Pretty chilly at 32 this morning. Frost on the ground. Hands are frozen from doing the morning chores. Lots of little projects to get done today. Fix a fence, repair a water line, fix the turkey coop, then start taking some photos for putting the house on the market.

Good Morning. 28F and sunny this morning in the Syracuse (central NY) area. Heading to a balmy 35. We have yet to have any measurable snow this season. Just shy of an hour north of me they are getting hit with lake effect snow right now. 1-2 inches an hour with some areas reporting 6-8 inches already. Please don't drift down here mister lake effect

32f Here at Camp Tejas south of Giddings. Very nice place. Rooms have no tv's so the kid that is awake is bored. I'm only able to post using my wife's phone that has working wifi.
Welcome labhaven.

Drew, I hope your party turns out great. How easy is it to get local shrimp there? Or are they even available?

Waiting on the edge of our seats for Santa photos, we are.

Good morning all. Don't know about y'all, but 27 degrees feels pretty cool this morning after being in low 70's (afternoon) earlier this week. Although it is near Christmas - 27 actually feels right.

31 this morning and headed to 47 today.

Really wondering if it ever got out of the 30's yesterday.

TMA is back into the chicken coops. Hope to finish them today. Then come back and help the wife clean the house and put up the Christmas tree. Yea we don't do a lot of decorating.

Drew good luck with the party.

Roy woods makes a good product.

RNG, I was reading the weather predictions yesterday for Jan-Mar. Basically said the south will be wetter and colder than normal, the North will be dryer and warmer than normal. Not sure where you fit in that?

Kev, I've read those same predictions. If they're true, California is in for another year of drought. Between the reservoirs and mountain ranges, most of the state's water storage is up north. If there's not enough rain/snow to fill up the storage, there won't be enough water for summer crops (again). It all comes down to the influences of El Nino and what they're calling The Blob, the unexplained persistent area of warmer water off the north coast that's causing high pressure in that area. It throws the storm track up into Washington and Canada. The latest estimate said that there's a 50/50 chance we'll have increased rain/snow, so I guess that means either we will or we won't. :confused2: Just have to wait and see if we do or not. But even if we get record rain, I think it would be naive to think we could offset the effects of five years of drought in only one year.

Farmer, the level indicator should take out a lot of the guess work. I find it useful with bale spikes too, makes it easy to return to level and pull out after lifting a soft bale.

Maybe it's just my set up, but it seems that what's level for the bucket isn't level for the forks. So on my tractor, at least, there seems to be some Kentucky windage involved. :shocked:
