Weather

[shadowgray396]

Thought we might miss winter this year. Snow this morning and more on the way this weekend into next week. Not really a lot expected, just enough to make the roads slick.

[flash]

Last few days here in Ga have been like Spring .

[Hank70SS]

Sub-zero highs last week followed by several days of 50 degree weather. Freezing rain last night. High of 55 tomorrow, high of 23 Friday. Temps are all over the place.

[mestorod70]

The dodo is still alive!

[flash]

Had a high of 80 yesterday ,may have made it to 50 today ,high in the 40's tomorrow .

[Hank70SS]

Low 50's last night when I went to bed. Less than 24 hrs later it's 14 degrees. 30 to 40 mph winds all day.

[shadowgray396]

Snow again tonight. Predicted to hang around all week.

[carpoor]

Have had mostly high 70s, low 80s. Rain the next few days. We'll be back in the 80s by Tuesday. High was 74-75 today.

[chevymaher]

LOL I just happy the bamboo made it.

[shadowgray396]

Weather persons predicted a week of snow. Everyone went out a bought the groceries stores out and got chains or snow tires for the big event to come. Last night they said we got it wrong and it’s going to be warm up and just rain. They seem to always get it wrong when it comes to snow. I mowed the lawns today. Go figure.

[carpoor]

I think I saw 83 today, was a beautiful day.

[flash]

It has rained off and on here for months , Im ready for several months of Drought and some Sunshine .

[chevymaher]

LOL Me to Flash. River is flooded up to the stadiums and Coney Island. I am sure the boat landing is up in the parking lot by the kids swings.

I am ready to order my new boat motor and go fishing I am done with the wind and rain LOL.

And for the chevelle lovers my wife keeps talking about finishing the chev now. WHAT? She ready it seems like.

I am building a 68 chevelle mofel now the newly released on from Revelle. I hand made a boat model of my boat from scratch.

https://i.postimg.cc/RFN317BG/P-20190210-152726-LL-640x640.jpg

[Hank70SS]

Nice work on the model boat. What make boat? We have Chaparral bow rider, hasn't been in the water for a few years.

[chevymaher]

Thank you. Four winns 170 horizon. They don't make boat models so I made my own from scratch.

Chapparrals are nice. I am on a boat forum where they restore these things. I am getting a new engine for the boat this week. Ordering it anyway. I rebuilt the outdrive beginning of winter. I was out in it last summer once I redid the hull. Motor is clanking it is time for a new one.

[shadowgray396]

Rain, and no snow around here, only in the mountains and they are getting hammered. Minor flooding lately in some area's. Cold and the snow never happened for us.

[carpoor]

We are in for a warm one tomorrow, 85 degrees. Today I saw 80, was way too nice of a day to be at work.

[mestorod70]

The water is warming up nicely here.
Its time to go fish the skyway for macks

[flash]

Its raining again here like it has forever it seems , I really need a Sunshine Fix .

[carpoor]

Rain Tuesday and Wednesday... damnit.

[flash]

Rain here all week , up to 10 inches .

[chevymaher]

River going out of flood stage and coldish. 20's at night. 40-50 in the days.

[flash]

I think we may have reached 50 today and the rain has not stopped , there is a creek running thru my yard where there should not be . I have never seen a winter this wet in all my 56 years . Im so ready for some DROUGHT .

[chevymaher]

LOL I got a creekbed running right by my back door on the house. That is a constant battle keeping it from flowin into the house. Few leaves a little mud and bingo stream changes course.

[flash]

Mine is real close to my shop where all my toys are at .

[shadowgray396]

33 and trying to snow. Parts of Oregon have snow, but we don’t.

[carpoor]

Had a high of 73 yesterday, down from 86-87 over the weekend. Currently 59, supposed to go to 75. Rain starting in the early afternoon.

[Hank70SS]

We had a big thaw last week. Had a good size lake in the back yard, it's all gone now. No worries with it though, it was 100' from the house.

[flash]

I heard we had already had over 40% of our annual rainfall in 2 months time and its about to rain again , I need some Drought . My Mud is about to Drown again .

[chevymaher]

LOL we just had snow. it is mud here to.

