A Turkey In The Hay 🦃

^post 1,000~!^
Saying we may end in rain tomorrow?
The rain on Friday melted all but the snow banks.
Oh I didn't notice that, 1000's good luck! Que bueno suerte!

25° here tomorrow so we're getting all snow but not too much 2:00 to 4:00 that's plenty, then no more for the rest of the year please Lord🙏🏻

I feel for the people traveling tomorrow though, that's not going to help
 
Note to self: straighten out tarp on woodpile before the snow
How sad is it I write myself notes LOL I knew I'd check here in the morning so make sense

If I don't get it straightened out now I won't get another chance because I doubt we have another melt off like this not in January / February in northern Maine

I reckon I'll get mostly through January with the wood that's still in the garage unless it's below zero every night & single digits every day like it was in 21/22, then all bets are off 🥶

I have no idea if I get through this year with the wood I have, gonna be close. Next year I'm going back to putting up 6 cords instead of 4

The snow was supposed to start around 8 am here.
It appears to be right on schedule.
I only consider or give any consideration to one channel on TV . It is one of the local channels and I just figure they all sort of try to be different a little from others so pay no mind to other reports~!
On the computer I use 2 sites.
Ventusky has every aspect you could want from wind, to ground cover snow and besides not predicting well it shows what is actually going on.
The other site I use for just radar.

They show it is here now and a good distance from you so 8 pm may be accurate.
In the 1-5 inch range and decided it was not worth the 30+ mile drive to work today.
Not because of morning traffic but afternoon. Combo of holiday traffic and snow is a strong pass for me~!
That and fresh snow on flat roofs is not always advantageous. All my work is on the edge of the building and I don't need to be leaning over the edge all day in snow.
 
Roofing is a tough business! My company used to service a fleet of trucks for a roofing company back in the day.

I would occasionally be on roofs in the winter servicing restaurant equipment, didn't care for it LOL I don't like heights, if I can avoid them.

I have AccuWeather and about a half a dozen other options I can choose from, but they're all over the place more often than they're close to each other. I pick the one that has the right temperature and go from there, not very scientific 🤣
 
One weather app is saying four to six inches now, and another one is saying 9" total on the Storm... 4 to 6 would be okay ☃️🎄

They pushed the start back from 4:00 p.m. till 8:00
We woke up to about 4” of packing snow. It’s raining now. Some are using snow throwers others are waiting for the rain to clear sidewalks. We’ll see.

I'd roll the dice & wait, but then you got to be careful it doesn't freeze... 🤔 snow can be complicated

I use this Zoom Earth site, it gives a few different satellite modes, moisture,wind,temp ect. great when hurricanes are approaching to follow the track.

You must be having this storm too, right? We got about 8 in. with drifts to maybe a foot, still snowing too

Merry Christmas if I don't catch you again, I know it's not your favorite time of year, but we're deep in it now buddy! ❄️🤣
 
Storm yesterday pretty much skirted me~!
Not even an inch~!
They tricked me ....again~!
Merry Christmas Beach~!
 
It's snowing heavy right now, we're getting two or three inches today, I've got to get the roof scraped down before Monday cuz we're getting one of those 34°, blizzards, 10 in of heavy wet snowman snow ☃️

That new 24 ft. roof scraper is a blessing, I don't have to climb the ladder to scrape anymore.

It's still not the easiest thing in the world but it gets the job done from the ground and that's a big win for the good guys! 🏆
 
AI: "The Twelve Days of Christmas is a festive Christian season that begins on December 25 and ends on January 5, celebrating the Nativity of Jesus. Each day traditionally marks a different feast day or celebration, culminating in Epiphany on January 6, which commemorates the visit of the Magi."

 
Hit my second mark on the firewood pile in the garage today

The first mark was to hit the not so pretty wood left over from 23 in the middle of December, I hit it on the 18th

The second mark was to hit the hornbeam (ironwood) the last week in December when temps usually dive down here, and I just hit it today! 😁🏆

That's amazing. You must really have the weather figured out and know your wood heating system like the back of your hand to calculate and hit those targets. Weather is all over the place down here. We've had snow and freezing temps, but we had a sudden shift and I was able to wear a t-shit outside on Christmas Eve. I haven't paid attention to the forecast, but my mother-in-law said temps are supposed to drop again, soon.

Thanks, I'm kind of surprised myself! My next Benchmark is whether I'll have enough wood to get thru the season, still not sure on that one. Hope you had a great Christmas
 
Our big storm Monday has been downgraded to a coating to 2" but they're warning of an ice storm, which means I'll be growing cannabis by candle light again🤦🏻, well by lantern, but I like to say candle 🕯 light, sounds more medieval
 
The fear-porn is already at a fevered pitch for Monday's storm! Even tho we're getting less than 2 in. of snow, apparently a half inch of that is going to be ice, so yeah the power will be out. Prayers for those forced to be on the roads 🙏🏻 be safe!20251225_122644.jpg
 
We got about 8 inches overnight Friday.
Staying pretty much frigid till tomorrow when the storm with possible ice/rain arrives.
At least it is really winter now~!

Oh ya, winter's full on now! We get the cold next week 🥶

Another couple months and then it starts getting better, I'm already making plans for this year's vegetable garden
 
Sheet of ice here.
Been freezing rain since early last night.
I am right at the line for rain/freezing rain now.
Should change over with day light.

Be safe if you have to go out! They tell me that I'm right on the line too, but it's snowing pretty hard right now. I don't have to go anywhere today so...

I reckon I'm going to lose power at some point, hell I lose power in the summer if there's enough wind 🤣
 
I have no plans on going anywhere until it melts.
I may go get my paycheck from Friday[ which I also did not work] as it has my Xmas bonus included.
Having all this time off is crazy to me.
I don't mind going to work, I actually kind of enjoy it~!
It is easier to enjoy when you kind of choose your schedule.
The weather makes me think I may only get 2 days in this week before the holiday thing again~!
