Hey. It's 23 and sunny, feels warm! Got the door open and the dog is laying in his summer spot on the farmers porch.

Weather lady nearly promised that last night would be the coldest night until next winter. It's 4 below right now, hope she was right!

Can't dispute global warming, there used to be over 6000 feet of ice where I currently sit in my house, the causes, well that's where it gets debatable. Don't think humans ruined at least two ice ages.

No, but this time the earth is warming at a much faster rate than any past warming cycles. I think I heard something like its 100 times faster than past changes in the earth temperature.

Who measured it 10000 years ago? It's all based on research and every new scientific study debunks an earlier one, etc...

It should melt in an exponential manner. As more dark earth is exposed is sucks up more sun and retains more heat, etc... like your driveway after a snow fall, may take some time to get that one spot cleared but once you do it melts fast from there on out.

I do my part to try to minimize my carbon footprint, mainly to save money on fuels and to avoid over flowing land fills. However i really tend to question the money trail behind a lot of the global warming rhetoric. That's all.

What's a toque and where do you where it?

 

[Warm_in_NH]

Got it. Must've looked pretty dapper. Did you have the Cape too?

 

[SKIN052]

No cape and the toque was pulled down to about my neck.

 

[Swedishchef]

LOL. Great thread.

WHere I live we have a base of snow over 3 feet deep. That isn't melting fast enough to see tulips in spring.....And March isn't over, it just started! We often can get another 2-3 feet of snow in march.

Stay warm everyone!

Last year we had a winter storm with 22" of new snow on May 2nd. And I remember Missouri got hit last May also.

 

[Warm_in_NH]

4" snow last night. 10-20" tomorrow night.

I'm done. Not even clearing the snow bank from this 4" snow fall. I'll pay for it eventually but I'll feel good about my small stand against winter I'm making today.

 

[Warm_in_NH]

Mid March and the three day has a "Blizzard" and an over night low of 5 below. Really getting done with winter. Now it's just going to really mess with the spring work schedule.

 

[flyingcow]

Warm in NH, i feel your pain. just updated forecast....18 to 24 inches by Thursday noon. Plus 25 to 35mph winds to follow. Going to be a wonderful day to be driving.

 

[Swedishchef]

Ditto here. It will add to my 3-4 foot base in the back yard. YAY.

 

[Frozen Canuck]

It will add to my 3-4 foot base in the back yard.

Kids must be loving that. Has one tried jumping off the deck railing into the snow yet?

 

[Warm_in_NH]

My yard is like a walled fortress with snow blown paths to the shed, garage, wood pile, fire pit, compost, etc...
The play time with the dog now consists of throwing the ball into a other part of the path and watching him evaluate the routes to get there and generally picking the shortest path. Sad really...but we have fun.

 

[flyingcow]

Because of the colder than normal temps the last few weeks plus this storm.....when the thaw comes it's not going to be nice. glad I'm not in the flood zones.

 

[Swedishchef]

Kids must be loving that. Has one tried jumping off the deck railing into the snow yet?

Yes indeed. The oldest (3.5) tried jumping off of the deck and realized that since the back yard faces the south, the sun settles the snow and it's not the fluffy powder like we have after a fresh snowfall. "Daddy, that hurt my bum". NOTE: it was only a 1.5 foot drop. LOL

Had to change the cable going to a customers house yesterday. Getting to pole was no fun but I did not even need a ladder at the house, walked up on the back deck onto a 5' snow bank and worked away, lol. +9 and rain tomorrow. Should be fun. I'd rather be wet than cold, but wet and cold, that sucks.

 

[Warm_in_NH]

Whew. First time this winter we came in on the far low end of the forecast. Rain mixed in, a lot of rain. Maybe 6" of snow with a nice 2" layer of slush at the bottom.
But it's 10 degrees and blowing out there now.
Realized that my swollen wrist is from muscling the snow blower around and just felt a little tweak in my back today while fighting it through the slush n ice.
DONE with winter.
Unfortunately thiugh I don't think it's my call as to when winter is done with me.

 

[Swedishchef]

We received about 18 inches and winds of 70km/h.
I have 2-3 hours of work waiting for me tonight outside. yahoo. ugh

 

[flyingcow]

According to the WX we got 21 inches....and then some. Waiting for the winds to drop. Crazy day.
