Batesmotel Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 We are on our “January Thaw”. Nice and warm for winter. But winter will hit with a vengeance again in February and everyone will have forgotten how to drive on snow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 We are in January thaw here - it’s gotten above freezing 3 days in a row so everything is a muddy slush pile. The kid is cleaning chicken coops and I’m about to clean rabbit cages (always easier when urine hasn’t frozen poop to the trays). I’d rather be doing this than working in -25F. 😬 Cooooold. It’s actually 39 here and I don’t need a jacket. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfost11 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Our false Spring was this week. Thursday and Friday were cloudy but 72 and just a little humid, then 79. I had the thought to head to a hometown secluded beach to plop my butt in the sand with a cooler of margaritas. Then came the work emails scheduling zoom meetings with senior vice presidents at the one time of day that would prevent me from making it anywhere and back had I tried leaving the house. And of course it was the most worthless zoom ever. To make it even worse the big boss said I've got to cut it short, I have an appointment. I just looked at the weather and the next ten days are back to cold or subfreezing. Hope can be so disappointing sometimes. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get what is called the "Pineapple Express" every winter where warm weather blows in from the Pacific and melts everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Lucky for me I have some traveling coming up in my schedule to a warmer place. Twice actually. February and again in March. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Is there a metric equivalent to Cold AF? Cold as Buggery, maybe... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Cold, that cold and that long, accumulates. It chips away at you and all material things. Our winter has been uneventful and easily above normal every day. But, the mud is attacking. We don't even have a driveway any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 My basement door's screen door handle is still all smashed in and broke from last year, from when I had to side-kick it, because it was too thick froze-over. Waay to cold to just stand there with an armload of stuff.... so.... "waaataaa!!" 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the field, it was so cold vehicles said to hell with it! BIL and I had a car to work on one morning it was -35 F. We had to remove damaged sheet metal to get it winched into the garage. Everything spot welded to the fenders and front end broke the welds trying to loosen the body bolts. It really is felt by metal when it's that cold. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
