They are calling for above temps by mid week...Woke up to -40 yesterday but warmed up to -10 an has held that till now...If the wind wasn't blowing so hard it would be quite nice out....took a walk back in the woods to take Jake out...

 

yup. like listening to how you guys prepare for that temp or what you have to fix when things go bad (ofc marc and his back door latch)

think i will just stay a tourist next year.

 

Make sure you let us know when you come up,,,,,

 

Wife wonders why I hear voices in my head after logging on to DTR.

 

definitely. hitting all modes of transportation back, time to kick around some places. always nice to see the real people we converse with...lotsa fun! just ask redleg or chaikwa or claude or madhat, etc.....and we pay the same gas and food prices here in new york state. lots in common already LOL

got to go out and check the boiler.. wind is up, about 12 below now.

 

hey my friend. tell her she is just jealous cause the voices talk only to YOU...

 

LoL!! Hey Sister, glad I checked back. You are up far too late for a working girl. Hope you guys survive the storms. I have been lucky here this year. Sometimes being close to the ocean is a pain but its been keeping me warm this year--only 15f right now. Still wishing everybody a good new years.

 

Morning folks, thanks for the welcome back.

We left from near Kilgore yesterday morning and it was +5 with a 10-15 mph wind. The temp dropped to +1 about 30 miles east of Columbus. We never saw anything above 28 for the entire trip. Get up this morning and it's +20 but the news is calling for 1-2" of snow on Thursday with a low of 12. I took all the firewood I had up to my sister for her wood burner.

Hey Scott, I see there was a little conspiracy going on while I was gone. Did you have anything to do with it?

 

Take the Liberty. Tell the Boss I said it was ok!





Morning all.

Cold, snowing and windy here. Wind is straight out of the north at about 30MPH. Did I mention I'm ready for spring?

A conspiracy? Why is it that I always get blamed for everything that goes on around here when you're gone? I have no knowledge of any 'conspiracy'!

 

RICK- if your wife was overjoyed to see the snow - you should have brought her up here ( she would have been in utopia )
Scott _wrong answer _ should have been in your best SHILTS impression (I KNOW NOTHING )

 

Chris, you can pull the trick I did. I carried a load of firewood up to my sister so I wasn't worried about the trip up. For the return trip I just shoveled a bunch of plowed snow in the back for extra weight, worked fine.


Well, normally it's because you've got something to do with it but this time I figured you would have used your investigative skills (cough) and pieced the puzzle together for yourself.

That's right!
