I got a wind-chill warning at work this morning.  It is spring, right?!??!?!  The predicted high this week is 50ish but with rain that day and then the temps drop back into the 30s. 

due to extreme laziness I've been driving into work without a jacket when it's 32 degrees outside, because it gets into the 50s on the ride home.

 

meh.

Seriously, another 1-4" of snow today - tonight.

Where the hell do you live, Siberia?  It's beautiful down here (other than I don't know whether to keep the air on "cool" or "heat" indoors).

While the shed actually looked pretty good after popping the roof out again this year it would not have held any weight so....

Took steps to help it with that.

Remove beams.

Beat metal with hammer until somewhat straight.

 

 

Install new screws.

 

Doesn't leak, not to bad looking except it fucked with the patina.

Have some 12" 2x2s to screw to the beams but that will have to wait until it's warmer and not raining.

 

Fin.

The mold armor stuff was OK but will pay the extra couple of bucks for Krud Kutter next time.

Single stage snowblower = worthless for wet, heavy snow. :D

Won't be sitting on the deck today.

I'm winter.  Fuck you very much.  Sorry Chicagolanders.

Why is this thread getting updated already?  It's not even December.  Sorry everyone who already got piled on with snow.

My sympathies to anyone getting hit by this shit already.  Eventual cheers.

So much for El Niño leading to a dry warm winter in Chicago

Guess I waited to long to visit. When will the deck be usable again? Our winter ends sometime in February...

Easter, if you are lucky

Late March or April Shelly. Unless we get lucky.

Yeah, our back yard looks about the same. [emoji45]

I think I might put on a sweater.

THIS THIS THIS.  I hate this new editor even more. THIS. SERIOUSLY IT'S TOO SOON FOR SNOW I'M STILL STACKING FIREWOOD. THIS.  No really the buttons don't even do what the fuck they're supposed to. THIS. NO SNOW PLS. MY PLOW GUY RETIRED AND I NEED TO GET A NEW ONE. It's a good thing I only post sodding picture links, trying to enter text is a beknighted chore. NO REALY DON'T EVEN SAY THE "S" WORD. THIS.

$4,800 to fix a RAV4 that slid on black ice into a curb at 5mph sucks.  The majority was $3,100 parts and labor for a steering rack?  Seriously?  The cost to fix the car is half what we could sell it for...

Rained here today, snowed up in the mountains.

It's been raining a lot here, which is weird.  It started pouring rain while I was in a dim sum shop in SF this afternoon, and that turned to dense pea-sized hail for half a minute or so.  Made people ooh and ah.

We got a bit of snow here last night, but my daughter's flight from Chile > Houston > Colorado was delayed 2.5 hours because of snow in Houston, not due to our weather!
