I do not know which one of you boys up North left the door open and blew the pilot light out but this is not funny. Twice today I had to pry frozen logs up off of my saw deck. I had to put anchor seal on my deck to kee the cants from freezing to it. Now someone close the door and light the stove!

Sorry about that, but I think it was Paul over in B.C. who sent the cold weather over here. It was nice until this week

Snowed and blowed all day today and only got just a fuzz off zero. Hard to tell how much snow we got as it all blew around into piles. I can't tell the temp right now because the thermometer is dusted over and no I'm not going out to knock the snow off it. At least the snow has tapered off

Jeff · « **Reply #8 on:** January 06, 2004, 08:26:19 pm »

Those BC boys are always just itchin for a scrap. He did it on purpose I can tell.

Paul_H · « **Reply #9 on:** January 06, 2004, 08:32:18 pm »

Might have to Bill.

I've been looking at my firewood pile rapidly disappearing and have been eyeing up my neighbors siding.It's been windy enough he might not suspect me.(I'd leave the side facing my place).

We just got a system in from Hawaii that turned to snow when it hit the Arctic outflow from Andy's place.

Well Paul.........if us Oregon boys sent it to you.........do you want to know whats coming next? FREEEEEEEEZing RAIN.

Spent an hour this am (4:00--5:00) de-icing the car to take the wife to work. Heard several large Dougla-fir trees and probably a few deciduos branches breaking and coming down. Waiting for light so I can go see how the neighbors faired. Sounded like one may have impacted a building.

Besides, a couple of months ago when you had the severe flooding.........Frank said we would help.........were just keeping our word, as the flooding will start upon melting here in the next couple of days. Know this storm was earmarked for you Canadians, Frank felt sorry for ya and diverted here.

Oops, I think he did not intend this much tho

With snow accumulation and ice ...........Frank probably has close to a couple of feet by now.

You are just about right on that Stephen, for the amt. of white stuff laying around. The branches are really drooping here this moring as the light of day begins to show through the clouds. We have had onnly one major bump so far. This Silver thaw stuff is realy dangerous to have to drive on or through. :-/

All of the radar and satalite pictrures Ihave seen are showing the storms comeing out of the pinapple country, picking up moisture and moveing up across Northern California and then into Oregon. I have been thinking of Tillaway, working in the Astoria area at the mouth of the Columbia river and his family still in Northern California and all this bad weather. The highway people have closed several stretches of our two major highways; I 84 from Portland to Hood River (about 50 miles) and Eugene to Roseburg, on I 5 that runs North and South.
Our temps have warmed to around 28* this morning. Setting at about 1,000 feet I think we will be a bit later than most in being warmed above freezing today or tomorrow.

Paul_H · « **Reply #15 on:** January 07, 2004, 08:40:35 am »

We have only got about 5" of snow in the past 24 hours and it's still around 4⁰F.

I hope you don't get a major silver thaw.We had one about 30 years ago and it was cool to watch the Alder trees crash to the ground like glass sculptures but what a mess afterwards.It took a long time to clean up.

RavioliKid · « **Reply #16 on:** January 07, 2004, 10:02:46 am »

Well, all I have to say is THANK YOU to whomever sent the snow and cold to Kalamazoo. We have a SNOW DAY!

Snow day, snow day,
Blessed, joyous snow day!

Two of the sweetest word in the whole wild world!

It has been a bit colder here than it was in VA, but I'm not complaining, it has been a whole lot worse. :-/

Just think how much money you save on sun screen, bug repellent, and ice for the water jug. Logs are frozen solidly now making for more consistent sawing. I bet Tom is miserable sawing in all that heat and humidity plus having to fight the bugs.

I had a pleasant breeze today that kept the sawdust out of my eyes and also kept the wind chill in the single digits so I wouldn’t get overheated.

I give slabs to the neighbor’s cause I don’t want to mess with them most of the time. Another few weeks and I won’t have a slab left.
