Thomas, you're really trying to rub it in, aren't you?/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif It was 104 here yesterday afternoon (and I was out working in the shop where it was only 96). Today is supposed to hit 105 (and I'm not out in the shop like I need to be because it's over 100 in there)./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

However, I filled the car with gas yesterday for $1.219 a gallon./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

At first, it was El Nino, then they blamed El Nina. Guess next, they will blame this one, like everything else, on Washington DC, too /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

Bird,
I guess it all balances out in the long run,for what you pay in a/c I pay in heat fuel./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
Those temps in which you face the a/c would be my best buddy./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Stay safe and/w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif

Thomas, oddly enough, since I have a total electric house, and pretty well insulated, the bill doesn't vary that much for heating or cooling; $172 a month average this year (high of $207 and low of $151), and $15 a month of that is just because I have two meters (I have my shop building and barn on a separate meter).

Looks to be another wet sour weekend up here in the northeast./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
Instead of having a tree farm for a hobby maybe I should be growing rice./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
I just hope this isn't a sign of how much snow were going to get this winter/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif for than I need a JD 450 dozer to plow my driveway./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I heard with the right condition 1inch of rain equals 7 inches of snow...could this be true?/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Have a pleasant day one and all/w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif

Thomas, I'd heard it "normally" took about 10" of snow to equal 1" of rain, but of course, it varies; depending on whether it's a cold dry powder or a damp snow.

Around here they say about 12" of snow = 1" of rain but it be different if the snow is the heavy wet stuff.

Dang, I wish it'd snow a foot or so around here so I could measure it./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I'd take moisture in just about any form (except hail) to break this heat and drought.

If they are saying this is a normal summer well than they should check the fields water table,electirc companies for non use of a/c and the fuel companies are starting to deliver heating oil./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Bird if what you say is true..1" equals about 10" plus the snow drifts I'll be a little ground hog come early spring,/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif oh well can't stop mother nature but sure can conplain about her./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Hope everything going fine down there in Texas and its starting to cool off.

Take care and stay/w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif
