The rest of the snow is rapidly melting off of the tin roof.. I can hear it dripping onto the plastic covering the window a/c unit next to my recliner. There are only patches of snow left on the ground. We went to the local grocer and the roads are bone dry. The bridge is just wet. Winter has come and gone.

Don't count on it! 🤣

Things are warming up in my part of Minnesota.
It's partly cloudy this morning
The temp is + 5°F (-15°C)
The wind speed is SE 7 mph and the wind chill is -7°F (-22°C)
The high is predicted to be +25°F.

This sure beats the intensely cold minus zero weather we recently had.

-8 but on a warming trend

Still windy though. Not sure what the -8 reminds me of

Perhaps a snowman with a misplaced carrot LOL

This just in, seems I am keeping the starlings warm too

Can't shoot them off the smoke stack, as no safe area beyond the target.

My chimney comes through the wall at 5' then there is 9' to get it up above the roof. I have a 10' step ladder that I can lean against the shop to reach everything. I'm going to leave the expanded metal screen out of the top hat. I think I will routinely do a clean out at the end of the season for the build up and at the beginning of the season to remove any campers. I could even put a cover over the top during the warm months to keep critters out.
Plus My chimney is only 6" pipe, much lighter to handle.

Back down to 6 degrees today.
Probably gonna need a pair of socks with the Flip Flops today.

Snow is gone.. 51 degrees and sun shine out right now.
We drove into Troy this morning. It was funny to see snowmen in yards of grass.... no sign that was ever any snow in the yards.

It was 8f this morning at my house when I left to go to my appointment at 0730.

Hurray.... it's +27 F outside and I am basking in the warmth.
That's is a 54 degree change from the -27 F we recently experienced.
No deep winter coat today just uninsulated leather gloves and a 3 season jacket !

We just finished nearly 48 hours without any power, due to basically, no wind (SDG&E claims we had them).
So glad to not have to pour expensive aviation fuel into a generator.

My Buck Rail Avenger tactical conversion kit barely even made it out of the gate. USPS picked it up and I immediately got an alert that it would be arriving late due to weather. ETA is Monday 27th.

Whoo-Hoo!
Heat wave.
Currently 20f at 07:00 with a predicted high of 35!!!

Back_Roads · « **Reply #171 on:** January 25, 2025, 08:32:29 AM »

18f I was able to sleep a few more hours as the wood I tossed in the fire at 12am was still giving ample heat at 6 am.

Predicted 31f for today's high I think I will play with airguns outside a bit today

23 here now and headed for low 50s. All the snow is gone now. Last night was the last time I expect to drip the faucets. I need to go down to the barn and make sure the pipe is good... it's still connected to my water bill for now.
I'm taking a 3 or 4 hour road trip this morning so the cold won't be bothering me none.

Bill, Hope you didn't forget how to drive in the snow.

avator · « **Reply #175 on:** January 25, 2025, 09:17:30 AM »

Snow is all gone. The roads are dry. Just cold down here in these parts but that will be gone soon too. All there is to worry about now is all the crazy Yankee drivers.

Matchstickshooter · « **Reply #176 on:** January 25, 2025, 09:23:15 AM »

Got up at 5 am and it was -9 now it's up to -3...

Still freezing down here in Flarda!

Privateer · « **Reply #178 on:** January 25, 2025, 03:14:39 PM »

Woo Hoo! Cadillac doors are unfrozen today! I wiped the rubber weather seals down with vaseline petroleum jelly to avoid a new freeze out.

Scott, that picture sure made me a chuckle.
I have owned and driven 4x4's much of my life. My last one was a 2004 Dodge Power Wagon.
The four wheel drive will lull you into thinking you can drive much faster that you should.
Around here, it is the folks driving a 4x4 way too fast that cause a lot of the crashes.
I have seen 4x4s going up interstate 35 at around 80mph on iced over roads.
Then the next thing you see is them spinning out, then going down in the ditch and thru a chain link fence in a big spray of snow.
