Strong Winds but.....

we still have power. We did have some THUNDER snow this morning that worked better than the alarm clock.

wind is picking up pretty good here as well...the NWS says maybe 60mph gusts later before the temps drop
out of sight

two pretty good chances at measureable snow this week too

Wind just got here......

Did a road trip to the cottage this morning zap
No damage but will have quite a bit of cleaning up to do in the spring

Emma didnt care about the wind



Think i might stay outta the woods today..

Wind not bad here. If it were summer, the breeze would be lovely

Heading out to bring the weeks stash plus extra up to the back door & fill up inside as best as possible.

Right after I posted this the lights started to flicker pretty good, the power stayed on.
Loon, I was thinking about a quick walk in the woods when the wind stopped for a bit, then this gust hit the house (thought the window was coming in the house).so I'll wait until tomorrow. I think we have some down on the hill in the back.

CTguy9230, I'm hoping the snow stays south of us but if we do get some good snow it would help out some of the businesses in this area.

Jack Straw, how high are the winds suppose to be in your area?

Dix, how cold is your area going to get with the artic air coming in?

I think around 40 mph.

I hear they are getting lake effect snow in the Watertown area & below, just wondering how the trails are down there.

I'll look into it, thanks.

From what I've seen on the news they have great trails if they have the snow.

My front door is weatherstripped with old fashioned spring bronze. I know its a windy day when that stuff starts to sing. Got woken up by the wail yesterday and today.

Right now its gusting to 50, I feel cold drafts around the windows because of it, but its 50F so to warm to light a fire. I made use of this last day of the midwinter thaw to restock the small woodshed and do the quarterly generator test run. We are expecting the crash to single digits rest of the week and there is talk of snow.

we've had some pretty good wind here most of the day.....

Zap...i hope it snows here too so i can make a little xtra $$

Still big wind and the bottom fell out of the thermometer zap, but had to get outta the house

The last big snowfall we had our local stihl,husky & simplicity dealer sold 35 snowblowers, snow brings in money.

Your a nut Loon, I did take a quick walk so I could look for some downed trees on the hill out back, nothing came down.

What type of wood did you grab?

The still have this on for our area.

TV stunk and the pute was getting old quick
Got a trailer load of downed no bark Ash But it ended up i got cold

Should be interesting weather this week eh?

I retied my ropes on 4 tarps yesterday while it was 50 degrees outside.
Last night the winds were just howling here in West Michigan within earshot of Lake Michigan.
This morning all 4 tarps had been completely ripped off my stacks. Argh....
This summer I will be building a huge woodshed that will hold about 3 years worth.

The type of weather that thickens the oil in your vehicles. Just loaded the Liberty up for the first time today, ran the pellet stove.
