Areas of fog early, then partly cloudy after midnight. Low 28F. Winds WSW at 10 to 15 mph.

No real plans for today just watch the snow come down and??? Won’t do any clean up until late tonight or tomorrow morning.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy
Prayers for all

 

[sodamo]

Rest in Peace Bird, you’ll be missed.

 

[sodamo]

I was scrolling through the posts from that day, too, and thinking the same thing. Randy was still coming around back then as well.

Did anyone ever find out why Eric disappeared?

That was a good trip down memory lane just seeing the names

 

[daugen]

good morning all
light freezing rain here, warming a little later, hopefully will all melt
I'm leaving around noon to see MIL and hope it turns to all rain then.
definitely a day to be careful going over bridges

no slips
no falls

 

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 24° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 35° with most cloudy skies and some high winds. Got grocery shopping done yesterday. Forecasters got the Icey roads correct.
Sometime overnight rain fell. Walkways are covered with a sheet of ice. Already put some Ice melt down. Hope we do not get alot of tree damage from winds. Had a good talk with Harvey (WroughtonHarv) yesterday. Last piece of income info for taxes showed up yesterday. Will get Taxes done today. Then finish off other paperwork and filings for 2024.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[two_bit_score]

Good Morning!

66°F an clear this morning.

Ron and Drew yall be careful on those icy and/or wet roads. Hope everything clears up soon! Up early and leaving early

Got in late last night after meetings. Lunch meeting lasted over 2 hours and then a reception with some really great people discussing private property rights, property taxes, water, and emminent domain. Lots of good contacts made/renewed enjoyed some great food. Overall one very potentially productive day.

Everyone have a great day!

Prayers for our Nation!

 

[wngsprd]

33 all night and been raining a lot, so no ice.

Daffodils are up about 3 inches already from the couple of warm days.

Wood stove cranking out the heat.

Son came by to pick up and drop off some things yesterday. Good but quick visit.

Today will be a good day to get back to work on the taxes.

 

[mpham]

Morning all!
Currently at 6 going to 29. 3-6 inches on the way with freezing rain to top it off.
Feeling better this morning! Will probably play in the shop while I wait to go do cleanup.
Speaking of the shop I was pleasantly surprised to win an award yesterday over numerous other turners on a world wide turning page!

Not much happening around here. Just trying to make it to spring.

Where do you get the boards? I have Harman, love it. Mine won’t shut off unless I crack the pellet lid. But I’ve ran it like that for years. That started after running it on generator w lousy harmonics.

I bought the first one from Harman. Didn't last any better than the last two I got on Amazon. Both of mine have the no shut off issue sporadically. Voltage spikes or drops from the power company are killing mine I think. Not sure, all I know is they get crunchy when you try to adjust them. That signals time for changing! I did find a site that list heavy duty replacements if you can do repairs. Brother in law was lead engineer at Simples time recorder. Easy peasy repair for him.
Coffee time!
Be careful with storm cleanup all!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

 

[Spike56]

Good Morning from Central Texas.
At 5am, 66 degrees with same Dew Point. An unusual stretch of warm weather the last week. Wouldn't mind if we had a cold front, just not too cold!
OPINION / Question: Didn't know where to post this, so doing it here. Has anyone "made safe" / "cut into" a propane bottle. I am speaking of the 14 ounce ones like:

Now I know, NOT TO just take a grinder with a cut-off wheel to it ! What I am asking is "has anyone done this". I watched some U-tube videos where they say to block open the valve, fill with water and let that sit a week or two - claiming the gas needs to leach out of the metal ? Sounds safe, but I'd really like to hear from someone who has actually cut / drilled these before I attempt it.
I use these all the time and have accumulated a bunch of them. The local metal recycle places will NOT take them without being cut up / hole drilled in them. Thanks in advance.
Headed to Dallas. Hope all have a better day than I will.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 9 and going to a high of 28°F. Wind ENE 8 mph. Snow about 2". Another 3/4" tonight. Probably plow on Friday.

Nothing planned other than plowing.

I have found it is better to have it snow first and then the freezing rain on top.

Have a safe day all

 

[daugen]

enjoyed breakfast and hot shower, looked out and what a mess out there, half sleet and half ice pellets, everything white again
in a shiny glaze. Nope, not going out in that...
going to wait until it warms up, precip stopping around noon.

Phil, congrats for being on the cover. Your work is deserving of a lot of covers.

 

[riptides]

34 outside right now, rain, sleet mixture coming down.

Getting the wood stove going again.

Looks like we need a new heat pump in the other house. That's going to have to wait for a little while.

Should be a quiet day, need to do some shopping and a dump run. Not too excited about going out in the rain though...might melt.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

 

[daugen]

as nasty as it was outside, figured they would call off school, and they have.
and used a lot of fancy words to do so.
at least they get homework.
shows you how important it is today for connectivity
Thursday, February 6, 2025, will be an asynchronous learning day for the New Hope-Solebury School District.

All K-12 students will be asked to login to Canvas after 9:00AM and complete posted assignments within one week. Please find further asynchronous days guidance regarding the protocols and expectations.

 

[Buppies]

31.6 ice on shrubs several close strikes of lightning strange mixture of weather high of 60 later today.

Yes mostly

Woke up early 5:00AM reading news and weather weather is better.

Prayers for all silent or spoken our Country

 

[daugen]

Buppies, weather ain't so hot here either

https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/reviews/best-bug-out-bag?dicbo=v4-YQyEDcy-1088684753-1

sent this article to my sister in California, reminding her to have a bug out plan
if Muir Woods catches on fire. Pretty sure she can go straight to kids, but if earthquake, her alpine style
access road may be down on the beach. So she will have to hoof it out.
I made sure I put a med kit in the volvo for her. And a fire extinguisher and flash light. There's room in the storage spot
in the back for one more thing, maybe big bottle of water. One of those emergency foil blankets are in the med kit.
but around here, everyone needs a blanket or something extra in their car during the winter.
sitting by the side of the road steadily getting colder reminded me of that recently.
I bet Don and Scott and others with Fire/EMS experience are stocked up.
you always want to be able to respond, and help, so you need the basics.
and for sure you want your wife and family to have what they need if your luck runs out.

40 years ago I took a clean car towel out of my car and used it to stop the bleeding on the driver whose forehead was laid open
and his door jammed, waiting for rescue squad to extricate. I was second on scene when we could drive our own cars to the incident.
pretty sure today everyone has to go to the firehouse first, except maybe not fire police.
I was glad I had a clean towel, maybe not antiseptic but good enough. I know that guy was grateful to get the blood out of his eyes.
I did not ask for the towel back.

I have a good LL bean canvas bag that would make a good bugout bag. It has a top zipper also.
no fire or earthquake danger in this area, always local and minimal not burning down huge areas.
But my sister chooses to live on the side of a cliff near a giant California forest.
with my risk management background, it will forever worry me.

 

[Buppies]

Drew you are in the firing zone snow line very close to you Thomas maybe 2 foot or more of snow by next Friday. I can only dream SE Ridge too powerful for us

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning,
Punta Cana, 75 to start going to 80 ! Clouds and sun, hope sun wins later !

Phil, hope the new board fixes the problem!

I need to tone down being in vacation mode ! I think that’s all I will say about that !

Hope all have a great day !

 

[Tinhack]

The weather is crazy this time of the year for us. Seems like just last week we were below freezing. Today and tomorrow looks like we'll be pushing up against record highs.
