chattius 2,512 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Just one of these few days as in my favourite pre-xmas song. The field I flooded is frozen, 5 centimetres snow, star shining nights, -9C at 10pm when I commanded the kids back from skating on the ice into the house. The english version made it to 'the christchild is coming today', in german it is 'bald = soon' and is the whole days of Advent. 1 Link to comment
chattius 2,512 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 No school because of ice rain. Luckily I had my ice cleats put in place yesterday evening. No searching this morning. Also I mounted a spreader for granules at the front attachment of the unimog to reach the village yesterday. Had to use it because wife was called to a person who slipped heavily on blackice in neighbour village. If I would live in a town, I could have slept 4 more hours. 1 Link to comment

lujate 572 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Left work yesterday a little after 5pm, and the wind chill was -28 F (-33 C). Ouch! It was up to -27 F when I woke up this morning. Not much of an improvement. 1 Link to comment

That is an insanely cold very dangerous temperature… I actually was outside this morning at 6:30 I did a quick 3K run but it was only hovering around 0° mark slushy icy but nothing like yours 😟 gogo Link to comment
Hooyaah 2,799 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 It was -12 C here in Texas this morning and the hard freeze is forecast to last until noon on Christmas Eve. Then it will still be below O C. Link to comment

lujate 572 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Forecast is calling for heavy snow later today and into tomorrow. I'm right on the line between the 4-8 and 6-12 inch (10-20 & 15-30 cm) zones. We don't get that much snow very often, so the city and residents don't handle it well. 1 Link to comment

Re surprise snow, yah thats it! for many cities that may not have the infrastructure in place, boat loads of snow can be perilous but kind of fun too ... for me waking up early to that dark morning oft times comes with the sounds of mean, roarning machines that chop up and machine-gun snow via funnel... gotta be careful. We have -17 degrees here Wind Chill... the coldest its been all year... knew that Winter was coming gogo Link to comment

Last was handball and she plays too cautious because she didn't want to break the fingers she needs for her music school 1 Link to comment

gogoblender 3,039 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 - 7 degrees...warm and balmy...and...floor finished! Schot can do anything Link to comment
chattius 2,512 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 So quick... Kitchen floor would take me half a year. Disadvantage of wood is that wood is 'working'. You have to store big wood parts for several weeks to do an acclimatization to the average temperature. Add that we have an underfloor heating. I couldn't do normal heating without touching weight carrying walls. I plan the next work in kitchen when the twins are at university. Family will get smaller and bigger. Smaller because it will be just my wife and me living in the house, bigger because if kids and grandchildren will come we will need more room than now. So the kitchen will get more useful tools by removing place now needed for kids. The toys and playing room will give a 20place eating room. Luckily still some years to wait 1 Link to comment

Luckily still some years to wait were not well equipped or even talented at carpentry, reno, etc...but that floor was so old, like twenty years, and was in bad condition when we moved in. This floor is just a vinyl sheet...but its wonderful to touch, settles in and easy to apply.. supposed to last a long time. I cant imagine having to work with wood as you are.. living, breathing stuff that you have to wait half a year for ! We have a lovely day here, -2! around six am, ready to go out for a walk! gogo Link to comment
