The weather

[thecfarm]

Magicman,no cooler shirts? I did not go out much today,car trouble got me down.  :( I would have worn my cooler shirt. Will have one on tomorrow. Suppose to be another warm one,than more like fall temps,which it should be. Temps in the high 80's are not normal here this time of year.

[Magicman]

My plan is to be bushhogging for the rest of the week.  There will be no shade.

Was 85 here yesterday and that brought troubles. We had severe thunderstorms as a result. Storm knocked out power. We had one clap here that sounded like a cannon (many others to actually), but when that sucker struck she all went dark. No big wind, just rain. Also the upper valley here is expecting more of the same and a lot of water. Flooding is expected in some towns that are prone to flooding. Not much rain down this way, just showers. But nothing much has come down overnight so far here. Have no power yet, since 6 pm.

Magicman- they used to make ice jackets for the Virginia City silver miners, as the ore heated up to something God awful. Maybe they could be repurposed for sawmilling, etc. ;D 8) 8) 8)

Need a roof over that tractor for ya,Magicman.  ;D  We have one tractor that is used just about for mowing. We have a roof on that one. Sometimes it does not help much,but sometimes it does.
We had the thinder storms here too,sawmpdonkey. It sure did dump some rain on us a few times. Kinda started around dark. I have no idea when it stopped. I was sleeping.

Fall is in the air UP here. Its 55° with a 20mph wind coming right off Lake Superior, sky is gray and lake effect rain showers keep passing through. Have to dig out my box of flannel shirts pretty quick as its a little too cool for short sleeves.

[thecfarm]

About 4-5 days ago I was wearing a sweat shirt out side. Yesterday was a no shirt day.

[mesquite buckeye]

94 and sunny. ;D

[SwampDonkey]

Was 75 here and humid, overcast. Just got power back at 3:00 pm. That's Atlantic time. Remember, in Canada we have a couple more time zones east of Eastern time. Ontario and Quebec is a mighty wide part of the continent to be on one zone. :D The monsoon just began, we have a low before the big one off that tropical storm. Last time we have that happen, in 2005, we got 7 or 8 inches in 24 hrs.  : Flood warnings out for some towns. That storm last night did a lot of damage in Woodstock, took the roof of the civic centre and was on tornado warning. We had 5500 without power. Good thing it's a rural province or that would be a lot more I suspect.

The geese are heading south.  The leaves are turning.  Cold north wind, high of 10c today, low tonight -2.  Sunny tomorrow high of 16c.  Farmers are having a hard time harvesting with all the rain this week.  Temp right now is 4c.

Stay warm my friends

Winter is on its way. ;D 96 with a chance of monsoon thunderstorms. :snowfight1:

[Magicman]

Magicman,no cooler shirts?

I guess that the ones I bought were the wrong kind.  Made by Walls.  Anyway, sweat just runs down my body and soaks into the tops of my jeans and underwear.  No good !!!

I had to get it off and go back to cotton which at least absorbs the sweat.  Anyway we have a cold front passing through and the temps are supposed to drop into the low 90's.   :-\

[chevytaHOE5674]

36° here this morning with patchy frost. The lake effect rain showers finally ended and its now a great fall day with the temp holding at 54°. I love this kind of weather, makes getting outside chores done a breeze.  8)

[Magicman]

It was not so bad yesterday, but bushhogging tall weeds/grass is a nasty dusty business.  I should finish in one more day.

[SwampDonkey]

SE wind here, and sunny, but not a drying day. High humidity, and autumn coolness.

That's why they invented the cab with dust filters on the HVAC... haha

Today looks/feels/sounds like a November day. Temp is 45°, light rain is falling, wind is howling off the lake at 30mph, and the sky is a single shade of gray....

[sandhills]

We keep getting promised good chances of rain but so far just cool with grey skies and a little drizzle now and then, makes it hard to dry hay.  A lot of silage being cut around here and a few are picking high moisture corn, crops are really turning fast, gotta hook up to our chopper today or tomorrow and after the last 9 months or so that's the last thing in the world I want to look at.  :-\

Saturday we got up to our first frost when I left for the woods all the houses roofs were white, waterways and side ditches in places also. This morning it was cool but turned into a dandy day.

[mesquite buckeye]

Sometimes we get a coating of salt from water drying up that looks like frost. ;D 8) 8) 8)

Now, that has gotta be mean.   :D  I wonder if such was even thought of in 1970 when Dad bought my ole JD.  If is was, he could not have afforded it anyway.  One more trip and I will be through for this year.   

[sandhills]

Yes Magic they had thought of it, and coming from someone that grew up running those JD's with that era cab your better off, at least IMHO  ;).  Now in the winter here they at least do help to block the wind (a little).

[Magicman]

Since my sawing customer could not provide a helper, I should be able to finish my bushhogging this week.   ;D

[thecfarm]

62° Fall is here.

[mesquite buckeye]

104 no it's not. ;D

[WDH]

Nope, not here yet either.  Not even close.  Ray, you are lucky, but then again, the ice sheets will form up there in another month  .