[shadowgray396]

Clear and still cold here. Feels like January and not March.

[Hank70SS]

Clear and still cold here. Feels like January and not March.

Sure does. We're back into single digit lows most of this week. We haven't had a lot of rain or snow but the temps have been brutal.

[carpoor]

85 yesterday, not sure if it even touched 60 today. Seemed to hover around 55-58 most of the day. Supposed to dip into the upper 30s overnight. Back into the 80s this weekend...

[flash]

Its brutal cold here in Ga with strong winds but at least the rain has stopped .

[shadowgray396]

Broke 60 here yesterday finally and have a 70 degree day coming up this week.

[chevymaher]

Today was one of those odd days. went up to fifty. Then temp dropped real fast it snowed a little. Then warmed up to 50 again. 49 out there now.

[carpoor]

We had three days of gloomy, mid 60s, and rain. Today was great, 75 and sunny. Supposed to warm up even more over the weekend.

[carpoor]

It has been HOT! Mid to upper 90s almost every day. Today, we finally got a good, hard rain. It's 78 degrees right now, was 94 around 2pm. So thankful for the rain. :ntwrthy:

[FlintTony]

This has been a rotten spring up here. Not been warm at all. More rain than we have had in years. The Great Lakes are at an all time high level.

[Hank70SS]

On the plus side Tony, your place here may be lake front property soon. Today was really nice, upper 70's, low humidity. Supposed to be nice tomorrow too, BUT then up to an inch of rain on Monday.

[flash]

Its rained here off and on for 3 days but the worst has not come yet .

[chevymaher]

LOL I mentioned I got a boat. Well I need it I think. It never stops raining

[FlintTony]

We finally had a good day yesterday. Around 80 degrees, no rain, and a light breeze. About damned time. Supposed to be a pretty good day today too.

[flash]

It has rained pretty hard here most of the day but we still managed to rescue a 67 GMC truck from a barn , it was in there tight too .

[Hank70SS]

Another nice day here, for a change. Around 80, low humidity and sunny until a little while ago. Not supposed to rain tomorrow but will be cloudy.

[Hank70SS]

Another rain out today. We're having a hard time keeping the grass cut. Either you cut 2 days after you just cut it or you have to wait a week because of the rain. Then it's so long and moist you need to go over twice to clean it up. I'm sick of rain. I finished all but a couple of sections of railing on the deck and it was miserable outside. In the mid 80's and humid. Next day highs in the low 60's. If it's not cold and raining it's hot and humid, enough already. I guess I shouldn't complain, we don't have flooding and storms/tornadoes but still this is ridiculous.

[FlintTony]

HANK, HANK, HANK, get up!!!!! It's not raining this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First day in a looooong time for here.

[Hank70SS]

Ya, and I have to spend the day at our daughters. Helping Henry build a new fireplace surround for her. Mantel, wood columns, tile hearth and around the fireplace.

[carpoor]

Unbearably hot, humid, and rains almost every day around 2pm. It is going to be an active "season" this year. (Hurricanes and tropical storms)

[Hank70SS]

It's been pretty active already in portions of the country. Torrential rain, flooding and tornadoes. We've had plenty of rain but most of the flooding is along the lakes. Lot's of wind from the east pushing the lakes up on shore while the rivers are trying to drain into the lakes.

[mestorod70]

Hotter than the devils dick here.
It aint hell.....but i can see it in the distance.

[chevymaher]

Hotter than the devils dick here.
It aint hell.....but i can see it in the distance.

it is isn't it? I don't even want to go out in the boat it is so miserable outside,

[Hank70SS]

Been in the 90's, heat index over 100 with the humidity. Had a little shower Friday evening when we were out to dinner. 4" of rain in 45 minutes. That's pretty much unheard of here. We get plenty of rain but an inch in one day is a pretty good rain. 4" in 45 minutes, wow. Still over 600,000 people in SE Michigan without power. We didn't lose power, had TV and internet when we got home but it was gone in the morning and most of Saturday. So we're heading up to Mackinaw tomorrow for the week. Supposed to be in the 70's there all week. YES!

