The Descriptive Process

[Gologit]

Not a real complaint. I am actually enjoying it, because I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. The White Death is here. Not the usual heavy, gloppy stuff. Nope, this time it's like east of the mountains snow. Tiny, light flakes being blown about by the east wind we've had for two days. I believe some of the Oregon guys--PAcity and Spotted Owl may have a lot more of it in their backyards.

I'd guess a couple inches so far. Stay tuned.

Same here, lots of rain (we need it) and snow this weekend. Stocked up on groceries, the generator is gassed and ready, the used book shelf has been stocked, the firewood rack in the shop is full. Bring it!

The best thing is not having to go out in it if I don't want to.

Retirement is good, isn't it?

I think full retard might be a good description. I've wondered about that for years.

No, I'm pretty much done. No more production falling, too old and too slow and mostly too lazy. I give away more work than I take and it's nice to have that choice.
I still keep my hand in and I have a couple of little projects lined up for this Spring but nothing major. When a real juice job shows up...easy ground, good timber, short commute, and decent money...it's pretty hard to turn down.

Eight inches of rain here in the last 24 hours. That's not much for you folks up north but down here it's got us looking for PFDs.

Day before yesterday the big news was our drought. Now the big news is flash flood warnings. Must be living in California.

Windy and just started snowing here. There's about an inch and a half on the ground from the last storm. Not to worry, The Used Dog can bust through it and The Grapple Cat has a trail cleared between the house and shop.

Today stayed just below freezing.

6" rain Gage is past full since Thur afternoon, most of it today (Sat). It's still raining hard. it has really warmed up. now 52*, so snow level has really gone up, we had snow just above us Fri. (2000'). The first 2" just soaked in now it is beginning to puddle and run off a little. My vernal pond is still dry so no ducks or geese have moved in yet.

 

[slowp]

OK, OK, I'll bring that jet stream back up where it belongs.

I see they have upped out predicted snowfall amount to 3 to 5 inches. It was at half an inch. Hope the National Guard is on alert to save us.

Maybe you could make a harness and hook TUD to one of your kayaks. They should glide on the snow.

The Weather Channel Drama Team has not appeared here, yet.

Not yet? I think The Used Dog hooked to the kayak and towing you through the snow would make a great human interest piece. You could get a parka, a flowing scarf, and one of those Elmer Fudd Hats with the flaps that fold down on three sides. You could be mushing to Morton for supplies.

Anybody got the phone number for KOMO?

That's crazy. We are so far from rain here its not even funny. Going to be 12 below overnight sometime next week again. Was 25 below with the wind chill when I was working yesterday.

clear calm and 15deg here... although some clouds are looking a little ominous... first time in a month I was able to knock some of the mud off the missus, she's been a dirty dirty girl...

 

[Cedarkerf]

Trying to snow here but the wind wont let the flakes hit the ground lucky our power hasnt gone out yet amazing how flexible frozen Firs and Cedars are only a few in the neighborhood have snapped off

 

[slowp]

I have little snow drifts around here. The Used Dog returning from a yellow snow making trek.

Well we'll see if the loggers were plowing friday or sat. Should have about a foot of snow in the road. Looks to be about a 6 or 7 with a wing plowing the white stuff. Had a bunch of snow in the last week. Goin shooting tomorrow.

 

[Metals406]

My pipes are still messed up from this last cold snap. My sewer pipes even froze. That's what consistent -15 ~ -20 will do to a crappy ol trailer house.

 

[OlympicYJ]

Sorry to hear Nate. Yeah that's no bueno. They gotta be careful with the crapper pipes up North. get froze up you're using trash bags... and that dump run in the spring just aint fun! lol
