Crazy weather

[oosik]

All this unusual weather here. No snow and only a trace of rain. One of these years we will pay for all of this with widespread wildfires.

Our grass is already starting to dry out at the tips. It doesn't bode well for the fire season.

All the best, Peter

Coldest winter in 30 years here. +1F now at noon with a wind chill of -18F. Although making it nasty to be outside, the 24+ MPH sustained wind is actually doing me a favor. It's blown most of the 2 feet of accumulated snow off the roofs. Otherwise, I'd be faced with shoveling it off myself after the next storm.

Yikes !
We are having another 60 degree day in the Rocky Mountains. Warm breeze. The creek is open & running. Pretty much normal weather forcast & outlook - that is it would be normal for late May; not or early Feb. .

I keep thinking I ought to be doing summer projects.

Looking out today is very odd with the Super Bowl venue off in the distance…

Thick pea soup fog which is rare… difficult to the house across the way… folks wearing coats…

Crazy weather.

I'm trying to get my summer projects done before the snow in summer falls!?

Thanks for the smile. I keep itching to start summer projects as well.

All the best, Peter

It has been a pretty typical winter here in the Twin Cities area. Had a stretch of 2-3 weeks with temps below or barely above zero in Jan and another of about a week or so in Dec. Finally broke a few days ago and been above freezing finally. Had a good bit of snow too. Saw -22 or 23 a couple weeks back. Plus some wind. Did not go out that day...

Im really thinking of pulling chains, and all snow equipment off the tractor and start hooking up the chipper and grapple. Nice weather to start chipping and cleaning the woods.

Isn’t it the First of May where you are to switch to summer tires?

Aside from a snow killing rain early on, it's been colder than the last 5 or so. Lots of 2-4" storms, plenty of 4-6" storms, and a few 6-14" storms. Had to start the snowblower since there was no more room to move it. My driveway is lined with banks that remind me of Buffalo NY after a few snow falls. 6-14' banks. Tried going snowshoeing for the first time, didn't even make it 1/4 mile. Snowshoes sunk almost 10" (really) into the fluffy snow we've gotten all year. Not in that kind of shape at the moment.
Hold it, I bought a new tractor with tier 4. Maybe it's the byproduct of that causing this winter weather.
