💬 OT ❄️ The Official TCG Complains about Snow Yearly Despite Living in the Midwest and it never snows here anyway.

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

you sound way cooler saying HAM radio too. definitely.

 

[radioguy6]

got a solid 6"-8" out there, been waiting for the tailend to pass so I can go snowblow

 

[PANDA]

I did a pass on the driveway at 630 and then again at lunch time. Not much have accumulated since then. Seems like shit is melting also. temp says 32.5

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Hoping my driveway is shoveled when I get home ??

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

I usually say VHF since that’s the band it’s in. You can pick up the weather broadcasts on a cheap $50 scanner that has a pre-programmed “WX” button.

I used to use 162.550 all the time since the transmitter was in Romeoville. But they changed the .550 to the marine forecast. Forgot what the terrestrial freq for this area is now, like .475?

It is 162.4 by me at least

13.5 inches later it looks like it's done snowing.
I did a quick pass with the tractor before I left for work at 0445, wife used the snowblower to get 80% of ours then I finished polishing ours up and did our neighbors after work. Took about an hour.
The tractor just has a loader on the front. An actual snow blade would have gotten that done in 15 minutes easily. I need one.

We got like an inch of snow out here but boy did it fuck the roads.

Was coming home going north on I-25 when I noticed headlights pointed towards me. Look left and see an Explorer headed my way from the southbound side. Thankfully the wire divider caught him and all the debris stayed in the median but that shit looked nasty.

I was disappointed to find mine not touched

 

[MikeyLikesIt]

Just arrived in Texas (North of Dallas). The roads were ok this morning and I was able to take I-55. I was thinking about taking 57 down to Effingham and then cutting across the state but didnt need to. I had snow still on the truck into Missouri. The looks were funny.

Gf out of town. And my boy is out of town. So he's tossing me keys to the shop (not literally I already know the code) but I'm going to drop trans in dooty, toss some heads on a 6.0 for him, and whatever else has to be done.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Probably leave early am and toss something on smoker. Come home for lunch, chow down, rip quads through forest.

the "shifting seasons" is starting to look a lot more real year by year.

Weather channel actually had this on the other day. Showed the number of sub 32 degree days from different cities. All of them had over a 20% drop since the 60s.

Lord Tin Foilhat loves this.


not to mention... when we were little all the storms moved dead nuts west to east... now. everything comes from the south or north. with an easterly direction ish

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Yeah, seems like the "seasons" are pushed back by about 45 days. The seasons are defined by arbitrary dates that they come up with like centuries ago anyways.

Shit, if the Mayans were correct we'd have been wiped off the earth over eight years ago. We're all on borrowed time now.

Correct. Magnetic pole is shifting which is shifting the jet streams, mixed with the weakened magnetic field and melting ice caps (which causes an ice age)...and we can expect a cold future.

If a big volcano goes off, which we are over due for, it will accelerate the ice age.

i mean... like... they (used to at least) correspond to the earth's axis... and position... of course.
