Thread: Sick of winter?

High is 82 here today. Did my morning walk when it was 72. Kind of warm out there now. Overall though I can't complain. It hasn't been extreme either way, Neither too hot, nor too cold.

I'm envious of Jimmy. Winter is back today...started snowing at 8am and hasn't let up since. About 2" of accumulation so far with a potential of 3-5" in total by tomorrow. We are all tired of winter up here except possibly for Glen who enjoys any opportunity to play with his Kubota tractor.

I think I should try to figure out how to work six months a year in New Zealand or a similar location.

Back when I was working in the Cadillac/Chevrolet Dealership (when a $15,500 car would cost $66,574 today) in Auto Body a lady had bought a new Caddie and it soon started having a water leak in the trunk.

Upon inspection there was indeed water in the trunk. So after removing the water, I crawled in the trunk and had a guy shut the deck lid and start spraying water all along where the rubber meet the sheet metal and there wasn't any leak.

Well this went on and on; the lady arrived with water in her trunk, I'd clean it up then climb in, the water would be sprayed and it wouldn't leak.

Finally, FINALLY, She brought the caddie in and there were pine needles in the crack between the body and the deck lid. I asked her about them and she said that she had several pine trees and that when they would get there she'd take the caddie to the car wash and used the pressurized wand to blow them out!

She'd been forcing the water between the seal and the sheet metal! I can't tell you how many hours that I'd wasted looking for a leak that wasn't there!

Ah winter...
It will be -17 Celsius tonight. -30 with the wind chill. It is a tad nippy here.
I'm probably going to make myself a hot chocolate with some Chambord.
Stay warm, my friends.
Only two more months to go.

What is -17 Celsius ?? ...they tried ramming that metric crap down our throats many years ago...but it didn't stick...thank God.

1.4F according to Google. I think I would prefer that to the 5" of snow and the additional 2-4" by tomorrow 10am.

to all of you.
