Thread: A cool day today

Tweet

Its about -13 Celsius here, (about 8 above zero F). Its been snowing like crazy all day. I just heard a news report about an 80 car pile-up on hwy#400 about 20 miles south of here, caused by white out conditions. ---Glad I didn't have to go out today..

-13 Celsius, what does that feel like at 62 MPH (100 KPH?) in a roadster pickup?

If I was in the stands at that game my testicles would become ovaries!

-17, is that hot enough to melt the ice caps?

Ah, yes. Winter in the north; I remember it well. Gray skies, naked trees, brown grass, sloppy wet roads. I used to put the hotrod in the garage in October and it stayed there until mid-May. In Indiana we had about 9 or 10 good weeks of Summer; the rest of the year was unpredictable or downright crappy and cold. I was miserable at least 6 months out of the year. I moved here (Florida) 27 years ago. People told me I was crazy because I took a 40% cut in pay to do it... Well, it was the right decision for me. I drive my hotrods and ride my motorcycle year-round; no more $300 monthly heating bills; my garage is not heated and doesn't need to be. I still go north to visit family in the Summer, but if anybody wants me in the Winter, they can come here.

It's going to be 40 degs today and tomorrow That's 57 degs warmer, and it's still it's not a warm day (is to us ). Tn is complaining that it's been 2 looonnnnng weeks since it's been 50 degs there
It's going to be a good day today! It's nice out, no football, no nascar and we are having open house with a new price, someone has to buy this house soon, we rebuilt the house top to bottom, and have dropped the price 50k (not at once) from where we started at, 16 months, 3 different realtors, and not one offer, not even a bad one! We have found out that realtors don't know how to sell a house! They are use to them selling themselves, we now have a team of 2, I don't think there is anyone better to get, they do everything to get people to come and look. The market is almost stopped in our price range, 2 yrs ago it should have sold without question for 75k more than I'm at today.
But Hey! It's going to be a good day today!

I feel the same. This youtube video shows one reason I moved from Buffalo to the Tampa area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-gRb_MuUgg
Everyone come on down, with the housing market slump there's lots of homes to choose from!

I knew it was to nice out, it's -17 degs again this morning Wind Chill -37, expected to get up to -5
But Hey! I had a showing on my house yesterday! That was 2 Saturday's in a row. It was also +26 degs out yesterday.

Good luck, man, the housing market really sucks for sellers right now. I've seen signs around here where houses are for sale for "take over payments". Ya know it's got to be bad when people are willing to just give away their equity to get out from under the payments...

a most amasing thing has just happened !!! i was standing outside and suddenly there is a break in the clouds and this great big orange thing appears from out of nowhere .. scared me for a second .. it hurts to look at it and it seems to be putting off heat .. supposed to turn nice down here late today and tomorrow .. too pretty to go work but there is so much i`m behind on i cant lay out .. houses are quite cheap around me also .. i`m looking at buying one if i can find the owner .. i can get it for less than 1/3 it would cost me to build on my property ..just will have to dig up my shop some how and move it

Sun is shining here today too!!!! Already 25 degrees and reportedly on it's way to 30+!!!!!!

It's 37 degs @8:00am Heat wave ...... tomorrow it's going to be a high of 10 then 0.. nothing! Wednesday. I even change the color of my car yesterday, from blue over white to all blue again! (I washed it )

Not one person showed up to the open house! Oh well, they say you rarely ever sell a house from an "Open House" , I want showings, showings are preaproved for the money before they look. Haven't had a showing since some time in November. My realtor say's he about ready to put on a clown suit and stand on the corner..He's not kidding! . I live on a dead end road with woods behind and to the south, and a park behind the houses across the street, so it real quiet around here, but I don't get cars that drive by unless they live on the block, and kids steal the signs at the end of the street and down at the other corners! thats why I need the open houses. People don't know I'm here!!! Cool if your not trying to sell.
I have my house set up for show all the time, everything we have is packed in my garage, I can get one car in and out and can get to on work bench, so I can't work on much of anything unless I need to. can you say bored! So I draw on my cars and different things on my Mastercam.

I tell ya.. these southerners... they see one snowflake and they freak out. roll up the sidewalks.

Got bad news for you EG. That's the way the drivers in Maryland (many miles north of Georgia) act any time a flake falls. Instant gridlock. Schools close, evening events cancel. Man it is just crazy. Makes me embarrassed to even admit that I grew up in Maryland.
