Have some of the snow that we had today. It's sticky around the freezing temp.

Danger said:My heart pumps purple piss for you. Please feel free to come up here and take the 20 tonnes or so of it that are currently occupying my yard.
I have about 10 acres. Plenty of room to store snow. Anybody that is feeling left out is welcome to come get all the snow they want.wolram said:You mean you have room for snow in your back yard?

Every time I open the door, I get hit in the face with a gust of snow (from the wind blowing it). Damn, I should bring the squirrels inside tonight.dlgoff said:You can thank us Kansans for the snow turbo. I got 10" of the puffy stuff before sending up to you. But now the wind is drifting it and blocking my drive. Tonight I looking at -5°F.
I have a old outdoor cat that I let in for a time this afternoon. I didn't let here stay in too long. She is so use to the outdoor temps that it didn't take long before she was too hot. So I let her out and she didn't mind at all. At night she has her place in the chicken house.Evo said:Every time I open the door, I get hit in the face with a gust of snow (from the wind blowing it).

Did you get the problem with the trail guy fixed?turbo-1 said:Well, at least our towns have snow-removal equipment. One of the two newer/larger trucks was laid up a while back. I hope it's back in service now.
The trailmaster managed to remove the obstruction well enough to be able to groom the snow. It's not an isolated incident, though. If the new driver doesn't learn to operate that plow properly, it will cost this little town thousands of dollars to fix the problems he's causing. Many of our back roads are gravel, and without clear ditches to divert the water away from the roads, they can easily be washed out by heavy rain. He's been carelessly plowing gravel from the shoulders into the ditches, and we may have to hire an excavator to clear them in the spring.Evo said:Did you get the problem with the trail guy fixed?

Ivan Seeking said:I was supposed to be up in Seattle today but wasn't about to drive through a snow storm last night.
That was a tough call. It was a very important meeting and the roads may or may not have been okay, but it looks like I made the right call. It was snowing here by 2 PM. Later, it was 31 degrees F and raining.
Digging out the snow blower is just wrong.turbo-1 said:Just back in for a re-hydration break after cleaning off vehicles. Now to dig out the door of my detached garage so I can get my snow-blower out... I hate snow.

The problem with that is the steel cutter on the bucket is pretty rough my my driveway, and after you have made snow-piles at the limit of the loader arms, there's no place left to put more snow. I use it to cut back snow banks so we have visibility in late winter, though. It's a LOT easier than cutting back the banks with a shovel. As you can see, winters can bring some logistics problems here. We don't get extended thaws like some parts of the country.WhoWee said:Snow-blower? Fire up that tractor turbo!

Yes, the Arctic cold front can cause severe weather such as blizzards, heavy snowfall, and strong winds. These weather events can lead to dangerous conditions and potential damage to property.
Yes, the Arctic cold front can cause damage to crops, especially if they are not properly protected. Frost and freezing temperatures can harm crops and delay their growth, leading to potential economic impacts for farmers.
The Arctic cold front forms when a mass of cold air from the Arctic region moves southward, displacing the warmer air in its path. This can occur due to changes in atmospheric pressure and wind patterns.
The duration of the Arctic cold front can vary, but it typically lasts for a few days to a week. However, the impact of the cold front, such as severe weather and crop damage, can last longer depending on the severity of the front.
During an Arctic cold front, it is important to stay informed about weather updates and warnings. It is also crucial to take precautions to protect yourself and your property, such as staying indoors, dressing warmly, and properly insulating your home. Farmers should also take measures to protect their crops from freezing temperatures.
