Lots of wrecks all around due to slick roads

This is a great little spot on the net. I'm doing better, but still a little off. We are still going up to the low 50's by Thursday. Cant come soon enough.

Yes thanks for starting this very satisfying and great group of people

Good evening all. 38F for the start, light wind clear sky. High today was 58F, winds moderate, and clear sky. Found .2 inch in the rain gauge from yesterday. They are starting to moderate the temps for this weekend. Choir practice this morning, followed by KP duty, bike ride, lunch, replace truck headlight and nap. Need to get Christmas lights down and work out what's going on with the van's rear heater.

This has been one significant "anomalous" arctic airmass over the eastern CONUS. In the last two weeks there were 9 days with early AM temperatures at 0F or -0F here.

The only good that came of this is that I determined that my current diesel fuel "mix" reaches cloud point somewhere between -7F and -10F.

33 this morning and a high of 39. Currently 38. Rainy misty all day. Now lots of fog, visibility is under a quarter of a mile.

News had false reports of school closures this morning. Not the first time that’s happened. Bet the superintendent is wishing he’d just canceled and made the news happy. Had a school bus top a hill and the other side was a sheet of ice. Missed the curve and slid into ditch. 3 of the 8 students were transported to hospital. Mostly precautionary. Very rural roads. No salt outside of state highways. Buses around here don’t get winter tires or anything.

Always nice to hear that clip from Paul Harvey.

Spent most of day getting things ready for birds to leave end of the week.

33 right now...that's the warmest it's been this time of the morning in 3 weeks, give or take. The high will be in the low to mid 30's.

Good morning all, 39 going to 48 and mostly sunny. Got a good dusting of snow last night, just see it on flat surfaces. Not sure of the plan today, time will tell.

Prayers all around. Ed

I guess she was trying to head off any idle chit-chat. :confused3:

Slick roads here too now the temperature has risen to a smidgen above zero, with light rain on top.

I've been feeding the wood burner with timber from the back of the pile and found a few more pieces that had come from a public park - some interesting pieces in there, like this wire tree.

Do I burn it or plug it in ?


At least those wires are clearly visible, unlike the fence wire and staple I found yesterday, buried inside an old hawthorn. I should have expected it as I had just treated the Stihl to a new chain and it thanked me yet again by finding steel before it had time to drink a single tank of fuel :confused3:
