55 degrees. Wet. Cold. Raining. Cold. Humid. Cold. Moist. Cold feet. Depression. Cold.

Red has the same opinion of this weather as I do.


I am supposed to be building pallets but I just woke up from a powernap on the shop couch myself. It's cozy underneath that fluffy down blanket. Work is over-rated especially when it is a monsoon out there. Did I mention it is freezing cold ???

I can just hear some wiseguy right now is gonna say something like "That ain't cold it is 25 here!" Well, it's the same thing. A 80 foot wave will capsize a boat same as a 100 foot wave. Cold is cold. But on top of it we gotta have all this nasty rain. COLD rain.
Just look at this mess . . . . .



Just yesterday were out there sawing mesquite in perfect weather . . . . If anyone comes around looking for me tell 'em I am at WalMart buyin a basket full of chinese socks. ::) When I get back I'll piut on a pot of coffee. y'all come one over. Talk is cheap and the coffee is free. BYOS. ;D

41 days without rain.  :'( Temp in the 80's daytime, in the 60's at night.

Wish I could be wet and cold for a day or two. :-\ ;D

It gets pretty cold here sometimes - then some smart aleck sez "But its a DRY COLD"  That's when ya hit'em with a frozen mitt  ;D

It's been a cool -10 here for about a month.  Looking forward to December when it hits a nice -45 to -50. Then I will hibernate for about 2 months. ;D

   Go for the wool socks..... the higher the wool content the better. ;D

No! Makes me cold just looking at it.

Wool socks make my feet sweat. Then the sweat freezes. Vicous cycle. Seems like we were just discussing this. Where did the year go.

 ;D   then get a bucket of wool socks and change them often.   ;D  Dry socks= Warm feet. 8)

I'd be there for the coffee....but it's a long walk.

Thin silk sock inside wool socks is the best combination for me, if I'm out in the below 0°F weather.

My feet sweat a lot, and this was the best combination to handle it, given that I had the Gore-tex Danner boots on.. :)

Nothing wrong with that in Alberta this time of year.  8) The cold will come soon enough.

No winter here yet, 80's during the day, 60's at night. No killin frost yet either, only two little wimpy frosts. :o My neighbor, who turned 91 last week, says this is the latest he has ever seen it without a frost.

It got down below 0°F last night for the first time this winter.  Actually had to turn on the boiler this morning.  :(

That's cold! I don't want to see that 'til mid January.

I don't want to see below 0 at all.But we need it to keep away the bad snakes, bugs and tourist.Temps have been very warm here too.The guys who deer hunt will have to be careful with thier deer.I can remember when we use to hang the deer in our front yard years ago.Now you can't due to the warm temps and the people that might steal it.I'm thinking about about growing some 120 days tomatoes next year.I might even get a fall garden going.My Father wouldn't know what to think.We did get a frost 2 nights in a row.But I could of covered things up if there was anything to save.Everything has died back.

Scuba Divers in the know, know that wearing them makes it alot easier to don your wetsuit, and especially get out of it! The general rule is after you get your suit off, you are supposed to take the pany hose off fairly soon, but some of us guys like the way feel and don't want forget to take them off. :o ::)

Those derned weathermen. Or maybe it's weatherwomen cause whoever is makin the forecasts sure be fickle.  :o

Does your forecasts change alot ??? Just afew days ago they said cold wet weather for the entire week - now i click my favorites forecast and they all like THIS!

I ain't complaing a bit! Especially all the wind today we're having today it will dry out the muddy ground and I can crank up the saw as early as tomorrow.  8)

But it makes me wonder if anyone has noticed that they change the forecast on a regular basis during certain times of the year? i have noticed it before. Every state has the claim "If you don't like our weather in so and so just wait a few minutes it will change".

The forcast for yesterday was supposed to be 90 degrees, but I think they missed it by a degree or so, as the cloud cover came in earlier than they thought it would.
