Work's been cancelled for many the last few days here. Would have enjoyed my unpaid vacation a bit more if I hadn't just gotten back from a vacation a couple weeks ago.

I had a running furnace. I was at 53 and dropping. It was like camping.
Got the kero heater in now. ~5min every hour, house has been 74-80 for last two days. Cost me about $1.19 so far and it'll be 50* by the new moon.

This is looking off my deck. It's
60 degrees warmer today than
3 days ago. It's melting the snow
and causing fog. A lot of the sound
is the rushing creek right up to
it's banks from all the melting
snow.

My brother texted me that he is getting TOO OLD for this Sh**
he was referring to working in the super cold temps of western Canada
I just pulled up the temps in Grande Prairie Alberta and the wind chill is MINUS 59*F
at minus 37*F a small wind of 7 mph brings it to almost 60*F below zero
even the oilpatch starts to shut down at those temps

That's because you don't live here. Mid 90s with no humidity is Paradise. It's the humidity that makes it feel sticky.

have an Indian Summer in Nov and I'll
be screwed.

I think I just finished today after ~10 straight days of full day hammering. Garage gutted and cleaned, boat winterized and sheltered, plants chopped, pond cleared, windows washed, vehicle maintained, tanks sanitized, gutters emptied, windows fastened... I'm battened down for the beating already. T'ain't gonna be no Indian Summer this year.

Yes, but I have to wait for the yard guy to come clean the yard, the pool guy to come clean the pool, and the pooper scooper guy to come get the dog dirt before I can turn on the heater and enjoy the pool and yard.

Looking at the next 2 weeks, very

30's.
This for us has been a nothing winter.
Almost no snow or below normal temps.

Quote: tringlomaneBut we are creating much more CO2 than water vapor relative to the current amounts in the atmosphere through industrial processes.
Water vapor is in the air at an average abundance of 4.0% but that abundance varies quite a bit both in time and, of course, by region. CO2 has risen from an atmospheric abundance of about 0.1% to 0.18%, for an abundance gain of +0.08%. Of course, there are enormous quantities of water on earth, and how temperature rise affects atmospheric water vapor is a HUGE deal, because water vapor is also a climate change vapor, just like CO2.
The most immediate actions should be to stop clearing forested land and start planting trees all around the world. Photosynthesis is the only practical way to remove CO2 from the atmospheric (and convert it to carbon.) The Amazon jungle used to be the lungs of the Earth's biosphere -converting CO2 to oxygen. The South Americans continue to strip it away.
BTW, I was an official reviewer for the U.S. government of the U.N. IPCC report on Climate Change (2005?). I know something about this subject! (Or at least I used to.)
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Spring basically started in W MI
on Feb 29th. Earliest Spring
in more than a decade. Winter
is over weatherwise. It's the
smallest snowpack in 16 years
nationwide. Following last
year when it was one of the
biggest. Ski resorts in the
Rockies were open on the 4th
of July last year.

I think it's been a year without winter pretty much. It was pretty good, but some days were bad and I need snow tires so I got that for just a few trips. I'll never drive without them if I can help it. They brought peace of mind and never having to worry about sliding off the highway, I don't know why everyone thinks you don't need them. If you're a man and you're going to just drive out there no matter what you need them.
You do need winter the curb down disease,, hey babe why this is happening with the Coronavirus.

No that's not me. I just have no fear rain or snow, too many times I'm driving as fast as it seems safe losing control every 10 minutes and seeing 5 cars off the road, I'll never let that be me. The last time I almost went into a ditch and some pine trees before gaining control back, and the time before that, I couldn't get up a steep icy hill and it was a nightmare. Thank you google maps for that, I knew it was wrong making that turn.

The last time it snowed in CT after May 1st was May of 1977 (I witnessed this in Danbury CT) I believe also on the 9th. Nine months later was the Blizzard of '78. NOT a good omen. Gettin too old for 30" snow storms ;o)
