Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

-37C. Why do you ask?

I've never heard of a -70F before so I was wondering what the actual temp was without the wind blowing. -37C would be -35F. I've been in -20F (in Colorado) and that was cold enough.

25° and steady rain, what could go wrong?

17 right now...balmy after the last couple of days. High of 50 today and rain all day.

38 Celcius here most of the day, whatever that is in farenheight. It is now 6.30 pm and it is 35C (95F) and cooling after a little sunshower. Just checked, It is 100.4 in F scale

-5C/23F @ 9:00am. Doesn't feel cold, thanks to the wind taking it's time to get up this morning.

Yesterday started well, with the sun warming my back as I bent over, pulling out staples from fence posts that had rotted and were only held upright by the wire. One section needed a couple of yards of the pig netting replaced. Pig netting is our most commonly used stock fence, with wires closer at the bottom than the top - like this


Do you use the same in your country ?

Anyway I went and found a piece just the right length, cut and twisted off a line of the vertical spacing wire on the right hand side, ready to join on, and started twisting the left side to join onto the existing fence. Got the top wire on, then realised I was holding the new piece upside down. :ashamed: Not much option other than to cut back both pieces and start again. The new piece was then too short ... :confused3: Ok, have to go back to the barn and get some more. Sheep are really good at sensing these moments. They had all gathered around and were now planning their escape through this new gap, so I had to temporarily joint it back up to keep them in.

I hadn't realised it at the time, but I was obviously having a wngsprd style how-can-it-take-so-long sort of day - without the soup.

We call it Hog wire here, Eric. Usually run a strand of barbed wire under it.

A strangely warm 60 degrees going up to 62. Warm system going all the way up into New England to warm up Roy's day.
Rain about to start, will be heavy all morning and then move on out.
Going to be a lot of snow melting today.
Hoping to work on the Cub Cadet all morning while it's relatively warm out.

 

[wngsprd]

36 and still about 3 or 4 inches of snow...but today's 56 and heavy rain should wash it away.

Had to drive to the airport yesterday to pick up my son...no fun on the first 10 miles of curvy icy backroads, but the highways were all clear. He ate lots of crawdads and beignets in Nawlins.

Off to the dermatologist for regular checkups - there will certainly be a couple pulls on the trigger of her liquid nitrogen can.

Oops! A bit of a calculation error there. Each degree Celsius counts 9/5 or 1.8°F. And, at -40 the temperatures are exactly the same Celsius and Fahrenheit. So, when we drop down to -51 Celsius, that is 11° colder than -40°C. So if you take this 11° and multiply it times 1.8, you get almost 20°. So the actual wind chill factor in Fahrenheit was -60°F, not -70°F.

Still ridiculously cold, and something I have never seen before up at the cottage. The tractor did OK, though!

29 this morning ice on trees power going on and off appliances having fits not a good morning in SWVa I tell you. May go to Green Front in Farmville today to look around if ice lets up

That's too cold for man or beast

Is that normal for your temperature?
To be that hot

And yet here in Toronto this morning (2 1/2 hrs. South of the cottage) it is 1°C, or about 34°F. That is a temperature differential of some 94°F!

? Where is Alien?

 

[Buppies]

Probably Australia

Trees are all ice encrusted power lines drooping and think there are at least two more storms coming up for the mid Atlantic before March 15th and the cold to go with them. If we get any heavy rain at all flooding will also be a concern

Bring your shorts and sunscreen.

57 now going to 74 today and sunny. We had a nice little rain last night, I'm sure the garden liked it

Let's go racin' boys!!!!

 

[Larro Darro]

Good Morning. 0650, partly cloudy, 46F with 92% humidity. Forecast high of 68F with no chance of rain today, and a low of 47F tonight. We got a little over an inch out of the storms last night according to weatherunderground. I haven't been out too look in the bucket to see what it was here on the Larro Ranchero. Seemed like more to me. Especially when I was driving home last night.

I will be going in to work a little early today. Margie's office is my customer {pole worker training} and that comes with a few extra honey do's. Not sure what I will get into until then.

You guys have a good one,

Larro
