Attachment 2159955 Insurance Adjuster showed up yesterday after lunch to look at the damages to the carport & both garages so once he left I broke the crane out and got it set back down on the ground. It is pretty Jacked up but not a total loss I guess. Hope to hear back from them in next couple days. He said he had about 50 claims he had to go see about over the next few days due to strong winds.

Re: Hey Tim!
A ladder crane truck at home! Please stop showing me things that I haven't even thought to want yet. I could really use one of those.

I don't know about inches, but it looks like you might get the snow and we will get a rain, then less snow. This weather reporting is as accurate as it can be... all things considered. Maryland, the land of many variables. Not just weather. America in miniature (except vast plains) https://www.wbaltv.com/article/partl...-week/38807770 |
Re: Hey Tim!
Barely got a dusting yesterday & last night. nothing on the roads other than a little ice. Calling for at least that much again this evening. :lol:

Re: Hey Tim!
It's been nice here. Cold but nice. I'm hoping that the weather stays clear since I have to drive to LA on the 24th. I'm not looking forward to it.

Re: Hey Tim!
Hey Richard! I hope you are right. But aren't you about due for a nice 12" dusting? :jdp:
Hey Paul! I hope at least the weather's good for that drive into L A. You know if it snows you might have the road to yourself, though I tell you what, it was darn nippy out today. I got new blades for my table saw and miter box, also swapped bits in a router. Had to do that with gloves off. Not so bad at first but the cold started nipping on my fingertips. Had to run back in about half way through each blade/bit swap. The fire in the stove is feeling good. I was going to grille blackened tuna out... there. My buddy George Foreman took care of the grilling instead, right in the kitchen! |

Re: Hey Tim!
Dude, that sounds like no fun. Any chance of you guys finding some common ground? I mean, he's gotten a copy of the will, right? So it shouldn't be new news. Whatever the case, that sounds rough. Make sure you're driving something fun when you head out for LA.

Re: Hey Tim!
Sounds like pure unavoidable dread. Who is everyone? Everyone in his camp? Wife/girlfriend? Only your brother is involved, the peanut gallery is mere vapor here. Just remember that.
Hey Leon! Did you send this crisp cold air over my way? |

Yes I did. We had 12º below the other night with 25mph wind. I think the wind chill was 30º below. Going to get up to 34º here today. I'm headed out to see if I can get the skid loader started to clear a path to the LP tank for the delivery guy. LockDoc |
Re: Hey Tim!
Everything gets harder when it gets so cold. Not a bad day here. 9* this morning. That's not so great, but the house is tight and the woodstove toasty. Got out to do a job (mostly inside) late this morning and the homeowner called to say a last minute family luncheon popped up and she was the hostess. I was about half way there, about to go into Lowe's. I got the piece of oak I needed and went home. I carried out the project involving the oak, which meant a good bit of outside time. Beautiful clear blue sky and it got into the mid-upper 20s, no wind. That's what I'm saying was actually nice. Cold w/o a cap or gloves, but I did what I had to do w/o gloves and got them right back on, usually stinging a bit by then.

It was super windy here last night. Like I've never seen before. It knocked the power out for 16 hours and that killed my pump on my well, so I had no power or water. I have a generator but didn't bother to dig it out of the shed. It's buried in there and it was pitch dark outside and cold. I figured that they would have me up and running by the time I dug it out and went an got gas and all that. Not my best idea but they usually are pretty fast and the lights went out at 7:30 pm. Everything is pretty much closed around here by then. So I waited...And waited... and waited. I learned valuable lesson. I have to be more prepared. I have to get my generator ready to rock and roll at a moments notice and keep more gas around. A buried generator and no gas in the dark is really not much help. And I need more extension cords. I only have one here. That doesn't cut it. I've got plenty at my other place and that generator is propane. I'm good to go there but I wasn't there. I've got to set this place up better than I have. Lesson learned. One funny thing was when the crew showed up that crazy Lab from down the road ran over with his ball. If you throw his ball he will not leave you alone. They found out. They threw it once and he was back in 2 seconds wanting them to throw it again. :lol: That dog never quits. He just loves chasing that ball. They must have thrown it 20 times because he will drop it at your feet and bark until you throw it. :lol: He's a funny dog but If i see him coming with his ball I go inside. :exit: |
Re: Hey Tim!
Hey Leon! Been cold out your way? Looks we'll be seeing some of that Alberta air beginning tonight, single digit cold. We've had a warm up the past couple days, into the mid-40s which is normal. I guess I can keep the ice cream out side tonight. Might get a snow Friday/Saturday. Coastal moisture drifting up the coast mixing with the cold NW air. Hey Richard! It's looking more like one for you than us, if it doesn't end up out over the water and hit new England. Let's hope!

Yes it was, and we are getting it again right now. Temperature is -4º right now with a 9mph wind. That makes the wind chill -21º. It is supposed to be worse in the morning with wind chills -30 to -40. We are suppose to get a break after that. I can't imagine what Eric's would be in Northern Minnesota....:crazy: I just watched the Weatherman Plus on Youtube and he says you guys are supposed to have a Cyclone Bomb next weekend. That doesn't sound too good from what he shows. Includes a little bit of everything.... :( LockDoc |
Re: Hey Tim!
That is some serious cold. Hop a plane and come down here to our balmy teens and single digits. Up home in the mountains will be dipping into the negative rangeI wonder how far Eric is from International Falls. That's the place they always tell us about when the extremes hit. That's how he got to have too much stuff. He shuts the business down and flees for milder weather and junk yards
Never heard that term, Cyclone Bomb. But I can see how they came up with it. We just call them Nor'easters. Arctic blast, which our weather people call the "Alberta Clipper", mixes with a moist low that comes up the coast or up the Appalachian Valley from the gulf of Mexico. The low stalls the cold high right over us with things spinning counter-clockwise (where the Nor-easter term came from. Same spin as a hurricane and on the eastern upward stroke it picks up moisture off the ocean then dumps snow on us (heavy rain in warmer months) on the western downward stroke. I feel like I've gotten a better understanding of how our weather works, after all these years. Not that it changes anything. Like ole Dave Arterburn used to say, "We're gettin' it weather we want it or not". |
Re: Hey Tim!
I hope they are as accurate as last weeks forecast. over the 3 day period we were supposed to get roughly 6" of snow and I barely got 1.5" total. If we are not going to get at least 6" I don't want any. Plow don't make no money sitting in the yard for sure. I hope we don't get any high winds again, carport still not tied down from last round. Was hoping to hear back from insurance by now so I know whether I have to patch it up and reuse it or order a new one.

Hey Tim you may be right. Look at this model that was just posted on local weather. They are saying probably 8" but could be as much as 25" for Salisbury.

Re: Hey Tim!
I was in LA the last couple of days. Beautiful weather. Nice and warm. I was dressed for cold weather and everyone else was in T shirts.
I stayed in probably the worst motel ever. It looked good on the internet. It wasn't. When Tom Bodett says He'll leave the light on for you I think he means the security light. But nothing was stolen and it was close to a bunch of really good places to eat. I ate like a pig. :) All in all we didn't have a bad time. It was nice seeing the old neighborhood. But I accomplished nothing. Total waste of time and gas. I wanted to settle things fairly. But you can't pick your relatives. No dice. |
