Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[RanchRoper]

Might hit 40 later. Thinking about a range trip...

[cooperhawk]

Our range has been closed due to ice and heavy snow for a while. Going into withdrawals. Should reopen this week and I'm ready.

38. Maybe 62 later. THEN ................starting the week in the 70's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep - upper 50's all this week - just learned our February snow was the most in history - ever. Down to about a foot on the flats but about 3' between my shop and house (roof run off) and still no water but I have been talking to the experts and they FIRMLY believe it is nothing more than a case of silt/sand plugging. The silt is at the bottom of the foot valve which suggests once the well filled with sand I was sucking sand and keeping it at the level of the bottom of the valve - which makes sense. Also a guy I know knowledgeable in wells said there is NO WAY I am out of water - this 'valley' I live in is literally waterlogged - two rivers and I am in the middle of them and being in winter water tables are as high as ever - conclusion ? I need a 'bailout' and have a guy to call to discuss it. The problem is snow and if he can get a truck to my well head to suck it out. It may be another week or so until It clears enough to get a truck behind my house to the well head.

Reminds me of a time when part of the Florida Panhandle, that I had family in, was out of power for 3 days in the Winter. From that point on, I have made sure I have had a primary and secondary forms of heat. Water, that is a biggie.

Be real good to hear how deep that well actually is after being pumped out. I was thinking the same thing earlier with you being between the two branches of the Deschutes.

Ya! And it actually got to maybe 66, 67 today. So I spent some time on the back deck warming bones in the sun! Got a good warm soak. Looking forward to more. Wishing everyone else a speedy spring warmup! May your snow and ice melt quickly!

I feel for ya Ed...yuk! Bet you've had about enough of that by now, but I guess you may be used to it.

[Mistered]

but I guess you may be used to it.

Not when we get this much in such a short amount of time. It was reported this was the most snow recorded in February - ever.

Yes, even down here in NC, we broke the all time record for rain fall. Mud slides, downed trees and all!

Reminds me of the snow depth we used to get in K.Falls when I was a kid.

34 and sunny. Maybe 68 later - YESSSS!!!

[cooperhawk]

I like Irish Coffee, but I also like it in hot chocolate. Just a little dab of Makers Mark makes things better.
It's warming up now but we have a ton of snow and ice to melt yet. Major flooding predicted.

(Course we live on a hill side so not so much a problem for us.)

48F today. Nice!