[mestorod70]

it is isn't it? I don't even want to go out in the boat it is so miserable outside,

BOAT...i wish i had a boat....ive been looking at center consoles
but need my credit card payed down first.
Next year for sure.

[chevymaher]

BOAT...i wish i had a boat....ive been looking at center consoles
but need my credit card payed down first.
Next year for sure.

They are fun. I did the chevelle thing. Restored one. Ground up as they say. Nothing it old now.

[Hank70SS]

We enjoyed the boat when we had our place up north. Sold the place and haven't used the boat since, it's at our son's house now. Was all set to transfer to Charlotte, N.C. for work. Put the place up for sale, found a buyer then they canceled the transfer. Boy was I pissed. There's a lot of lakes around here but they're small, crowded and fished out, nothing like Lake Huron. Not sure if it's still true but Michigan had more registered boats than any other state.

[Hank70SS]

Another storm Monday. Our son, about 7 miles north of us, is still without power. He's in the middle of a large area that was out. That's been restored except a small area around his house. We have a generator but never lost power so they came over for dinner and to take showers last night. Sucks when you don't even have running water.

[carpoor]

94 today, it was hot! However, it is starting to feel cooler and less humid in the evenings. I figure we have another 2-3 months of this.

[Hank70SS]

It cooled down here a few days ago. Got to open the windows and give the A/C a rest. 58 degrees when I got up this morning.

[flash]

It was a cloudy , almost fall like day here today in Ga , yesterday was brutal hot and humid and I had to work all day out in it . I drank water like a fish and sweated it out as fast as I took it in . It was nice to come home shower and collapse .

[carpoor]

We've got a hurricane headed our way, supposed to make landfall around 8am Monday. Hopefully it turns north and misses us. I am really worried about the garage and the contents.

[FlintTony]

I hope that it does miss you Brian. The models are saying it may turn north before it gets to Florida. The river that borders our proprty is only 1/2" from flood stage now. If the hurricane does hit, it will be bad for our area.

[mestorod70]

I think im ready for our dorian visit.
50 gallons gas in cans....chevelle full...truck full..jeep full.
8000 wat generator full and tested....hooks up to the house panel.
A portable AC unit for the bedroom.
Chef boyardee is my new friend.
Hurricane shutters are ready to go up.
Good luck to all in the path of this bitch.

[carpoor]

Looks like the storm is making a turn away from us. But, who knows what it will do until it happens? I have done all of my preps and got my folks situated. Been working long days, tomorrow is supposed to be a short/slow day. Just let my dogs out, still 83 degrees and humid.

[Hank70SS]

Looks like you 'might' be spared the worst of it. we'll keep our fingers crossed for you. Latest track keeps it off shore but it is 500 miles across.

[carpoor]

Humid! I swear, we get a few decent mornings in the mid to upper 60s. Then the heat and humidity returns. We're halfway through October! Enough is enough. Supposed to rain this weekend and into next week... tropical storm in the gulf.

[FlintTony]

It will be better next weekend Brian. Well, I'm hoping anyways. I will be back down there the 26th. Hopefully.

[carpoor]

Friday morning was great... today, not so much. Higher temps returning next week.

[FlintTony]

Friday morning was great... today, not so much. Higher temps returning next week.

I'm down here now. Weather guys are saying record high temps next week. I'll take that over freezing temps. My AC in the shop is broken again. Long story about that shit. I may make a new post on this fiasco.

[chevymaher]

rain and cold moving in here

[carpoor]

Wednesday was great, then this heat and humidity reared its ugly head again. Supposed to be 90 here tomorrow.

[chevymaher]

45 now and 70 supposed to be. It is going to rain again. We are spiraling helplessly into winter.

I was doing paint chip touch ups from the damn hood hinge again. Looking good you can see it anymore.

[Hank70SS]

45 now and 70 supposed to be. It is going to rain again. We are spiraling helplessly into winter...

Think on the bright side, your winter is nothing like ours. Rain today and tomorrow and Thursday. Snow up north and we may see a few flakes this week. We cleaned up the leaves and cut the grass yesterday but 90% of the leaves are still in the trees. They'll probably come down when the snow flakes come down.

[shadowgray396]

No rain in the last couple of weeks, midday high around 60's and lows around 30°.

