I don't think it got up to 18 here today.
The wind made it feel like zero according to the news.
We did have a couple snow squalls today.

The squalls never ended here, just light dry fine powder all day. But didn't add up. Going to be all night and into most of tomorrow with possible rain mixed in the late afternoon.

An inch of snow over night, still squally this morning, and breezy. 22° this morning. I don't think it will get warm enough for that rain mix this afternoon, but we'll see. Sometimes it rains when it's 30°, warmer air overhead.

60° and 28 % RH in the shop this morning. Still coals from a chunk of spruce put in the shop stove around 4:00 pm yesterday.

I've got 748 holes to drill into new wooden loom parts.  ffwave

Do you think it's wise to run wood with shellac on it through a planer or will it gum the rollers?  :huh?   Shellac doesn't seem to set hard like varnish.  I think I have a jug of EZ strip some place in the shop. Better safe than sorry. I won't put any back on the wood I am removing it from, just rub some linseed oil on after I'm done machining.  ffsmiley

Going to be highs in the 20's up here for the next week. But how true that is who knows. That can change by Sunday. Will hit low 30's today up here and Friday, the hottest for awhile, then drop Friday night.

It's warmed some already, 24° now.

Well, it's 32° here this afternoon. Melting on the steps and the roof, no sun though.

Already here, it's 30° this morning, got to 33° yesterday. Only going to be around 33° again for the high. Breezy out there. No sun for us much, looks like solid overcast out there right now. Suppose to see a few peeks now and again.

Supposedly getting 3-5 inches of snow again starting this afternoon, that's a decent amount for us but shouldn't shut down the city like last Sunday/Monday did.
New Holland LB75b, Husqvarna 455 Rancher, Husqvarna GTH52XLS, Hammerhead 250, Honda VTX1300 for now and probably for sale (let me know if you are interested!)

Snowing again up here tonight. Have been trying to keep snow from getting to deep on my hill but being it's solid ice underneath the snow it's hard to work with. I keep a few tons of limestone chips in a pile which I can sprinkle on the ice if it would quit snowing for a little bit. I'm a little gun shy after wrecking my car on this hill last year. The older I get the less I like snow.

Those hilly driveways are nice in summer and fall, tricky stuff in winter. You guys have more snow than we do, We have maybe 2" here. The 4-lane highway has no snow banks at all. Less snow out closer to the river, maybe 1" if you stretch the tape. It's been plenty cold here though, but the last two days was in the 30's. I think that is over with now though. But not severe cold either. I still would not want to spend a night in a walled tent in it.

24° here at this early hour and the wind finally stopped howling. Man, it was 88° in the shop, the fire was out pretty much and I had to open the windows to do some sanding on a  couple of maple sticks. I hooked the sander up to my Festool vacuum. Had to get a new Dewalt 1/4 sheet sander. I like those better than an orbital for sanding sticks.

Woke up to just an inch of the white crap this ,morning. First we've had in a few weeks. Just enough to make it tough working at the mill this morning because I can't see where the ice is hidden. 25 outside now and more snow is wafting down.

Down to 22° and some type of fine snow in the air, can't even make it. Going to be squalls for the next few days like last week, maybe some sun Tomorrow before they kick in on Monday. But they also said a dry day today, while this fine snow was falling, so there you go for forecasting.  ffcheesy ffcheesy ffcheesy

Kind of a freezing rain, like a fine mist. Wet on the step railing anyway.

Another 4" of wet snow last night and the power just went off. Cleaned the snow off my welder and hooked it up.Now to get out and clean the hill off again. This is supposed to be the end of the heavy snow for a few days but not the cold weather so might as well get at it.
