-25 this morning, -32 with the wind, glad I don't work outside anymore.

Cookie-monster, is there going to be an investigation for the cause of the collapse?

by Brads70 Fri Jan 05, 2018 5:30 am

-20 something here this morning, crazy busy fixing snowblowers. Not a big fan of working outside in the cold. Warmer days ahead!

by Ragtacker Fri Jan 05, 2018 5:54 am

Good morning 6 and raining today at least it is this morning. -20 and working outside would be a big no guy for me but maybe I am just getting old and soft.....ya thats probably it.
Have a great day

by JGL Fri Jan 05, 2018 6:35 am

Wow, Cookie-Monster had quite a day yesterday, like they say ''close but no cigar'' keep good luck on your side and you'll have it made.

Good morning, quite a storm yesterday and thankfully we never lost power, was 0 when I woke and the water was flowing outside but not now as it is already -2 and the wind which is still present makes it feel like -15.
Have a great day all.

Our wind died down so yours too should do the same thing at some point...although we still do get some gusts.

We new what caused the collapse right after it happened but, yes, I had our Geotech come out and take pictures and file a report and we discussed the fix just to be on the up and up. He previously signed off on the work so we were covered in that
regard but that would not have done much good when being buried under that pile. There was a pocket of pit run fill that had a lot of rock from 3" to 24" right behind the thin layer of clay that was left when we cut the banks and the bottom let go due to
the freeze and thaw and rain in the mix which got in behind from the top. Where I was standing we had just cut 8" down and I was standing on wet blue clay so I would not have had a chance at all to move and that material came down and out like right now.
Thankfully I can just chalk it to another eventful day on the job.

-26 here this morning, back out I go fixing snowblowers. It's not as bad as it sounds, I dress for it and usually it's a 20 minute fix, then back in my service van to warm up going to the next call. I didn't turn off the van all day though.

Good morning 7 waiting for the rain to show up. Way better to deal with than you guys back east, take care
Have a great day

Good morning evening style, woke up late after going to bed at 2:00 AM. Started taking the Christmas decorations, over 1/2 done already. Real cold, the thermometer says -18 but the wind ads another 15 degrees or so degrees. We have luckily been unscathed during the storm.
Have a great day...or what is left of it.

by JGL Sun Jan 07, 2018 6:43 am

Good morning, another cold one, from -22 to -20 and sunny presently, it sure is too cold to think of our Mopars and if spring is around the corner for Dan it sure as hell is not here...it is like a very distant dream, another 3 1/2 months away at least. By the way Dan I saw you weather forecast and it does not look too promising...looks wet and maybe white.
Have a great day.

by Ragtacker Sun Jan 07, 2018 7:21 am

Good morning 5 blowing and wet but not white. Looks like a wet week upcoming but its only rain. Hows the flu Dan? JG what is life without a dream(philosifer Reg) 3 1/2 months though yikes
Have a great day

Sometimes that 3 1/2 months turns in to 4, we are not like you lucky ones that put their cars away for 2-3 months...that is why we are dreamers and sometimes philosophers.

by philcollins Sun Jan 07, 2018 3:09 pm

Getting a bit warmer (-15) but the ind is killing us.

This is the first time i'm asking for help to clean the driveway. Was no able to do it with my snowblower, the sbow had too much water in it, then froze...

Hate to say it but my buddy who is building a 69 Swinger stopped by Friday in his 67 Dart, thought he would warm the oil up so went for a drive. Yeesh

Good morning all, Still sick in bed. We have two different flu viruses in this house. Not doing much but sleeping.

by JGL Mon Jan 08, 2018 5:58 am

Good morning, nice to see Dan is able to type and reply. We had a few CM of snow last night, like maybe 5. Not as cold and should see temps on the plus side Wednesday-Thursday.
Have a good day and keep up your spirit Dan.

by JGL Tue Jan 09, 2018 5:44 am

Good morning, light snow again, a little snow blowing. Temps started at -7 this morning and now -5. I think I mind light snow less than rain...but then it depends on how cold and windy it is.
Keep plugging away Dan.

Have a great day everybody.
