Re: How's the weather?
I love this global warming. February and it's 51 degrees. With heating oil in this area at $4.31, some of the places are $5.11. My co worker has twin 275 gallon tanks, that fill up should come with complimentary Vaseline. I'm hoping we don't see the frigid temps we normally receive. We had 7" of snow a few weeks ago and all of it is gone due to rain. The ice though was really touch and go for a bit. Might even get to do some flying this weekend. Dust off some of this cabin fever.

Re: How's the weather?
Today they call it global warming or cooling. Back in the old days they called it weather. Read that the north pole ice is at its thickest in a while. I ignore the boob tube and boob news, get weather from apps. Hardly watch TV, waste of time these days.

Re: How's the weather?
We received 4" yesterday morning. It stopped about 10:30 am. The wet stuff and it's practically gone today. Weird, the temps really dropped, winds picked up. I got some building in however, the Combat Streak is almost framed up.

Re: How's the weather?
We're supposed to get 8-10" of snow between today and tomorrow. Windy too. We're paying for the nice weather we had a few weeks ago.
Re: How's the weather?
Hi rsv1cox,
I bet there are glowing coals still left in that fire !
I'm collecting twigs etc to do a 'Spring BBQ'.
All the ash dust gets turned into the tomato patches.
Very weird Winter, just west of Toronto, Canada.
Zero out door skating rinks, and no chance of making a snowman.
First time in 20 yrs, the trusty 5hp Honda Snowblower has not been needed.
Neighbour with the 10hp blower has not started it for 10 yrs,
And the neighbour with an awesome Craftsman 25hp one has not started his for 20yrs.
We are not complaining,
Just observing.
A very cloudy Winter since last November.
Somehow a few days after the Groundhogs made their predictions,
Blue Skies and Calm winds !
I flew the 24in elec Buzzard Bombshell for three days !
Frost each night, calm 4C mid afternoons.
Sunlight through transparent yellow is awesome.
We are back to the usual 'regular' windy Spring here...
Hope the weather is Good where you are...
Take care,
Have fun,
Dave
P.S. +90 yr old Mum and Dad are OK, thanks for not asking for details !

Re: How's the weather?
I'm looking forward to being able to light our burn-pile. It's getting pretty big but it's still the fire danger period here. We're now into Autumn but are yet to get much in the way of Autumn rain. Summer was very late and not all that hot. The "experts" say that it's been our hottest summer on record which is just garbage. I reckon we've only had about three uncomfortably warm nights. Longest stretch of 35ºC plus has been about 3 days rather than the usual 6-7 days, repeated 2-3 times over the season. No idea where they're getting their figures from but they're certainly not true if my memory serves.
Just had a light shower, first for a couple of weeks. They predict some heavy rain over the next few days which should settle the dust a little.

Re: How's the weather?
Hi Oldenginerod,
I am glad things are getting more temperate again for you.
I could not stand the 45C and 30C nights you had 3 months ago.
Us snowblowers here are upgrading our air-conditioners.
Good luck with the rain.
Farmers here are used to 2-3ft of snow to evenly melt each year.
Gentle rains all April might even thing out here.
Had a beer with my snow blowing neighbours and had fun with some math,
According to the law of averages,
We have to move 25ft of snow next year...
And we can turbo charge the awesome 25hp vintage Sears/Craftsman snowblower.
We missed snow blowing this year !
Can you tell?
Spring here,
Is when you park snow blowers...
Take care,
Have fun,
Dave

Re: How's the weather?
Hi All,
Spring is Sprung here just west of Toronto,CAN.
Elders say, 2 to 3 weeks earlier than yester years. What do they know?
Just ask scrambling home garden store employees.
I am cutting back to 10 Tomato plants this year.
I want to grow them taller, so I don't have to bend over !
Made a path for 91yr old Mum's new walker. Both sunny/shady spots.
For over 60yrs, she has been part of a Garden Club.
Our goal this year, is to make a list of all the plants, as they bloom.
(the Swiss Alpine Butter Cups bloomed in February ! )
This Summer will be Fun.
PLUS !
Dad has a 44in span Fiesler Stork. Scratch built from plans he drew. Flies good, but a bit too heavy.
We are going to stress test/smash/recycle it and put the guts in this:
https://www.dumasproducts.com/?product=l-19-bird-dog-kit-1804
It is his first lazer cut/CA glue plane he has built. And it is a Beauty.
We will modify the scales we use, to make sure it is 250 grams...
This Summer will be Fun.
Take care,
Have fun,
Dave

Re: How's the weather?
Good for your Mum Dave. Gardening helps keep you young, get's you out there with nature. My Mom always had a garden, finally gave it up at 100 when we moved her into an assisted care facility. Your Dad too, I like that Dumas Bird dog. 40" span is no little bird.
Spring breaking out here too. I took this picture this morning and caught a Red bud in Bloom. They are sprinkled all over West Virginia.

Re: How's the weather?
Hi Bob,
I am somehow relishing being in the right place, at the right time...
When I find where Mum put the camera,
I will learn how to post pictures here.
It has a video function. I have the tripod.
I am currently training three clans of Chipmunks...
For 'Chipmunk Wars !'
This Summer will be Fun !
