The weather outside is frightful......

Shout out from chilly Western Oregon. We were hit with freezing rain this morning. The sheet of ice that is covering the roads is now being covered by snow. It is deceptively beautiful and slick as snot. How is your weather? What has global warming done for your area?

We will be doing the beef stew crockpot gig tomorrow. I just got back from working in Bend, OR. 2 feet of snow, temps in the single digits, and the snow kept falling. Absolutely beautiful, but it made my bones ache. ❄

Thank you (((Skadhi))) I'm still in shock, they were posting adorable photos of the baby over xmas and Amanda suddenly passed early New Year's day. She was just 25 and had started building a family with my friend's son. He's understandably crushed. I don't know her personally, but I know the baby's young father and his parents very well and my heart goes out to them. This blizzard is only going to make the day harder for them all :(
It's dumping rain here now, my big plan for the day is to watch a movie and stay warm.

2" yesterday morning, 6" more falling now, need to clear driveway tomorrow as the oil man is due early in the week. Cat got treed by neighbor's dogs just before yesterday's snowfall, was 60'+ up there meowing away but just got himself down & back in the house now, no worse for wear (4th time he's been treed so he should have it figured out by now).

23 some degrees here now, but sunny and breezy.
They say High 24, low 8 today & tonight. Tomorrow it's High 27 low 15. The single-digit and teen temps are where you have to be really careful about the pipe-freeze. Also vehicles and small-engine equipment experience many problems. I'm afraid to fire up my log-splitter, as the chill temps are what caused the hydraulic pump to seize back when.
What a chore to replace that sucker !!

The wind is blasting again
The wind is blasting again today!!!
On Christmas we had 90 MPH gusts with very high sustained winds. It blew one of my awning off and went out to fix it with the wife. When we come back in - my wife is in back of me and I thought she had the screen door and a very large gust of wind came at the second and blew the screen door out. Took out the screws. Took an hour to repair the screen door so it would close and had to put anchors in the wall to reattach the door. As soon as I finish we hear a loud crack in the back yard. Go to back window and a part of my fence came down. Took out about a third of it from those sustained winds.
We come inside after looking at the damaged fence and the internet and TV go out and lights start flickering. Then lights go out across the street though our lights stay on. A Christmas I will not forget.
Hopefully not a repeat today...power on so far though had some flickering...

Hmm. Was supposed to be in the 40s today with rain.
However, it is 32 and snowing.. Still have several inches of ice and snow left on the ground from last week's storm. Neighborhood google group has rumors of a plow - I'll believe it when I see/hear it. Also reports from folks who tried to drive out but failed.
I was really hoping we could get out again before the next predicted snow on Tues. night.

The only solution to the iced
The only solution to the iced road w/ snow on top is a set of studded snow tires. You can run them in OR from Halloween through April Fools. Of course, they require an extra set of wheels and some storage space in garage or shed, but those and 4-wheel drive got me around safely during Winter conditions. The regular BF Goodrich all-terrain tires had not enough traction, even though they are rated for snow.
Chains help, but who really wants to fool with those ??
Hope you get to town soon, Mr. Surf.

Wow...just read that the Giant Sequoia known as The Tunnel Tree was destroyed in storms? I always wanted to visit that tree (possibly 1,000 years old), and although hpfly ill still make it to the state parks out there someday, the chance to hike up to tunnel tree has sadly ended.

It's been 34 for 24 hrs. now, so some melting.. We're going for it this morning, with or without chains. More snow tonight.
Yeah, when it gets like this I wish I bought some studded tires. Then I forget about it, until next year.
Actually, haven't needed them for the last five years - no ice to speak of until this year.

So, it's warming up by me (29 degrees in Jackson, NJ), but I just got a text from my buddy. He said the surfing was good in NY yesterday, re-affirming what I suspected all along. Surfers are a special breed of crazy.
Top of Page Bottom of Page PermalinkFull Name: Sycamore Slough
Yeah,
Yeah,
Jerseyland is supposed to warm up next few days before another few inches of snow Saturday. I'm not crazy about 'Low 15 -- High 25' days because machinery and plumbing fail like that. I've been afraid to run my log splitter last few days because the too-cold temps are what killed the hydraulic pump back when.
Anyway, Hüsky just loves the Arctic weather. It's the joy of his life to lay around in the Snow.
