Ridiculous...
« on: 02/17/14 14:52 UTC »
We just added another 5" of snow to our already over-snow-budget winter's totals. The storm has cleared Rochester now and is headed east. Ya'll in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio are going to get another treat. I've had enough of this crap. I hate the color white.

I had to fill feeders today so after a three hour session with the snow blower....I had to move snow to make room for this new snow....I got my feed pail and went wading out to the two feeders they hit the hardest. Of course with the wind and snow we got today I had to cut a new trail out there and the snow was part way up my thigh now. 37-38 inches and that's where the snow simply drops. None of this has been re-deposited. I damn near had a heart attack wading out and back just to feed the birds.

North of home...as in where our cabin is....about 4 hours Duluth has set a new record for over 50 some-odd consecutive days of below zero temperatures. This is getting ridiculous. Alaska can suck this cold and snow back any time now. Alaska has had a nicer winter than what we have had. I talked with Jason at Do-It headquarters this morning and he said they were in the same throes as what I was in today and he said he's tired of it too. This crap just doesn't quit.

Come down to Texas and get out of all that bad weather. Its 75 degrees here today in Houston.  Feel free and swing by so I can learn and absorb all of your lure making magic powers.

Thanks for the invite, but I am using all of those magic powers trying to get rid of this garbage weather. Actually I've been conferring with a neighbor's crystal ball on some way to ship all this snow out to Denny's yard. The temps too.

Don't let Carole see this invite or I might be down there....sooner than you think. She's been wanting to do a winter trip to Texas for years. Wants to do RiverWalk. If there's no snow there, I might just humor the girl.

You could've kept the storm, Tom.  It's here now, snowing like mad and blowing like a pornstar.

I've had it too.  I have given up shoveling the 160 foot section of driveway.  I just clean up around the house and garage apron.  I just drive over the rest.  Its nice and solid!

A jet dryer would come in handy. So much for global warming

Mid- 60's today...slight chance of rain on Wednesday, then the lower 70's to end the week.  We still need some lousy weather.  Without it summer is going to be scary.
Until next time.

 We got hit last night with rain, freezing rain, and a few inches of slushy snow. Roads were nasty coming home from work at midnight, but they're much better today. Things are supposed to take a turn for the better next week.
 On a positive note, I picked up 50lbs of pretty clean soft lead at the scrap yard today for a buck a pound. Time to get busy in the garage.------Tim.
