Welcome to the real but unfortunate world.

by **smoken340** Tue Feb 07, 2017 11:43 am

No this might be the real world in New Brunswick, but here we are used to sun and heat. lol.
Wires have at least an 1/2 of ice on them now and the freezing rain is falling faster than ever. Three months until cruising season starts Very Happy

Around here we usually start seeing classics around the end of April, although our first shows are normally the first long weekend of May. I'm hoping to be able to drive the Duster on my birthday, which is May 13th.

Down here in the warm south we can plan on May 15th and on a good year May 1st. I hope this year is a good year, it sure would be different, haven't seen one in the past 11 years my car has been around for its second life .

Well we need to think positive.
This is the year.

I'll agree with you, it's always good to think positive....

Good morning, dam cold here today, -28. To cold to go out in the garage. Just drove my son-in-law to the airport, so I was up real early, 3:45.

Good morning -1 and we have a slobbernocker coming this afternoon. Heavy snow after lunch up to 20 cm`s then freezing rain. Sounds like a good time NOT .
Have a great day

by philcollins Wed Feb 08, 2017 6:35 am

Winter storm overhere. Forecast changed, no more freezing rain. Very Happy

by JGL Wed Feb 08, 2017 6:41 am

Good morning, not as cold has Keith, -9 now had a bit of snow last night and according to the weather radar the freezing rain is going to miss us, Fredericton and area is going to get the brunt of it. Anyway, I cleared the driveway this morning of about 8-10 cm of snow but it was mainly to clear what the plow had dropped of at the start of the driveway. Looks like Reg will have his hands full with the weather too.
Try to have a great day.

by JGL Wed Feb 08, 2017 6:44 am

So phil is not going to get freezing rain either so looks like Fredericton and Miramichi is the guilty party.

by Brads70 Wed Feb 08, 2017 11:33 am

Freezing rain was minimal around here Calling for -17 here tonight, time to stoke up the woodstove! Can't wait for spring.... this is getting boring.

Reg, is slobbernocker a west coast term or something you made up? It's a new one on me.

by Ragtacker Wed Feb 08, 2017 2:17 pm

Thats actually a term John Madden used during a telecast one day. He was describing the mess along the defensive/offensive line and I grabbed it and from that day on I use it every once in a while when something is going to be a big ol sloppy mess

I've heard it used on a few bad things, be it sports, weather or anything that is bad.

I don't watch football. Guess that's why I missed it.

by Ragtacker Wed Feb 08, 2017 7:10 pm

But now you know and use it at will!!

Good morning 0 heading to 10. We got slammed yesterday with the snow storm wound up with snow until 8 or so last night and then it turned to rain. So flooding will be next with a foot or more of snow on the ground its going to rain like hell. Lots without power this morning we are lucky haven`t lost it yet but the days not over. Good day to stay in the shop and get the hotel job going.
Have a great day

Good morning, painting the full bath today, -8 right now and expecting a snow storm late this evening and tomorrow, 20-30 cm and it's a good ol nor'easter so we are expecting hi winds too. I will know for sure tomorrow.
Have a great day all.

by philcollins Thu Feb 09, 2017 12:35 pm

Nice day, went to see my doctor, everything is fine, for a 60 years old. My back is still sore but not bad.
So i went for a snowmobile ride, the trail were groomed last night so it's was real fun. Took it easy, only done 120 kms.

Forecast of 15cm of snow for tonight, will see.
