stavanzer Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 So, If I tell you that is should reach 70 Deg today, you'd be upset? However, it is not the joke I make it out to be. We've had almost no freezing weather, and as an agricultural area, we do need at least a couple hard Freezes to help crops and kill the insects. It will be a miserable, Gnat and Mosquito infested Spring & Summer, otherwise. Ugh. And the Almanac is predicting a hotter than normal Summer. Double Ugh!

Painted Black Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Well, we are not that cold, but for the last four days, when looking out the window all I can see is 10 feet out!! Very miserable stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Not much yet here in the Cleveland area, but more to come in the forecast...I have piles of ice and snow in the center of my driveway from last weeks snow, been putting ice melt on it to reduce it some...24 hrs ago the driveway was clear except for the piles down the center.

Tom Geiger Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Here in Eastern Pennsylvania temperatures have been in the high 20s to hi 30s, often on the same days! This causes issues since we have a good amount of snow and it will melt during the day, then freeze again at night. The snow banks on either side of my driveway are rock solid, but melt some during the day, with water across the pavement.. guess what happens there when it gets cold again? One skating rink. Today and tomorrow we have predictions of freezing rain, then it goes up to the 40s and then two more snow events before the weekend. Slippery mess!

hedotwo Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 We'd been having an unusually dry winter (for us anyway) and hadn't been able to take our snowmobiles out til we had a 12" snowfall a couple of weeks ago. But... the temps dropped like a rock that night and haven't recovered yet, so rather than riding in below zero temps we've been holding off. Hope is coming though. Looks like highs in the 20's by the end of the week so maybe we can finally get out of the house and ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khils Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I work at a utility...in the power plant. Been generating for the past three days. On arrival this morning....real temp @ 4 am was -18. Dropped to -21 just before sunrise....don't give a rat's tail feathers what the feels like could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes everything more difficult. This winter was pretty mild until this last week where it hovered around -10 to 5 degrees .. Still hardly any snow though.

stitchdup Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 We had about a foot of snow here but 50-60 knot winds with it so it was building up in some pretty big drifts. Because of the road conditions the guy that covers days at work were unable to get there so i did a 36 hours shift on the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 It's 3pm and we're in the heat of the day. -2 with a wind chill to -21. Tuesday's high to be 10 and by Wednesday back to 20. We have had the lowest recorded temps for over a week for this area ever. Not bad compared to many others but the longest sustained record low temps for around here. The power company is starting rolling blackouts since the Wind Turbines have frozen up and the blades will not turn. At least it's supposed to get out of the negative temps starting tomorrow. At least it's still snowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Gents, I was mistaken. It only got up to 65 Deg today, and stayed overcast all day. Glad it hasn't snowed here. Last snow in Bakersfield was 1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
