10 above with a high of25. Was up at 4:00am. to finish cleanup so the wife could leave for work. Have about 5 hours on the machine total for this storm. Looks like we got 18 inches or so. Hard to tell with the drifts.

6 above and looking for a high of 19F The 40% chance of snow last night didn't happen. The roof on the portable shelter I have my Jeep in has ripped off in the wind. I will go out today and cut the rest of it off. There is a plan in the works to replace it with the same type I have my tractor in. Still Shelter Logic, but a 24 x 12' SUV shelter. They shed snow better.

Don thanks for the link. I was not clear ( too many things running through my head :( ) When on multi day rides the calorie density has to go up. Typical day of 60-80 miles burns 2500-3500 cal just during the ride, processing enough calories to be ready for the next day is a challenge. I am trying to learn enough to eat "less bad" during such rides and still digest enough calories. That way I have less to change (dietary habits) after the ride.

I never did a multi-day grueling exercise so you are out of my league on this. But if I did I would be looking for whole grain pastas, and potatoes to carb up before, and during the ride find some granola/fruit/nut/seed bars that high in calories but have no extra added oil. I would probably make my own because they are hard to find. I would be looking for a slow release types of sugars, carbohydrates, proteins, natural fats like natural peanut butter (with peanuts the only ingredient), so you don't get those energy ups and downs. What would be hard is forcing myself to eat while riding on the first day so the carbs, proteins and fat in the digestive system are being used instead of running on empty and your body grabbing the proteins from the muscles, (which I have painfully experienced toward the end of marathons). Stay Hydrated!

15 this morning maybe gets to 30 today very windy. Ground is lightly covered with skiff of snow this morning. Hopefully everybody up north made it thru the storm yesterday

The warm Feburary we had is going to play havoc with the fruit trees

Good Morning! 56F @ 5:15AM. A mix of clouds and sun this morning followed by mostly cloudy skies and a few showers this afternoon. High near 65F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

That's a LOT of snow, Phil! I remember only a couple of times in my youth in Ohio where we got a couple of feet, and drifts up to the window sills on the house. Mostly I remember how they closed the schools, and the old man complaining about shoveling the driveway by hand. Nobody but farmers had tractors back then; they sure take some of the sting out of a big storm nowadays!

Lots of weed spraying yesterday took up longer than I'd have liked, so I delayed the work trip to the mechanic's until today. In some places the gravel and decomposed granite were completely covered, so there'll be a fair amount of hoeing and raking to do after the burn down. Lord knows I could use the exercise! Besides, it was such a nice day yesterday it seemed a shame to spend it inside a dark garage.

Sunny with a high of 60. Beautiful day but I have to work inside a windowless office for 12 hrs. It sucks but some one gotta pay the bills.
I had one free hour last night and just managed to drill the ends of my 2 new hydraulic cylinders and put the grease zerks on. That was it! My lady requested no sound in the shop after 11 pm. I'm hoping to get the FEL working and change the transmission oil in my lady's car this weekend.

Have a great day peeps.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 66° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 92° with lots of sun. Got some shopping done yesterday. Car washed and other small outdoor projects before it got too hot. Going to west side of Phoenix to visit relatives today.
Glad, All made it threw the storms.
Drew, hope it warms up soon.
Good Morning All.

Be safe!

You guys all getting up early this morning ... and I hit the snooze button a few too many times. :muttering:

Used to love watching Justin Wilson, Randy. Very entertaining.
