Well guys,
It got to 58F yesterday afternoon, so Michael didn't rob all the heat before it got here. Temps. went down hill from there. 34F this morning. At 4:30 this afternoon I shot these pics., Temp 25F, wind chill 13. We're getting one Great Lakes clipper after another
The Power went off about 12:20 along with the internet (TW). Son called his power failed also, he is on National grid, I'm on NYEG, regional problem I suspect. We had about 75V on one leg, nothing on other at my disconnect box, (not good) I disconnected ,and fired up my Yanmar Gen. About 3:30 the grid was back up.
I havent had to run the Gen for the last 4yrs, I did start it when "Sandy" thretened, so I was prepared.
I continued to work on my current project, runing my chop saw, mig welder, and arc welder on gen power.
The wifey was happy, as we have Dish TV, and she could catch the "soaps", HeHe.
Loren

Bro,
Glad to see you're getting a little "financial aid" from mother nature, Sure has been a wacky winter.
When I was working construction,I had to get to work at 2:00 AM to plow comercial parking lots etc. It was fun then, and I would do it again if I had the opertunity, to work for the same contractor.

Loren, Those temps sound down right tropical to me. Our hi was -2 with a 25 mph breeze, back to -10 now. Suppose to be 30 again in a couple days. I'm a late comer to this forum so I have another dumb question. Why do you call your area Clinton Camp? Rod. |

Well Loren, you've it better than me. Spent 2 1/2 hours to go less than 5 miles just now. 1 inch of wet ice on I65 just south of Indy. That was the worst stretch of road I've ever traveled. When I moved I would just slide down to the grass. Sure am glad that's done. Did get to give the new trucks traction control and anti lock brakes a good checking out tho. They work great!! lol.
