Cold Weather Pics ?

Not yet this year but this one was taken on Christmas Day a few years ago.

My view for most of the day. Good to come home to a nice warm house after a day like this.

^ I'll be doing that tomorrow. First time putting the hooks on in a while, but there shouldn't be any snow involved. Gotta change six insulators and guy a pole, and then a bunch of other stuff I can reach with the bucket.

Wish I had a bucket and actually wish I had my spurs back every now and then. Free climbed poles with spurs for many years but now now it is just a 80 lbs ladder, call in the bucket if and only if absolutely needed. Stay safe burnham.

You guys have my unending admiration doing that stuff. I go to our co-op annual meeting every year just to thank the linemen.

I don't work the scene much any more, but when I did I always tried to thank the line men who showed up to kill the power to the house on fire or car that was tangled up in the wires. I figured they rarely get any of the limelight and are usually not looked at in the same light of firefighters . . . and yet it is with their prompt response and action that often keeps us firefighters alive. I have . . . and always will . . . appreciate the work they do.

And the fellas that go underground have my respect as well. You hear of the horror stories of the manhole fires that clip a life.

Nice pics everybody. I live in the wrong place. I want enough snow to cover the wood stacks. Now that's a storm!

Was on our way back to the hotel one night while on a underground job and got a call on the radio. "Hey, where are you guys?" We had left a fellow worker in a manhole all day splicing telephone lines, someone needed to borrow the ladder and forgot to go back to get him, lol. Thankfully we forgot to turn off our radios at the end of the day. This poor fellow had no luck.

You can just tell that is cold. Merchant marines must have it bad too

Lovely pictures, Paul. The first one deserves a spot on a wall in your home....

Last night, cold and windy in MA.

Blowing snow turned my Forester into a minivan, and my wife's Legacy into a wagon (February)

My dear late Dad and I hamming it up at about zero F whilst firing the kiln

an ice cold

No cold yet this year, these are from a couple years ago .......

Kinda dreary picture. It was sleeting when I took it. Here is our barely frozen pond collecting the light snow and sleet we received yesterday.

We never see the Lakers up that close, but the lights at night are really cool. I can't remember when they go into winter lay-up.

We have just a dusting right now, this was last season

Two days ago. Today it's all gone .
