Nasty weather will you get to the woods on Monday Thread

[slowp]

OK, here it is. How much snow and will you get there on Monday? I got the 5 passenger snowmobile and did the grocery thing in Morton, where it was snowing much more than here. I busted through a high snowberm only to find the place I wanted to go was closed. Noticed what looked like a higher number of loggers than usual wandering around the grocery store. Overheard, "Dad and Me couldn't even get to the shovel this morning so we decided to bake something. Now, where is the yeast?" Others in the same boat but sent out to the store with lists. A few trees went down on the highway but were cut out. I will have to wander over and see the one that came down but missed the 'ologist building. Still snowing pretty good here.
I'm going to make salsa this afternoon.

sounds like a good day for baking

i just made some cookies cause i had nothing else to do
they taste like crap so i'll give them away

oh and, miss slowp, we need pics please

Just went down to see the low landers no snow at all snowing pretty well here again.

I was tempted to staple up some Timber Sale Area No Woodcutting signs... maybe tomorrow. We need every stick to meet the target. How many surveys should be done prior to removal?

I have a small batch of salsa cooking and the sinuses are opening up.

 

[forestryworks]

what kind of tree was that. just about a perfect split down the middle.

maybe slowp can bring some salsa to the PNW gathering in may...?

Slowp, that snow looks pretty wet and heavy, like we get here. Is that usual?

We have been running tire chains the last week 2 get 2 the job, such a drab thing, chaining up. currently 24 temp here, Mon. calling 4 49 temp and rain showers, that will make 4 some sweet iced up roads Mon. evening.

 

[Cedarkerf]

They call it Cascade concrete its heavy and wet.

Yes it is the usual consistancy for here. We get mostly rain so when it turns into snow, it is a gloppy snow, of course. That's why our driving is difficult in a few inches, where in the drier states, you can drive in quite a bit. It makes for lots of breakage and falling of trees which I'm sure the woodcutters are delighting in, at least those with four wheel drive. We got a couple inches more last night, but it may be lighter snow because it cooled off.

The tree was a maple. Now, in the woods, there's slugs and snails that like those big maples so I better see that surveys are done before we remove the tree and disturb the ground.:biggrinbounce2:

Maybe the 'ologists could take the slugs and snails home. Just to keep them safe.

I'm not going ANYWHERE next week...

Or at least until all the idiot drivers (tailgaters, those who drive regular speed with frozen roads, etc.) wreck their cars and it will be then safe to drive.

Went out this morning was going to go skiing at Crystal $25 but 5 degrees with 20 mile winds just to cold to sit on the chairlift. roads are clear (sheet ice usually is clear) lots of tracks of people goin four wheelin in the woods even if it is only ten feet then they abrubtly stop for some reason. Watcin the tail gaters is fun but I also like the show off who can spin their tires in the parking lot before bounceing their 200 dollar rims off the curb.Winds howling and blowin the big firs back and fourt seen a couple already snapped good day to stay in and enjoy the fire.

Too cold?.. Naw, it won't be too cold till tomorrow and Tuesday, when we're supposed to see -25. lol

That's when you want to go to the lake for a swim... Gotta bring the chainsaw to make a hole though!

 

[Adkpk]

I got the 5 passenger snowmobile

What is a 5 passenger snowmobile?

I have a small batch of salsa cooking and the sinuses are opening up.

Cooking salsa? I don't cook it just use tomato, onion, garlic, actually I don't really know how to make it but I know the misses doesn't cook it.

I tell ya, some of the fellas on here from Canada, see these temps every winter... In fact, this cold front came from there... I'm 75 miles away from the border.

No wonder those guys like hockey.

Snow almost to the valley floor, chains required everywhere in the mountains, lots of rain. Sorry, Burvol...we'll try to keep it down here as much as we can.
