That is just crazy lol.

Why is everybody ordering kids shoelaces?

Mine isn't quite that easy. As opposed to Chill, I am in a saddle with two roads above me. My property (3.5 acres) is pie shaped and HEAVILY wooded. I can push everything to the edges of the woods and then across what was to be another road on my left into a holler. I have cut two white oaks and 8 ash trees that were dead standing last two years for firewood, have 3 locust and probably another 3-4 ash to get down....and you can't tell where I cut except for the stumps. BTW, that is all that is dying up here, ash, locust and white oaks. Neighbors are same, I knew about the ash, but the white oaks and locust surprised me.

Ditto here. I still mow them towards the edges of the yard and into the woods, but a good bit gets finely mulched into the yard. Still end up raking a couple times to rid the yard of the 10 trillion acorns from the oaks.

Great game plan!

I like the 72-85% stuff, above that...nope. I have become addicted lately to Reese's dark chocolate peanut butter cups, cold from the fridge......yummy!!!

Foggy, foggy, foggy!!!!

'They' may be more inclusive, but definitely have no idea what they are doing that far out, still agree with psu.

That is some pretty thick ice

I average 27 inches, they have me smack in the middle of 48-60...so they are saying double?? They should take psuhoff's advice. And I agree, if they are saying double, then double 'Shoe's and Canaan's and make a 200-300 line lol.

Wait....you mean there ARE semi-normal people here?

Wonderful day here, 40's, breezy, cloudy with a few sprinkles from time to time. Only way to make it better would be for it to be 10 degrees colder with flurries instead of the sprinkles.

I won't complain to much, have grass seed just pushing up so a few warmish days may help it along.

Ssshhhhhhh.....

Posting from the ark? Just 0.50 here, a little wind and chilly. The 44.0 degree high is a new record 'cool max' for the date, beating 2005's 47.0 reading. That is the 2nd cool max of the month (22nd), first time that has happened in a good while.

I need to find a class then, 2011 last time for me.

Another freezing night here (30.3), only 46.5 degrees out there at 1:15 pm and the clouds have swung in. That should lock the high (and low) in for the day. Only chance of a bit warmer afternoon is that the winds have veered to SW at 2-3 mph.

When it acts like October

^^^This^^^ Low was 27.9 degrees, second morning below freezing. High of 47.4 degrees broke the 'cool max' for the date, beating 1988's 49 degree reading.

Had a 42 mph gust just after midnight here. Love looking at the cameras....'Shoe, Canaan, Wisp winners Snow up in Highland county on 511 camera too.

I thought those were the little red and white triangular pills from the 70's.....

Almost 25 degrees warmer than this time yesterday. Currently 56.4 degrees. That was a nice fall.

'Back in the day' Mr Daniel's black label seemed to cure about everything for me.
