Forecast of 6 - 9" of snow. we got a good 9" here I think. I had to run the snow blower twice that day 😮 I'm hoping that this weekend's storm misses us, I don't have anywhere else to put this stuff! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Thanks for the snow pics...Can use them down here...Probably low 80's here for high. Having to run AC at times. If this keeps up, skeeters an other bugs will rule. Not to wish anyone cold weather or work related but, calendar shows winter but the reality sinking in fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 We have enough of that white crap to roll a decent snowman... it is still coming down. Prolly 4 inches on the ground. thinking of snagging the granddaughter and going to the park.. Make snow people. It feels warmer than yesterday. It was 45`, raining and windy.

MC39693 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 You are right Emile ... -40 is the crossover! Calgary has warmed, gotten a ton of snow, then cold cold, and warm and looking to cool off again. Vancouver island (Victoria) had more snow last week than since the ice age. Daughter had to dig out the drive way and left her car on hill (she's a good winter driver having learned in Northern Alberta) due to cars all over the place on the way home. It was parked on the hill for 2 days before she could get it home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were on the edge of the heavy stuff; they actually shut down MSP for part of the day. You almost never see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Canadian, good deal, at least you have a good excuse, probably no big deal for her. For a Canadian no problem, for a Southerner, very serious and a little scary, I don't even have clothes for that kind of weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have to buy a bigger jacket once we moved here, along with a few snow shovels and a snow blower so what's this I read up above about a pepper crop? I've got a couple ferments going now but could use some more supplies this year. Is that oldtimer and JohnJ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted February 23, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 23, 2019 A few people were growing peppers and oldtimer sell sauce, it is very good, Carl grows and also Jimjimbo, not sure who else, maby JohnJ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like dtel said @oldtimer is the pro hot sauce meister, and @jimjimbo probably too, he has had some mouthwatering pics of his potted peppers to show us the last year! Me?... nah can't eat too many of them especially habaneros, but do have to have nachos a couple times a month, or quesadillas done right in the frying pan with Cabot X Sharp cheddar, bacon, onion, chili powder and my new fave ripe j a p s. Like red bell peppers compared to green have that sweetness, the red jalapenos have that plus more scovilles! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to grow my own here but I don't know if I'm able to, given our short growing season. 3 hours ago, dtel said: 80 today and windy, and rain this evening but the next two days it cools off a little, the high 60s. It got up to 32 here today, so there was a bit of melting. However, we also got another 4" overnight, and there's more to come tonight as well 😐 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
