Staying cold here so far.
Staying cold here so far.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Supposed to begin raining here in the late afternoon or early evening and rain right on through Tuesday. Highs will be in the low sixties.
And then it then moves on to us. Been a little rainier than past years here, but it's a dry rain.Originally Posted by KJ6BSO

Roads have been insane here, they iced up more than usual in the Front Range. Many here in CO think it's OK to use all season tires. No, not when it turns to ice. Stay off the roads if you slide and/or can't handle a skidding vehicle. Get some decent tires if you have to drive in true winter conditions, no matter what.
For instance, the "studly" and "siped" winter tires on my 'lil Integra beater commuter:

Huh. I tried doing that to my tires, but after I pounded in the first rivet, the tire went flat. Who Gnu?

Still cold here in Ohio. I am finding Honda transmissions seem to have issues when it is cold.

Man-o-man. It's been raining like a cow standing on a flat roof for the last several days. The snow in the upper elevations will be good for spring run off, and this storm looks like it will bring some very good ski conditions for our friends in Colorado. I think the Pope has been receiving some of this holy water from hell, too. I like the rain, but with all we've gotten in the last month or so, the weeds and wild growth will become a real fire hazard this summer. I expect this will be one of Arizona's worse fire seasons in some time. It has also caused a delay on tiling the kitchen. I've only got a few hours left to go, but can't put the saw out and make all the cuts needed.
Maybe a little cw is in order.........

Yeah, most definitely. Haven't had a chance to get out to the rain gauge yet (no fancy-ass remote reading gauge here, just a clear plastic tube with a decimal inch scale screen printed on the side) but I know it has to have rained close to two inches over the duration of the storm. That's a lot of water out of a single storm in this semi-arid part of the world.
