[Chubaka]

Finally
Haven't seen snow in ages

It was a surprise I thought it wouldn't be til later tonight
Looks like some snow flurries all day and into the night
Hopefully a day off school tomorrow
But they always make the decision last minute so we will see.
And here we go again with that mysterious green blob

Sidewalk is cleared, street is not. Idk I just woke up

 

[remote uncontrol]

I just woke up to this

The weird thing is that we have only had a tiny bit of snow and a ton of sleet

 

[Tunedfrog]

2°F this morning. Too cold to even go XC skiing right now.

30degF here with light freezing rain and ice fog. Nasty day. Snow on the way. . . for Houston!

6-10AM energy conserve request this morning because of a weak power grid. Took advantage of it to shut down all the electrics in the house (except the furnace, of course). Ran a full-on home-brew base operations exercise (BaseOpsEx).

Took our internet gateway off-line and powered all the electronics down. Emergency radio AM/FM/Weather and Ham 2meter band monitoring. Battery lanterns. Inventoried and tested the emergency kit and caboodle. Everything except powering up the RC LiPo charger off the truck battery. Too bleepin cold for that.

Good to go for the inevitable power outage. Got the sleeping bags out of closet storage just in case.

My thought exactly. My dad got a new truck years ago. Withing the first month was a hail storm. I kept telling him nows a good chance to have gun without a ticket.

Lately it'll snow overnight, but during the day the rain melts it away lol. I'm not complaining though. Today is actually pretty nice and sunny out, but still cold.

Good to hear you're prepared and taking action to keep yourself and family safe. What frequency are you monitoring on 2metets? I'm a ham and do ARES here in N Colorado. K0PMO

VHF 2m 146.915 active here. Haven't done a dedicated search beyond the one freq I found. What is active your loc.? Is there an FCC or Ham national recommended emergency opns 2m freq I should monitor?

Ham operators were (and still are apparently) a good source of emergency info.

[former] KN0VNC/K0VNC 6meter here. 1960s. Still know and practice Morse code from time to time to keep sharp. Never know when it might come in handy.

 

[Doom!]

We had a nice peaceful fog this morning. Wanted to stay outside, but had to eventually go to work.

Local repeaters are best I've found. With most of the repeaters up in the mountains I can hit from Denver to Cheyenne Wyoming most of the time. Check in and let them know you're montering. You could also check the net for ARES repeaters in your area. The magic ban is always fun when it's open. Still -5 here at the house right now. Good day for grill cheese and tomato soup for lunch.

I can't ski in this crap, my already destroyed lungs can't handle it.
