Dan,

After the winter we had last year, how can you ask such a question.  Or ARE YOU GETTING OLD LIKE THE REST OF US? ;D :o ::) ;D :o ::) ;D :o ::) :D :D :D :D :D :D

I guess I'll be going off the air for a while. We lost electricity here now. Wind is still roaring but I just caught the news before the lights went out that they were beginning to calm. I was going to post some video that I took. Icey and I just went for a ride and took but it will have to wait as I want to save my batteries in case I need them.  Saw something I've never saw occur here before. The freighters are stacking up in the Saint Marys river coming down bound from Superior and the Soo locks. All sorts of them anchored out around Lime Island and the other islands waiting out the storm.

That wasn't long. Electric is back. They must have shut it down just long enough to get the dead spruce off from the wires I saw just down the road.

Short video montage of driving around the block here at the cabin.  Checked a little bay that is usually calm where we swim on North end of Lake Huron. It's hardly ever rough. It was today. Went on in to Detour where its protected more from the current wind direction. Then on to Raber Bay over looking Lime Island. Again, protected from the wind

Storm must have blown itself out just a few light showers and little wind here on the east coast. Frank C.

Mary and I sawed today.  Wind in the 20s and gusting in the 30s.  No fun but we got in a good day's work.  Tomorrow?  Higher winds and 20° cooler.  Probably won't get much done.

Swamp, this snow is so wet that you can't ride on top of it, you just seem to cut right through to the slush layer that is on the bottom.  Temps are supposed to drop down to -14 Celcius here tonight but will slowly rise through the weekend.  They are claiming that by tuesday there is supposed to be a high of 12 above Celcius during the day.  I am thinking that this snow will mostly be gone by the end of next week cuz Indian Summer is on the way.  ;D

Still bad hot here in Louisiana and worse in Georgia.  Set a record today in Georgia at my home at 89 degrees.  Bad crazy.

It's been blowing bad here the last two days, the grain elevator I've been hauling corn to sits on top of what has to be the windiest wide open hill in the county.  they keep track of the wind speed there yesterday it hit 73mph and today the top was 74.  He said it stayed between 50 and 60 for a long time today.  I beleive him because I got out my truck on one trip, it truly was hard to stand up straight.  Hope we're not sending any of this your way Jeff, sounds like you folks could use a break.

WOW,................ it has been beautiful here, mild for October and sunny and warm. Been going gang busters getting outside work done before the winter weather comes.

We did get 2/10 during the day yesterday and another 2/10 last night. Cleared out here and going to be mild. Tomorrow night dipping to 29F but still nice weather ahead. Still some shine in that old moon, since full phase on Saturday. ;D

Not a lot of wind in WV, and thank goodness for the rain! Seems each year about this time forest fires "mysteriously begin" for no apparant reason. The rain last week slowed them down, but the rain yesterday did the job. Thank you Lord! Sure sorry for you guys around us because it looks like some really got hammered.
Since I retired I really like work: It fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

I hope we get some real rain here soon too.  Deer season has started and people tend to build camp fires and such.  Also people think they need to burn leaves.  The woods are far too dry and now the wind up, there could be some wild fires.

It got quite windy here too, just got my power back on it went out early tuesday morning. Was a lot better off then many other folks due to the good old trusty woodstove, large assortment of kerosene lamps, and generator to keep the freezer and fridge going. My weather station here said 27.22 hg for the barometric pressure which is the lowest I have ever seen it read. I couldn't believe the noise the wind made it was just steady all day all night for 48 hrs. Was pretty sad as I walked back in the woods today to see what the damage was, found I lost one the biggest trees on the property here a massive old white spruce. Now its leaning at a 45 degree angle into some cedar pole timber. Lots of other damage, trees down all over a little bit of everything.
