We Could Talk About The Weather

Cold and shitty, followed by continued cold and shitty tomorrow.

(Thanks Robin Williams, RIP)

Yup on fuel. Food, not so much. Just came out from hometime. Whole time i was home i was sick so didnt get the chance to goto walmart. Company called me out a day early too!

Got thru the ice ok. Had a few cars and suv spin out in front of me. Wish id had the dashcam up and running. Rds are all melted now. Only major delay was waiting for wrecker to pick up a fire dept truck that flipped on i71. Sat for 3h on that mess.

Now i gotta sit til 5am tmw cuz my company moved the appt time for this mess. Oh well

I think you're right. Why right in his neighborhood I'm sure they'll get 40 feet this winter.

Be safe guys! You all should consider moving to a warmer spot, like San Diego. Da' Pope could rent you living space, and I'm sure that Pat will have some job openings at the Crest Radio Museum.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather slide off the road than UNDER it. Welllllll... maybe not.

21.11ºC

Wells Maine. 61 and clear. Winter storm watch up for Weds. 6+ inches expected on Weds aftermoon and evening.

Hope i get the F outta here before then! Lol

Speaking of the weather, if it rains or snows, the leg of my Dipole that is lying on the roof gets compromised and, I cannot use 15 meters, 17, or 30 meters. 10, 20, 40 and 80 meters are still tunable with my Dentron Super Tuner Plus.

When the sun dries the roof, the tuning falls right back on the marks.

Last year we got better than 40 feet. Drifts piled up to rooftop level. Complete whiteout conditions as extremely heavy snow was blown horizontally by 80+ mph winds. Lots of nearby lightning strikes and heavy thunder during a couple of the storms.
