My son was so excited this morning to see more snow on top of the old dirty snow. I was not quite as enthused.
I do vaguely remember reacting in a similar fashion when I was a kid; as opposed to the grown up kid I am now
We’ve had spring-like weather for several weeks, so most of the snow is gone. I think it’s a trick, though; I ain’t taking the snowblower off the tractor until May.
Just got in the door from a 13.8km night ski tour exercise. Temp was –7 and 5cm fresh snow made for a real fast track, which made it very enjoyable. GPS said average speed was 4.5km/hr with top speed reached of 18.6km/hr. With conditions like that, I’d take winter year round! Pity you in Winnipeg however.
Same weather pattern here in the Northeast of the US another 100 plus inches of snow this year well into the top 5 for all time snowfall recorded ever. It’s very interesting to note the top 5 snowfalls records of all times for my region occurred from 1992 to present and they have been keeping records for well over 100 years. I am ready for spring.
It is not quite as cold here, but it should be 10 deg. C. now but it will be subzero for the next five days. It is the time of year to walk in the park with my 2yr old son without scarfs thick coats, gloves and moaning about the cold wind.
No idea what oil costs round you - but I’ll bet it is around 6x what gas costs - as it is here. My usual power consumption is around 500W - lately it’s been 5kW (At 33c per KWh).
I heard the Ole M-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i was about to run dry. So you guys really needed to get smacked good in middle east, but being without oil, is not cool (ah, I guess it is). Well last year it was like Florida in Chicago, but this year, hmm, yea. Well, I live in a Banana belt valley in the Pacific Northwest, and everything goes North of us or South of us, or over us, so yea 50 to 60 nice weather. My weeds are going to have to be harvested early this year, I can tell. Should get some nice weed this year :heart_eyes: Well, wishing you guys well, not missing digging out of the snow for sure, be thinking of you riding my Harley today…. 8)
The last two mornings it’s been –3F when I head out for work. Right now it feels like it heatwave at 31 and sunshine.
Just looked at the lake reports and the ice is at 22” and increasing.
I took one step out the back door of the garage and was like “I don’t think so” this was 5 days ago.