[chevymaher]

We are supposed to have snow in a week or so. flurries that melt and are gone in a hour stuff. That is the beginning tho.

I am waiting on my catalog. I waxed inside and out ran the sweeper in the car. I am ready to get this show on the road interior time. Quicker i get the catalog the quicker I do the order and get it on the way to me.

My buddy gave me a card to the engne machine shop guy I am going to use. He used him for his chevelle. That white 72 is back to life now.

Guy does nothing but build drag engines and being a hillbilly like me. There are tractor pulls. He builds 496's for them. He says his 496's see 8500 rpm within seconds of starting. He thinks it be just fine in my chevelle. He likes my deal I bring the block he does the rest. Here you go son I dare you try to break it.

I think i like him already. I gonna try to stay under 7 so it have a safety margin. It is a street car for Pete's sake I dont need that kind of cam.

Boat is put up for winter. It is chevelle time.

[FlintTony]

Sounds like you are going to have a wicked engine in that Chevelle! Are you going to try and "break" it?

[carpoor]

The humidity was awful today, got a quick rainstorm this afternoon.

[BillsCamino]

70s today...rain tomorrow...frost warning Friday AM.
Crazy !!!

[chevymaher]

Sounds like you are going to have a wicked engine in that Chevelle! Are you going to try and "break" it?

I always had nasty chevelles. And camaros. Just not this nice looking. More the patina type before that was in style. It was because I was broke. Spent to much on the motor.

No I just want to be able to snap it sideways on the freeway and play with the hellcats. To me that is what a chevelle was about. I am not a numbers matching guy obviously. When you blow by that fast who can see them anyway,

Honestly I am older I gonna be reasonably sane. No Dukes of Hazzard Stuff going on. You know just take off a little whoops sideways every now and again. And got the balls to back its play unless you got a serious drag car.

Go to the Philmores(Ice cream stand literally) on cruise night. It is just the way this batch of hillbillies are. We all rode dirt bikes in the woods together when we were kids. Now we are all psychotic car nuts. It will be exactly like the rest of the cars there. Look decent and run decent. By our neck of the woods hillbilly standards.

Cops sit side by side in the lot next door and babysit us. Make sure no body gets to frisky LOL.

Go there meet your buddies. Sit in your chairs. Drink sodas and shoot the bull about old times.

Went by the other day. LOL there was a big block 87 impala or caprice. Factory color scheme and interior. Quiet pipes. Wheel tubs and steam roller tires.

This stuff been going on since I can remember. we used to ride out bikes up to watch the street races. It was called the Friches 500 back then. Then it went to the white castles. Then McDonalds on dream street. Hot Rod Magazine did a article about that and Waltons mountain. Now it is meeting at philmores.

It is just the heritage of the part of town I grew up in. It has been a while i miss home. I literally grew up in a house 100 yards from the place. I used to mop floors after they closed as a first job. It was Reeves then but still a Ice Cream stand.

[FlintTony]

I think that I want to come hang out with you guys. Sounds like a great time!

[carpoor]

Overcast, temps dropping. Got a friend coming in From Michigan tomorrow, picking up a 77 T/A.

[Hank70SS]

I think that I want to come hang out with you guys. Sounds like a great time!

I agree. I'd like to hang out there too.

[carpoor]

Beautiful day in the mid to low 70s. Finally feeling like fall.

[chevymaher]

26 high low 14 tomorrow. tonight only 20

[shadowgray396]

Raining today, around 50°.

[Hank70SS]

8" to 10" of snow yesterday, last night. Highs in the low 20's, average is low 50's. Low tonight of 5. This is is still the beginning of November isn't it? Maybe the trees will think about dropping their leaves now.

[BillsCamino]

Windy and 31 here right now...thankfully the rain ended this morning.
Was 66 degrees yesterday at this time.

[carpoor]

Woke up to 65 degrees this morning, had a high of 83 this afternoon. Tomorrow - supposed to be 52 around 6am, with a high of 68. "Cold front" ;)

[Hank70SS]

I'll take that cold front!

[BillsCamino]

Yeah...was 24 when I got up this morning.
Had an appointment at 11am to get the tires rotated and balanced on my truck.

