How’s Your Weather?

[hoarder]

!8" of snow in some spots, 16" overall. "Global warming" should be here any day now.

 

[Casey Jones]

Yup. Seven inches in my little corner of Montucky.

 

[mnmom]

I just remembered we had some interesting weather Wednesday morning. 9:30 AM, normally light out, it was darker than night. Thick clouds with thunder sleet and smoke. Any light you could see was real yellow when it started to clear.

It was an interesting morning. Thunder then snow and sleet here. Just after 8 inches of snow.

It took me a few seconds to see what we were looking at there....your pics got a case of CrAcKeR syndrome.

I'm not real tech savvy.

I'm not real tech savvy.

Me either, but no worries madam mnmom, its not you but something like the software and digital mumbo jumbo. It never happened to me until I recently got a new phone that apparently does higher-resolution photographs so I think that might have something to do with it. Either way it keeps us on our toes and stretching out our necks. :)

 

[hoarder]

7 degrees f this morning and clear. East wind. I'm looking for Elk.

Yup. Seven.

I'm several hundred miles away from hoarder, but it appears we're in the same weather belt. Which is unusual in the mountains.

Hard cold front went through; and now, intense sunshine but no heat at all. Records were broken overnight.

Keeps the riff raff out though eh'?

 

[Goldhedge]

It was 71° yesterday.

It's 10° today...

I WISH.

This town is LOUSY with Californicators. The weather's not to their liking; but it's virgin territory...where they can march for Leftism on the streets, safely, and then retreat to one of the four Starbuxx in town. Where they can bellyache about Wealth Disparity and Sustainable Development, while living in beautiful McMansions in Rattlesnake, just outside town.

No...as I see our bum colony, under the mile-long low bridge over the river...grow and grow...I know: The weather doesn't keep the riffraff out. Nor will even Alaska winters, as things get closer to Full-Retard Collapse.

-7 predicted here tonight. I was over the first snow excitement two weeks ago. Ex GF threatened to sue me for falling down my front porch steps. Can’t really blame her. I’d never put that plastic wood shit down again. It’s slick in rain or snow and hotter than hell when the sun is out. Whoo hoo my nine months of winter has kicked in!

When it dries out, tack or glue down those grit-strips...I'm sure Home Dee-phew has them, Ace if not. They used to use them even on locomotive steps, which can get slippery in winter (EMD locomotives are made in Mexico now, and they don't have the snow we do...so engineering of things like walkways and vents, suffers even more on post-2000 designs). But those grit-strips last.

I'm assuming you meant a plasticized paint covering on the steps. The one time my old man inadvertantly bought some of that, and saw it was too slick, he went to a playground, stole a couple of pounds of play sand out of the kids' box, and mixed it in with the paint. Worked great for a couple of years.

Id try the strips casey mentioned or one of the additives for a paint. It's usually just a bunch of granules in the bag you dump in the paint and you end up with a gritty surface. I used it on a commercial floor with success.

with you on that,
don't care for plastic decks, plastic siding, etc.

My mentor friend would talk about people living in plastic boxes and how 2/3 of the people would die from the inhalation of the toxic fumes coming off of the houses before succumbing to other dangers present in apocalyptic/etc. scenarios

 

[newmisty]

new, you have some experience with this stuff too,

what many don't realize with plastic sidings, even alum or steel, is the design of them,

they are water catchers and insect magnets. In the fall, all manner of bugs crawl in thru the j channels/corner posts/etc and camp out in the house walls.

nothing wrong with the install, just the design of the products,
first time I ever pulled off those sidings, saw it first hand and since come to realize it is quite consistent

Yep. I once pulled apart an 80 year old house made sheathed with barn board with a simple layer of tar paper underneath the "car siding" and it was almost perfect.

It finally got up to around 30 today. I passed a guy that had more than 4 Elk hooves sticking out of the side of his pickup.
Poor dog can't even sniff the ground without getting a white face.

[Silver]

90 today, supposed be 22 tomorrow night. It has been like an endless summer (hot) and now its gonna get cold - very little cool weather, just hot.

 

[coopersmith]

In extreme se colorado we are looking at snow 8-10 inches, and winds to 40. Its supposed to snow til Wednesday nite, an albequrcue low. there is another one right behind her. Pueblo up to 20 inches according to NOAA. It will help the wheat and pasture grass, its still a week til trapping season anyway, ill have some mud to look for tracks, instead of dust, which sucks.........

 

[Joe King]

I have friend who had a deck made from the fake wood. Stuff is said to be able last for 100's of years.
His problem ended up being that the idjits that installed it used wood 4x4's under it to support it. They rotted in 15 years and the deck dropped. So it didn't do any good to use the other stuff for the deck itself. To fix it, ya gotta tear the deck apart. So he just paid for a new one made out of actual wood that prolly won't last any longer than the first one. Lol

I've seen decks and treads covered with rubber mats.

First snow for Central KY.

 

[HistoryStudent]

That PLACE is beautiful. Boy back in the 1970s in my HIGH skiing days; I would have LOVED it! What the heck is fifty (50) years?

31, 30 nights, 35 days, little sunshine this far north. A few dustings of snow at night.
Found a car junkyard nearby where off a truck I was able to buy and get mounted a full set of aluminium rims mounted with snow tires for under $500. Removed the dinner table from the camper to store the summer set, so no back seats now...
Snow tires are mandatory in Sweden starting December 1st.

 

[Goldbrix]

Tires and Rims for $500.00 is a good deal for any vehicle. Good Move dac.

Closer to $350, actually. Pretty satisfied with my bargaining skills that day!

Well that makes it a FIVE STAR deal. Only thing better would be for him to pay you to take them. CONGRATS
