Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Mags]

50' and cloudy this morning. Some sun busting through now. The pine apple express has been passing South of here, but it is expected to swing North to us about midnight. The predicted rainfall is expected to bring some flooding.

11PM Sat Dec 6 .... just notified that we are under a rather unique weather alert until 9AM in the morning .... with our current temp of 38 and dropping and heavy fog moving in, we are under a "Freezing Fog Advisory" .... while I'm sure it has happened her at some time in the past, I don't remember it

That can get ugly. Watch your step.

Good morning, 36 and foggy out this AM.
Well, yesterday I stayed til around 10:30 and saw no deer. Did spot a couple squirrels in a big oak on the far side of the lot while glassing that fence row.
Moved to a different part of the farm this afternoon, had a fair looking 6 point walk by at 30ish yards, but I let him pass. Even though it would have been a chip shot for the SBH. I did look at him for a minute or so through the scope.
I sent a short video to the #2 grandson, he promptly responded with, "what time was that?"
So I may end up getting a closeup of him in the near future, anyway... (rofl)

Here in the PNW it’s 34 and overcast. Decent day yesterday with some sunshine in the afternoon. Today will bring more rain but warmer temps in the low 40’s. Mild and rainy most of the week with temps back below freezing overnight later in the week. I’m going to watch the Seahawks take on the Falcons this morning but not sure what the afternoon will bring.

My son came over yesterday and we knocked out this simple but effective rack for my presto logs. It’s temporary and next spring I’ll unscrew it and have some lumbar scraps on hand. That’s always good.

45 degrees this morning. Looks like rain staying south of us today. May drizzle most of day. Granddaughter saw 2 does and 2 little ones yesterday morning. Said she watched the little ones playing. I told her she did good. I know some folks that would have shot them. Same folks I quit hunting with long time ago.

[Mags]

49' and windy this morning. Rain comes and goes. Maybe 58' later.

[Ernie]

Topped out at 31º today. Blew 3 inches of new snow and got some work done on the wood working bench. Got the stringers jointed, next plane to size then start prepping the rough cut ash for the top. Want to finish this project before spring.

Looks good. I burn presto-logs too.
It was -9F this morning.
Go Packers!

Thanks Hatch, I like the rack, simple and effective.

graywolf, the avatar, it looks like something from the Henry FB page??
Pretty cool, where ever it came from.

Ernie, slow and easy, I would imagine?

38 right now heading to the low 40’s with more rain today and most of the week. The storm coming in today is bringing some winds. For my area it’s 25-30 sustained with gusts to 40. Not too bad but could cause some trees to uproot due to the saturated ground. If it were colder we would be measuring the snow in feet. I’m fine with the rain, no plowing required.

A couple small projects in the shop otherwise another day in the life.

[Sir Henry]

9F in Madison. I’m here at the VA Hospital doing tests all day.

[daytime dave]

It was 1 F when I took the dog out. It's a blistering 12 F now.
Coffee in the Farmall mug with gingerbread house cake this am.
I picked up a lithium battery jump pack. Going to charge it up and look over the instructions.

I hope you all have a great day.

[fortyshooter]

And another snow storm getting cranked up out here today and maybe 3-6 inches. We are on a roll for snow so far!

I've had of those for a couple of years and they really work great.
I think everyone who lives in cold weather should carry one in their vehicle.

41 at 11AM and that's as high as they predict our temp will rise all day .... as was the case a couple of days ago, ice/snow is mentioned in today's forecast and is the case once again, changes are taking place .... last time schools started on a 2 hr delay .... this time they are going to let out 2 hr early .... "Snow expected. Total snow accumulations ranging from around half inch across the Triad and Triangle regions and up to 2 inches near the NC/VA border. Plan on slippery road conditions. In addition, any remaining snow or moisture on area roads and sidewalks will freeze, producing hazardous travel into Tuesday morning." .... while they could be right, I believe we wil get the cold but I tend to believe that the ice/snow will fall well north of us

54' and steady rain this morning. Maybe 57' later. Feels like Spring.
