if we only get 2 microns of it!

We had a Culligan water softener installed.  In the garage, again.  She wants me to polish the copper pipes then clear coat them so they will not turn black.  We have the nicest looking water heater in the county, no doubt about that.  We had to pay extra for a car cover for the Buick that would not clash with the paint in the garage.  You guys think I'm pulling your leg, but I ain't.  $65 extra to get a mauve (move) car cover.  $2400 to eliminate water spots on a $400 shower door, half the time.  Women.    

I wouldn't take ten million dollars for her, nor would I give ten bucks to replace her.

Does she make you take Lysol and clean the trash cans before you roll them back behind the fence? HEY DANA!!! MEZ IS SLACKIN'

The trash cans have to be cleaned with Lysol and boiling water, then dried in the sun until hot!
