First "major" snow storm of the season. Judging by the traffic you would thing we got 3 feet of ice. Took me 45 minutes to go 2 miles on local roads.

We got less than 2 inches. Roads were mostly clear with a few slushy spots. I hate to see what it will be like when things really get bad. Did everyone in Pittsburgh suddenly forget how to drive in the snow?

I will blame it on all of those snowflake millennial Google type immigrants. By now they are tucked away in their safe space dealing with the stress of all of that snow!

Same here and it happens every year. It's as if everyone needs to relearn how to drive in snow.

Between 1 and 2 inches on the deck but that did not keep me from grilling out. Pick up a nice piece of filet Mignon for ~$7.00. For some reason the one store of a huge chain has it really cheap once in a while. Makes me thing the manager does not know the price of filet or it is really road kill marked filet.

 

I strictly adhere to the standard grilling season which runs from January 1st through December 31st here.





I think it is against the law to prepare good beef on anything other than an outside grill.

Reminds me of when I lived in L.A. But there, they had to relearn how to drive in the rain.

I was wondering how you could BBQ I forget about Brickets, I think I'm going to try to use some in my radiant BBQ

Edit: Drivers on the first day of real snow follow the survival of the fittest rule, their cars are no longer drivable second day is much easier than the first with them off the road.

 

Today is more snow and I would guess the guys in western PA are seeing about the same. This is the part I hate. Then too the house is well stocked and I have no reason to go out in this crap anymore. Went to a Christmas Lunch on Monday with my old department from work. Been retired 4 years and so many new faces. A few guys did what I used to do and took 1/2 day off so we all stayed at the bar after lunch. Glad it was Monday before the snow hit.

It is headed our way now. Thanks a lot Ron!!



P.S. I am staying in too. Got smart and worked from home today. I was going to go to the gym but the snow is an excuse to stay in.

Truth be known we can thank our friends across the northern border. Max, Audio Guru and all those guys sent this stuff here. After moving to Cleveland I discovered "Canadian Clipper" is not the name of a big boat.

It is time to start building that wall! Only problem is I figure it will need to be about 10K meters tall.

Oh and I am still blaming you Ron.

That's OK. We had a tradition where I worked. The blame for anything and everything that went wrong was always blamed on the last guy to have retired. Monday I heard of all this stuff I was blamed for after I left. Felt good to know I was blamed for failures of systems which were installed two years after I left that I was never aware of when I left. Damn, with age I have developed a thick skin.

I've had the heat on for 3 days, but this time I remembered to simmer a pot of water when the dew point got to 40F. None of those nasty static sparks inside my house.

Up here in NE Ohio along with cold the weather brings a very low humidity. During the summer we try to suck water out of the air and during winter we try to put water in the air. High humidity is the worst enemy of metal as we can cultivate rust. Every now and then I like to see what is going on inside my gun safe and I ran a test a few days ago.



The safe sits in a corner, lagged to the concrete floor. Typical winter numbers of RH under 40% and Temperature around 60 F. which is what I want in there. Temp outside this morning is about 25 F.

I have a different problem, the guns I have are guitars and humidity and wood are an issue. I have a 40 years old guitar I recently had the fret board re-done, I paid $50 for it cost me $200 to straighten it because someone didn't take care of it. It's essential to humidify the guitar case or create and environment suitable for the guitar 35% humidity above that the wood swells below 15% it cracks for warps.

I'm glad my brother takes care of the guns. I have a sweet over and under Browning 20 gauge that needs to be shot, but I think the barrel with the new loads might eat it up?
