I don't know how you guys do it. Just went out to dewater the lab at 13* here at the house. Damn that's cold. Even he didn't want to stay out long.

Hey John. Looks like you were right. Swapped out the coil from the 365 to the 350 last night and nice bright spark. Like a purplish/white. Will try running it today when it gets a little later. A bit early here yet for that.

I wouldn't rely on that weather station at all for up here , looks like they're using a Huskey powered server for predictions .

They be calling for 8-12 here starting tonight through Sunday night (on top o the 6-8 we already have on da ground.

It's been windy and drifting, but luckily not enough on da ground to get too high.

The HIGH temps on Monday and Tuesday are suppose to be -10 to -17 F!

Couple that with a bunch O' wind,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, better get out to the shed and git me snow blower hookled up to the old Bolens eh?

We have dodged the bullet around here since 1978!

78 was the nastiest winter I ever seen ! Blizzard killed off most of the animals around here too. Quail never did come back ! Took a week before we could get out of the house ! Had just put a wood stove in the year before ! Not sure what we would have done without that !! Letric was off for a very long time ! Don't ever want to see that again !

 

[roncoinc]

I guess everybody feeling it this winter.

dunno what i would do if i didnt have a saw and burned wood ??

be a heck of a heating oil bill !!

YUP! '78 was a biotch.

Totally flat around here and there were 20 foot drifts everywhere.

Lots of folks had to get out by climbing out a second story window!

It was blowin' and howlin' so bad don't think they ever had an accurate measure of the TRUE snowfall total?

 

[sefh3]

Mornin everyone!!
They just put us under a winter storm watch for tonight and tomorrow. 6-12" of fresh new snow heading this way.

Best wood I ever burnt was standing dead maple......beavers had dammed up about a 15-20 acre pond......drowned the forest.....killed off a stand of huge solid cedar.......-15F.....3' of snow on the ground...we bulldozed a 2 mile road back into the pond...to cut the cedar for my sawmill partner to build his log cabin. Dropped that stuff on the ice and all the limbs blew right off it......walk right along....limb the nubs....cut to length.....no dirt or rocks to dull the chains....same with the maple that was mixed in.....no bark on it, dried hard as a rock.....had that perfectly seasoned salmon color maple gets......man that stuff burned with a blue flame....just like coal. We had a 1942 Army 2 ton 4X4, dual wheels, 12' rack body dump.....235 Chevy six....we would load 14' cedar logs as high as we could pile....chain bind down. Had dual chains on the rear and single chains on front...drive out to the tar.....had a flat spot just before the road...unhook all 4 chains....drive right out of them....leave them there.....down the road 20 miles to our mill....dump in front of the log deck....back down the road 20 miles.....back back onto/into the chains... connect up...turn around...take up on the chains again and do it all over again......we hauled 20,000 BFT of 14' cedar logs out of there and 10 cord of maple, cut 4' in two weekends.....all loaded by hand.....LOL!! Those were younger days I guess.....came out after dark all four days....49SP strapped down on one front fender....70E strapped down on the other.....gas and oil sitting out front on the winch bumper.....them old army rigs had real narrow cabs.....only just enough room for both of us...lunch boxes, wood hooks, chains and tools etc. inside...

Was that old truck a CMP C60 ? Pug front with the engine back under the cab, they were a hoot.

Luv the old COEs!

Had a '63 chevy van back in the late '70s, 50s all around and extra leaf springs on all four corners.

283 Corvette engine 3 on da tree, it was the only vehicle I ever owned (and I have owned some fast ones)

That would consistently pull 3- 4 foot wheelies!

 

[farrell]

Mornin fellas!

10 degrees here this mornin

Suppose to warm up to 32 today

Got to take down the tree today

Not sure what else is on the agenda?

Yep that was the winter of 77-78 that I told the story about, early this morning.. cutting standing dead cedar and maple on the beaver flowage, ....so much snow that we had to bulldoze a road in.....but the pond was completely clear of snow it blew so hard.....that was the first winter on my shiny new 49SP.....bought it in April 77.....
