Walked out this morning and this is what I found. Of course it was 70 degrees on Sunday. North Carolina has some weird weather.
Wazzat on those trees? Leaves? Leaves in January? Don't those trees know it's winter? I think your trees are even more wierd than your weather, which looks perfectly normal to me.... I suppose you even have bees and flies in winter too?
Like I said it was in the 70's last weekend and now this. I wish the leaves would just drop. I'm getting tired of having to blow them into the neighbors yard. At least when I was in PA the leaves would be there then a day later they would just drop, much better...
You guys get alittle white stuff and you freak. You oughta live near lake Erie or Michigan if you want snow. Tonights forcast here. Snow on top of the stuff already and 0 degrees. Come on up and enjoy the weather !
I'm not freaking. I'm from the mountains of PA. But it's not 70 there then a couple of days later you get hit with snow. And the worst part of the whole thing is I have no problems driving in this stuff. Kinda enjoy it really. But the southerners can't and the city shuts down. It's really crazy. And the******s with the SUVs think they're invinceable in it. They drive just like it's a normal day. That is until the person in front of them is going 5 mph. Saw like three of those on the way to work.

Hehehe. zman, I know what you're feeling. I'm originally from Rochester, NY & we used to get snow by the foot (literally). Not a big deal. It just got plowed away and that was that. I loved taking my Wrangler out in two wheel drive and dirt tracking it around corners Now I'm out in Seattle. We got three inches early Tuesday morning and the damn city all but shut down! I believe the entire city has three snow plows. It was fun until the 40 degree following day. Slush up to your ankles. Ugh!
We woke on new years day to snow it last 3 days then sleat for 2 days then a day and half of freazing rain my steet is a ice rink and I dont have any skates. My pregnet wife is going stir crazy with cabin feaver and my 4x4 has no front drive shaft. Good thing I work from home. heres the most resent picture I have....Danny
Oregon got a rare snow followed by even rarer (once every 10-12 years) freezing rain so I have a 22 acre ice rink and nothing to spin donuts with. my shop has 14 ft. steel sliding doors with 10 inches of solid ice locking them closed. I guess this spring I'll add a man door to get to my tools when I need them
This past Sun-Mon, or maybe it was Mon-Tue, the temp dropped approx 60 degrees in a 24hr period. Went from 70 at noon one day to 7 at noon the next. Welcome to Missouri. If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes, it'll change.
Although this winter has had little snow, the pics of my playground, the tin farm are normal winter scenes and guys wonder why I am not real crazy about getting parts for them in the winter. You can see the snow but you can't see the cold. Nutz
It was a balmy -18F here this morning; forecast says maybe -30 tonight. I can watch the fuel level gauge on the oil tank drop in this weather. Sort of like when I want to have fun with the 396 and burn $80 in a few hours. I think I will stay home tomorrow and watch the Patriots kick some****ans****.
Better check the antifreeze levels in you're cars!one winter i let a pontiac parisienne i had sit at a buddy's farm over winter,when i was gonna sell it in the spring the bloch had cracked and the motor pissed all over the ground when i started it up.most of us northerners are used to checking our antifreeze every winter ,but if you guys don't usually get it this cold it might not be a bad idea to check it.It 's a really sad death for a motor,that is so preventable.
<font color="green"> No Petejoe, that's not freakin. You want freakin? Come to good ol' Tahlequah, OK the next time a single damn flake falls. You'd swear it's gonna be a blizzard. People display some of the most absurd behavior. Hell, when we were kids in Montana and North Dakota we used to dig out the snow drifts and make forts. Course, then we moved and I haven't seen more than a foot in the last twenty years. I've shown people here a pic of our house in Malta practically burried under a huge snow drift. They usually ask how long were we trapped and how we survived. </font>
new years day from my front porch. about 30" dump in about as many hours. There's a Dodge 1 ton dually in my neighbors drive in the back ground somewhere. Pete
nothing in all of weatherdom, NOTHING, was as weird as the time i woke up to what felt like flies landing on me. i opened my eyes, saw stuff buzzing around that looked like bees, and tried to go back to sleep from the weird dream i thought i was in. as i woke up more, i realized it was real and that HUNDREDS of yellow jackets had filled my room. i got up, got the hell away from the biblical plague in my room. my dad sprayed the room down and sprayed into the hole the bored thru the ceiling from the attic and the ceiling shook. i counted 300 or so dead in the room, and the pile of dead ones that came out of the hole was uncountable. probably a thousand bees. stupifying. remember how i said that while it was cold in CA and warm in OH? well, it caught up with us, it's cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass monkey. i AM getting stuff done though. i've gotten more freebies this last year than jesse james' boys, from the air compressor my dad's business partner didn't need, to the old, but working impact gun my dad doesn't use, to my greatest technological leap yet: HEAT! got me a kerosene space heater, so i can get***** done when it's cold! the car WILL be done, although in smallish increments so as not to die from carbon monoxide from the heater! right on!
