Snow

Sawyerfortyish · October 20, 2002, 05:25:46 PM

Ok who's going to be working in snow on monday? Weather channel said some places may have more than 6"

Frank_Pender · October 20, 2002, 05:36:04 PM

I know that we are not going tohave snow tomorrow. but, we have that good ol' Oregon sunshine comeing down right now. It just began about 15 minutes ago. It is the first we have had in several weeks. We were still at a "high" fire danger this morningat 8:00am in this part of the Wilammette Valley. I sure hope that there is not lightening with this mini fainfall, like we had a few weeks ago. I had a strike about 150' from my property line during the last rain we had. It took out about a 30" plus tree. we were lucky. There was dry grass etc around the site, everywhere. :'(

No snow in Mass. ;D

Kevin · October 20, 2002, 07:25:36 PM

We`ve had snow up here off and on for the last two weeks.

Tillaway · October 20, 2002, 07:40:17 PM

Let's see highs about 85, it was 90 last week, and lows in the 60's. Snow.. I hope not I'm working at about 6000' elevation... not till after I'm done.

Fla._Deadheader · October 20, 2002, 07:59:34 PM

Snow ?? Snow ?? I'm hoping the water temp won't drop below 65 :D :D :D Harold

Tom · October 20, 2002, 08:12:14 PM

Yeah, Harold, if it snows I'm going to take the day off and play with the kids. It'll be a good chance to put my new winter clothes on.

The last I heard it will be in the 80's tomorrow. I won't even have to put on a flannel shirt yet. ;D

Fla._Deadheader · October 20, 2002, 09:06:58 PM

I think I may break out a new pair of shorts. Mine are gettin a lil thin for the winter. :D :D :D

ADfields · October 21, 2002, 01:28:13 AM

No snow in southcentrel Alaska as of yet and I wish it would!! Fairbanks had a bit last week but I think it's gone now. We have been geting ALL of Frank's sunshine up this way and I would like to swap in the flipers for bunny boots and be done with all the wet, SOON! :

Jeff · October 21, 2002, 03:18:30 AM

Calling for an inch here today and 2 to 3 more tonight.

Noble_Ma · October 21, 2002, 06:10:24 AM

There is a possibility of snow tomorrow night in central Mass. Not much expected.

Weekend_Sawyer · October 21, 2002, 07:20:11 AM

We haven't had a "Good" snow here in maryland in 2 years.
My brother and I were lookign at a snow blower at an auction over the weekend. He said, "dont know what you'd do with that"... well, guess you had to be there.

We drove out to Dayton Oh, last weekend to pick up an old truck (freebe) just because it had a snow plow on it. I want to rig my old Farmall M to have a snowplow on it. I can always use it for pushing leaves. We get a LOT of those here.

some day the snows will come back to Maryland. Currently 47 deg.

OneWithWood · October 21, 2002, 07:21:49 AM

No snow in sight and hopefully none on the way. Folks around here are saying we are going to have less than normal snow this year and higher than normal temps. Sure hope so I have a lot of work to do out in the woods.

Texas Ranger · October 21, 2002, 07:51:21 AM

Lemme see, the last snow we had was in '86, or maybe '87. Hard to remember but the kids were little. ;D

Corley5 · October 21, 2002, 11:24:18 AM

Calling for an 1" here this afternoon and evening and maybe up to four tonight. Must be that time of the year. We have already had some that stuck on grassy areas and the hoods and roofs of the trucks.

Fla._Deadheader · October 21, 2002, 03:59:17 PM

Don't know about snow, but, right now, it's raining so hard, the gators are swimmin down the road wearin snorkels !!!

Tom · October 21, 2002, 04:39:27 PM

I think I'm going to invent some Speed Skates for Mud. They'll have to look kinda like fat water skiis but short so you can stroke 'cross the swamp. Might start a new olympic competition. You stop and shoot a possum every now and again. :D

Weekend_Sawyer · October 22, 2002, 06:57:27 AM

What wine goes with Possum?

Bro. Noble · October 22, 2002, 07:46:38 AM

Persimmon or paw-paw

sburro · October 23, 2002, 11:42:13 AM

You shure woodmill??? I had snow today in Dracut Mass.

Tom · October 23, 2002, 04:36:36 PM

Watermelon or Scuppernong or peach or corn :

woodmills1 · October 23, 2002, 04:57:02 PM

sburro I haven't typed on this thread yet but yes we had snow today both in hudson NH and I dracut. So who are ya as I teach in dracut. still had some on the ground in the shade up here on the hill.

Bill Johnson · October 24, 2002, 10:59:53 AM

No snow to speak of here yet. We've had a couple of light dustings but not even enough for tracking.

It's coming though, most of the beaver ponds have thin coats of ice on them already.

Tom · October 24, 2002, 11:04:22 AM

Brrrrrrrrr-r--r--r----r-----r--- I'll be thinking about you Bill.

Noble_Ma · October 24, 2002, 12:19:06 PM

We had 2" of wet snow here in central Mass. It's still in the woods and North side of house.

CHARLIE · October 24, 2002, 09:04:07 PM

We got about 1/2" of snow this morning here in Dover, Minnesota (SE part of the state). The temps have stayed in the low to mid 30's this week. People north of here have gotten quite a bit of snow. I think it was St. Cloud that got about 6" last week. The Twin Cities has also gotten a few inches. It's real wet snow and doesn't last too long but I'm ready for Spring already!

ADfields · October 25, 2002, 02:36:35 AM

CHARLIE You could go down and work the winter with Tom and not be cold. I here he's got a can of pees a day in it for you!

CHARLIE · October 25, 2002, 09:40:16 PM

Nope, 'cause he buys brand 'X' Generic peas with the white label and black block print. I'm holding out for Green Giant.

L. Wakefield · October 26, 2002, 02:35:06 PM

   We had snow on something like Wednesday- it lasted in the shade til Saturday morning when we started with the present rain. They are predicting maybe as much as an inch. Mike's duck pond/sandhole actually has a bit of water in it. I'm holding out til next summer before I commit to clay or bentonite. I want to see what the 'natural' tendency will be. Don't want to fight any uphill battles.

   Now that it's coming on time to throw out hay bales and have the heat on indoors, I'm going berserk about wanting to put in little indoor pools (well, only mildly berserk- haven't bought any kiddy pools yet). Ah well- the tropicals came in with the first hard frost (22*)- they landed in the laundry room, and I just put up lights for them. Now refurbishing the hot tub (still have a 110v heater/pump and I want a 220v). If I can get that little corner done it will be KEWL.

   Speaking of the tropicals- the brugmannsia finally bloomed for the first time just after I brought them in- flower 1 1/2' long, lemon scent. I haven't ever been to Cypress gardens yet (maybe in January)- but I did succeed on this project after 2 years of trying. The little trees are about 2 1/2 to 3' tall, and have plenty more buds if they can tolerate the indoor clime.

A little late-October,South Georgia Snow from this afternoon.

woodmills1 · October 27, 2002, 05:04:32 PM

In cotten tent :D

Don P · October 27, 2002, 08:25:02 PM

I like Tom's kind better. I just stepped out of the house here in IL to flurries...good motivator, I'll be frailing nails tomorrow. Carry me back to old Virginny, I hear the Rochester quadrabog chomping at the bit :D.

Bro. Noble · October 27, 2002, 08:52:18 PM

Better hurry Don, they are even predicting 20 degrees and snow in S. Mo. this week. I still have one patch of alfalfa to hay if this drizzle will stop for a couple of days. Of course, the only weather prediction that you can believe in this part of the country is "turning dark tonight but getting lighter in the morning".
