Fishfiles 20,145 Posted February 27, 2020 Wilson , Nice looking truck and would bet since it is a military version , it has the things you would want to have in a truck weatherman called for a freeze in the high 20s , it never happened , 36 this morning here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,564 Posted February 27, 2020 Yeah..... That's my thinking too I'd enjoy going one with a fine tooth comb ..... yeah they missed it he .... Still .... 33 cloudy.... NO snow, or freezing rain, heck nothing on the radar at all! Least not for my area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nanook 91 Posted February 27, 2020 Stayed above zero at the house (+1F). Which is better than the -20F down in Fairbanks at the moment! Been a long cold winter in these parts. Fair amount of snow, almost ten hours on the Honda snowblower since Dec., probably about the same on the Foreman with the plow. Still six to seven weeks of possible snow weather, before the sun stays out for too long to be cold anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freedomflyer 1,885 Posted February 27, 2020 Liars! There all liars! LOL! Wish I could be wrong everyday with my work and not lose work or clients. I remember as a kid the words "possible" or "possibly" was used a lot in the weather forecast so we never expected anything until it actually happened. Shoot now we're getting weather alerts and alarms on our phones when a small snow squall is happening. Dramatizing every little thing that happens, we used to look out the window in and think, "Huh! A snow squall, wonder how long that's going to last?" LOL. It must be to warn all the people who aren't from here not to be stupid while they're out and about. 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm envious...city folk wouldn't want to have to get out of the cab to manually lock the front hubs in...but that's REAL 4x4 there. yeah..local ham chatter, among the usual stuff, is trending around the virus..preppers being what they are...ok...what "we" are...there.. I admit it. we don't get enough weather events for it to be a topic of conversation on the radio..but I did go out to the big boat last night and drain the water out of the motor, as it threatens to drop to about 28 degrees Friday night...not bothering to winterize for the occassional chilly night with 50 degree days.. Ihave a bilge safe marine heater that I'll stick in there and call it done...cause I'm only a few weeks away from lake time! the wife really wants one good snow...and so far , only flurries..this year...very warm n wet...we are so saturated that the water is just laying on the ground..it squishes when you walk..and it's just not draining or soaking in...man Wilson..you make me wanna go truck shopping now!! dang it!

Sure would smell good!! BH i haven't heard any radio chatter about this new virus..... Just friends and neighbors .... Along with family....

Bighanded 1,235 Posted February 27, 2020 1 hour ago, _Wilson_™ said: local hams are just doing the usual...same kinda chats you'd get if your were sitting with a cup of coffee at the local donut shop...nothing official. I don't want to hijack the weather thread with my zombie prepping..but I guess prepping is kinda related in that I got into it just a matter of course..living on the coast, we've weathered multiple hurricanes over the years..prepping was just a normal part of life..if you were smart at all...that way we didn't have to head to the grocery store for flashlight batteries, genset, gas at the pumps after the fact etc...and as a young kid back in the hills of Ohio, I always remembered my grandparents, uncles etc..always had that emergency kerosene heater in the basement in case they lost power, canned food, etc...it just was something that made sense, not zombies..just normal. We also do a fair amount of camping trips, and while these days it's in a travel trailer instead of on the ground, most of our trips are off grid, so you learn things that help during disaster time...ok..back to the weather report...hopefully..winter will end soon, and along with it, the Corona19 will crawl back under it's rock til next season. 1 hour ago, _Wilson_™ said: lol^^^ i can't stand auto locking hubs I bet it would, jeep with little modification ....

toodeep 1,758 Posted March 4, 2020 We have up and down temps but some getting into the 60s and possibly 70 this weekend. The grass is getting a green tint to it and the geese are heading back north.

Oh, well., least i was out of the sleet. twer when ya could afford ta be in the infield. NOW, ya can't. aint worth it. i went from, Derby, to the Oak's, then off track. now i bet online. Avoid the crowd's, an the prices. it were fun, in the old day's. The new generation, will put an end to horse racing. so it was. antique's, are a thing of the past also. collector's are dying off. sell while ya can. how to make money, in this new world. where there is no importance, nor reason. no respect for tradition, or family. just is. i don't know. //Ted. or //Led., or //ed. i gotta feed my horses. the real world i have had some dry day's. ever time it gets dry, it rains. had days with out to much wind, unusual, it has been a warm winter. when it were cold. three more days or 60 or near it, maybe march is here.

Lol it MIGHT have had some information on it .... when i check noaa for weather from time to time. mostly i am looking up stuff, or, on a forum. i got 4 forums i visit. this one, the old one, KY Hunting.not, an Ubuntu forum. weather, i look if the maple tree's turn up there leave's it gonna rain, or it is raining, if the tree's are swaying, it's windy. Louisville weather, nor Bardstown has to due with me. ya can see by the map. though my mail is cox's creek, High Grove got annexed to Cox's Creek, High Grove has it's own weather. 8 mile's south is Bardstown, and 7 mile's north is Mt. Washington. it can be raining in either, but not raining here, and vise/versa. have ya tried the rope method of checking the weather? Hang a piece, of rope from a limb. if is gets wet, probably raining., if rope is swaying, wind is involved., if rope moves 90 degrees., its really time to hit the basement., if rope is frozen., it's cold outside.. ever hear of Goodlettsville, Tenn..

And, I've seen many tornadoes ... And your rope wouldn't be just swaying... and a rope hanging from a tree whipping at 90 .... Doesn't Indicate one thing, except strong winds .... Most likely straight line winds. Edited March 7, 2020 by _Wilson_™ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
