Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not but a few brief flurries about a month ago here, so far. These storms coming across are bringing rain chances at some point of each day this week. It will come, but not yet anyway.
The mid-Atlantic can be an odd place for weather. Truly an "If you don't like the weather today, wait till tomorrow" kind of place. We can get warm moist air drifting up from the Gulf of Mexico, we can get what the weathermen call an Alberta Clipper, not to mention the polar vortex events in more recent years. We get eastern air currents the drift marine air into us where it is damp and cool for days, much like the NW coast. We get nor'easters where the eastern air flow combines with a northwestern cold front and that is the recipe for our largest snows. Also get big snows if a NW cold front mixes in with and overpowers a gulf air flow. Sometimes the gulf air flow overpowers a weaker NW front and it might just sleet or freezing rain. We truly get it all when it comes to precip. It seems to happen a lot where we get our driest crisp and coldest air and clear skies for days, only to have the gulf air warm it up and rain. I hate that about here. I'd rather have snow than 40-degree rain.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
that's awful interesting stuff,especially when you know the story.here where i live was once a booming coal mine town,this whole area for miles around.you can't walk anywhere in the woods without seeing bright orange signs posted on trees,warning of open holes in the ground,left over from the coal mines.the problem was,most of the men here worked in the mines,then came home and dug what they called a "bootleg pit" anywhere they figured there was coal.there's holes all over the place.i did just see a drawing of a commercial coal mine that wasn't far from the house,in about 1900,the drawing showed all the shafts,they went down 3300 feet and turned out and worked under the ocean floor??can't imagine?i thought truckin was tough?that's when men were men.

That is what it is looking like here right now. We got a little snow first but it didn't stick to the vehicles and now they are covered in ice. It is still doing the freezing rain thing.... I hope it quits soon. LockDoc

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yup it was crusted on the truck so I ran it for a while to warm it . Rolled the window down and pushed it off with the snow brush.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
And it suppose to be the same tonight about an inch of snow then changing to freezing rain on top of that ,could bring down some limbs and therefore power lines.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I hate freezing rain. There is nothing you can do but watch it build up and hope it stops or warms up. It will take powerlines down at 1/4". Did I mention I hate it? I've seen a lot of concrete sidewalk ruined by trying to chop it off with digging bars, axes, whatever. It could be melted off the next day.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I finished up the last of my christmas ornaments the other day. A couple ladies from work ordered them. And I finished up the first 2 carbon fiber Radio control car bodies for straight line record runs for a friend in TX. Supposed to do 150-160 mph so I'm told.

I checked up on sleeping beauty while at the mini storage. It’s collecting some dust, working on my own barn find….

We’ve had snow and rain for a week here, with another week to come. I’m tired of it. You get spoiled by 310+ days of sun a year.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
your getting most of it in two weeks! It has been dry here for a good while. We have a good chance for rain every day this week, but it's just brief showers. Heck, New Years Day it will be 60 or so. But... Monday they are calling for high of 37* and snow. I believe some Tuesday as well