There was a long line at Discount Tire...people wanting tire pressure air checks.
I'd bet a lot of TPS triggered with these colder temps.

[shadowgray396]

rain and 50's for the highs. Looks like clear and colder the rest of the week. But no snow in the mountains for a opening for skiing on Thanksgiving weekend.

[carpoor]

A real cold front tonight... supposed to be around 37-38 degrees by 7am tomorrow.

[Hank70SS]

Light snow right now. Weather here sucks right now.

[carpoor]

Mid 70s today, back in the 80s the next three days. High chance of rain tomorrow.

[Hank70SS]

Well looks like most of the country is getting some pretty crappy weather. We now have lake front property. Back of yard is filling up, fortunately our house sits up high. Supposed to get 2-3" of rain on top of the frozen ground. Temps have dropped close to 20 degrees the last few hours. Then this rain coming down will be freezing rain. Glad we have a standby generator.

[Ken Hayes]

Taken about 15 gal of water out of the basement so far. Glad its in the back section.

[chevymaher]

It is like springtime here. I literally got the air cond on right now. It should be 0 to 20 below right now.

Raining like crazy 62 outside and it is dark. Park is flooding as we just went by

[Hank70SS]

We lucked out, a little snow and not really any freezing rain. Other areas around here weren't so lucky. Our lake in back soaked in overnight.

[carpoor]

Dipped into the mid 40s this morning, supposed to be in the mid 80s later this week. :confused:

[chevymaher]

It is crazy here. I had the A/C on last night. I got flower bulbs coming up in plastic tubs. My question is how do they know it is warm out. Same bulbs usually dont come up like that till late march in the basement

[carpoor]

86 today... 64 tomorrow. Crazy weather, tornado watch until later tonight.

[chevymaher]

LOL it is still real warm for here. But 28 and snow this morning.

[carpoor]

Been in the 80s the past few days. Supposed to be only 56 Friday. Then 80s again by Monday.

[chevymaher]

It is all over the place here. I got trees with leaves already a big one coming out fast. it goes between 10 and 70 in a few day cycle.

[carpoor]

It is miserable here, 94 in the shade. High humidty to boot. I worked two hours outside today, NOPE! I came back inside and am hoping for rain to cool things down some. It is going to be a hot summer here.

[mestorod70]

And the heat goes on.
When its too hot to sit by the pool and drink beer its bloody hot.
I need to get my mister system hooked up again.

[Hank70SS]

Same here. Humidity has gone up, only 86 right now. Then it goes up, 88, 89, 90. Not sure how much work I'll get done on the boat. Early in the morning it's in the shade then in the sun all afternoon. Guess it's better than snow.

[mestorod70]

It was 102 in the shade on my patio yesterday.
Turned on my mister system and got it down to 90.
Ive been thinking of building a cool can for it.

[Hank70SS]

Okay, that's just too hot. I'd be indoors with the AC cranking.

[shadowgray396]

Finally summer is here. Been close to 100 the last few days. Back to around 85 now. Finally bought a house with air conditioning. Its been great.

[Hank70SS]

We've been in a heat wave too. Upper 80's to mid 90's with plenty of humidity. Our A/C has been cranking for about a month now. Usually we get a stretch where it's on for maybe a week then we can turn it off and open the house up. Only one day this summer that the temps haven't been over 80.

[shadowgray396]

The last two weeks have been interesting. We were evacuated on a Level 3 order from our new house due to wild fires. One of the first things loaded up was the Chevelle along with things that could not be replaced. Move back in last Sunday.

[chevymaher]

Not good on most of the post. But good to see your car again.

[carpoor]

91 degrees and humid today. :rolleyes:

[carpoor]

Tropical storm warning in effect currently. I expect lots of rain, we are in Hurricane season.

[chevymaher]

I am going to florida tomorrow for the storm LOL.

[shadowgray396]

Been over a 100 now for a week. Not getting much done outside. I can’t even work my crews past 90 degrees any more with all the new OSHA work rules.

[carpoor]

Mid 90s and afternoon showers are the norm. It's generally 100+ with the heat index. I literally cannot wait for "winter."
