masterrig 1 #126 January 9, 2010 From all the responses to this thread, I'd say this is a fairly chilly winter. I heard this morning it was 30-F in parts of Florida. There goes the price of orange juice! I live over-looking a valley and it was 7-F this morning. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #127 January 9, 2010 Quote Weather like that is more like watching the Packers in Wisconsin! Then too, you get a lot of that cold coming off of Erie. Don't forget your toque!Chuck When I was a kid my stepfather worked as a cameraman for CBS sports on weekends. I got to be on the end zone camera platform with him and my mom at Lambeau Field for the Ice Bowl. -15F at the start of the game I have no idea what the wind chill was since we were at the bottom of the horshoe shaped stadium( before the renovation) that faces to the north and the bay itself... but we did get to watch one of the greatest bames of all time.

LadyDoc 0 #133 January 9, 2010 Quote Gee... that's rough!Hasn't gotten over 28-deg.F all day. If, we're going to get all this cold air, we could at least have some snow with it! I think, the last winter I've seen like this was 1981 or '82. This time last year, I had to cut the grass in the yard. Chuck I'm in the area of DeLand, FL and we were actually supposed to do a few dives today but were grounded because of the snow and sleet... in FLORIDA!!!! yea, it's a bit chilly here... :)If you disbelieve everything because we cannot certainly know all things, we shall do much-what as wisely as he would not use his legs, but sit still and perish because he had no wings to fly.-JL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,340 #135 January 9, 2010 Near Green Bay Wi. Temp is about +20F. No wind and the sun is shining. The sky is that absolutely gorgeous pale blue you only get in winter. I was out in a sweatshirt shoveling snow. Working hard enough that I wasn't cold. I might go sledding later."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

masterrig 1 #146 January 9, 2010 There is, just something about the blue skies in winter. Especially after a big snow. We got up to 53-F today. Still, a bit of a chill in the air. I love it!Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess they are bound to miss some. I know when they have all the traps running it's a full time job just to check them every other day. Hadn't actually heard about the Davis Mountains Preserve using a helicopter for anything but fire though. Anyway...a lot of ranchers are getting on board now because TNC is one of very few organizations that has the authority to bypass a burn ban and they realize that is the only way they are going to get their property burned. TNC runs a training operation out there each winter, inviting federal and state firefighters around from all over the country to come down and get experience in prescribed fire. Keep your eye out for some smoke columns in the next week or two. They have a group of 25-30 out there burning right now.Killing threads since 2004.
