Wish we had 48" of snow!

 

Same here, we have been brown pretty much all winter. We could use some/any moisture. We are suppose to have a chance of some next week but if it's like the others it will miss us.

I just seen a dozen or so geese down in my corn stocks this week. A little early I thought but this month is flying by so fast it is almost March.

Due to heavy snow and bad slush we cancelled our fishing trip to Canada. Decided to go to the hunting shack. 40mph winds and more snow. Only made it 200yds in my truck. Had to back out. Came back to town and stayed at a relatives lake cabin.

[Fishfiles 20,145]

It's 58 degrees this morning at daybreak , that's great weather to do some work in , so I get dress and go outside and it is raining , bummer must have rained a  lot last night as the ground is soaked ----- we are  suppose to catch a Mardi Gras Parade today with the granddaughter

We got a little ice here late last week.  Not bad where I live, but 30 miles North where my wife is from they got a ton of ice, trees down, no electricity for most of the town. 

 

So I've had the Father in Law with us since Thursday as his power was out.  Saturday morning he wanted to go get his generator out and hook it up for his fridge and freezer, so I went to help him dig it out of his garage.

 

"How long has it been since you ran it?"

 

Couple of years.

 

"Did you drain the gas out of it when you put it up"

 

No

 

"Did you at least use ethanol free gas in it like we discussed when I had to clean your chainsaw carb, since that cheap crappy gas will clog a carb on any small engine if you let it sit?"

 

Nope.

 

So of course, I got to spend a couple of hours messing with his generator to get it running.  It's an "HQ" from Sportsmans Guide, which is a Champion.  Had a cheap china plug in it so would barely fire on starter fluid at first.  Had to go to the store and get a spark plug socket and NGK plug for it, and then take the carb off and clean it to get it running.  Always nice doing that kinda work in a drizzle when it's 33 degrees outside.

It was a little over 60 here today. It was nice working outside in a short sleeve shirt. Sounds like we might be paying for the nice weather by the weekend though, a system is moving in and bringing much needed moisture. I just hope it's not the ice.

[jeepwm69 7,602]

My father in law finally got power back yesterday from the ice storm late last week.  Got to 72 here.  Wife was ! about mosquitos biting her while she was outside with the little one.

[ATC4ever 1,078]

Solar Flare on the way 

 

Earth may be hit with a blast from the Sun very soon
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has observed a recent blast from the Sun that could deal Earth a blow in the coming days.

 

 

 

According to the report, the CME departed the Sun on March 7, 2022 and is expected to hit Earth on sometime on March 10. The coronal mass ejection is expected to cause relatively weak geomagnetic storms at a rating of G-1, which means there little chance that satellites and electric grids will be taken offline by the storm.

While the storm is expected to be weak, there is still the increased chance for auroras to be spotted in the night sky. Previous Sun blasts have caused auroras to be spotted across Europe, Scandinavia and as far south in the US as Washington State. NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has provided an area where auroras as expected to be seen.

Some whacky weather headed this way tonight.  Wind gusts to 55, temps dropping to low 40's, tomorrow highs of 50 and tomorrow night low of upper 30's.  And I'm on the Gulf.   Fish, you going to see any snow tomorrow night?😳
