Author Topic: Chilly Cal Taylor Knows what it's all about Member # 199 posted February 17, 2006 06:30 AM                    A little brisk this morning. 18 below zero, and they say we will get a little breeze later, making windchills 40 to 50 below.

It was 8 this morning, the sun is shining, but the temps seem to be dropping, it's 3 now. Tonight it's predicted to be -11 with 10 to 20mph wind. Tomorrow is supposed to be better, only 5 to 10mph winds, so the wind chills won't be as bad. The temps will be the same. But by Tuesday the temps are supposed to be back up to freezing (32) during the day, so it's going to be a short snap here. later, scruffy -------------------- Git R Done Posts: 361 | From: south central Iowa | Registered: Nov 2005  |  IP: Logged Leonard HMFIC Member # 2 posted February 17, 2006 10:29 AM                       Weather here, has been acting like spring, 85/90º all week, but the past couple days, like right now, it's about 51º? Factor in the windchill and that's almost in the forties? Burrr! We have not had a freeze so far. Last year I had a lot of damage to my tropical plants, so this year, I took precautions and, of course ....nothing yet? You know, I (I mean, we) have been pondering where to move and spend the rest of our "golden years". Jack's solution (NV) is a good one, but we are also considering Arizona, (the McNeal area?) and NM, maybe even Wyoming(?) but then I remember the *** ****** WIND! That's a nonstarter. Looking for a place where they don't hate Californians? Believe me, it's a quandary. Main goal is to get the hell out of this state. Good hunting.

You deserve it buddy. The high is going to be 36 here Sunday, and were not sure we are going to live through it. -------------------- Make them pay for the wind.

Forecast looks bad. Here, it never got to 60º all day, barometer is dropping fast and they are predicting snow down to 3,000 foot elevation. Good hunting.

Circa; 1976. Pelts were going for $70-$100. It was during snowfly, Sunny & a NorWester wind rippin -60WC. My buddy waited in the truck.[The smarter of the two] I shot the fox, by the time I stumbled back to the truck. I couldn't move any of my fingers. [I carried my gun under my arm & the Red, with my wrists. My buddy helped me into the truck, as I couldn't use my hands to open the door. The rest of my body was pretty stiff. I yelled as my hands thawed[unbelievable pain]. He thought I was crazy. I agree'd.

I darn near froze my juevos off!!!! Only the windchill hit Cal's temps.

Right now, the CHP is escorting Friday night get-out-of-towner's over the I-5 "Grapevine", where it has been snowing for a couple hours, already. It's 51º right now, furnace has been on, all day. I kid you not, I don't remember the last time that happened? I want to move somewhere where it's warm. Good hunting. LB -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

And I saw snow on the Chiricahuas on the way home. I haven't yet checked the forecasted snow level. But I'm at 4200' your forecast of 2000' sucks! -------------------- Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass kickin'.

I have come to know a couple of things, that make them hunker-in. Out of sight. 1. "Blowing" snow 2. Drizzle/sleet. -------------------------------- Last two winters, seen quite afew balled-up in -20 to -40WC. Today it was Sunny & around -20WC, Coyotes were on the move. ---------------------- Reds, seem to handle the cold wind better than the Coyotes around here. Coyotes will often dig down in the snow. Where the Reds often don't.

The wind never did come up, so I went trapping. But tonight it's predicted for 22 below, and it's 12 below already so I guess it will get there. More for tommorrow, I just hope the wind don't come up. I didn't have any additive in my diesel truck so it is gelled tight. I'll be driving the gas burner for a couple days for sure. As for the furnace, it's running full time, along with the pellet stove. -------------------- Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch.

Or is it added onto the furnace. Years ago, one of my BIL, had one.

It is a free standing stove that doesn't attach to anything, just has it's own blower, like most wood stoves. They are a great investment, as far as I can see. It heats the basement and since heat rises, helps with the main floor also. -------------------- Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch.
