It’s going down!
The ice and snow, that is! Temps going up and by this early time tomorrow morn 52 degree and 100% rain. However, this is just a good example of the local yearly January thaw which lasts for a short time then followed by more severe winter storms albeit not nearly as cold. Red Red Robins and motorcycles, the harbingers of Spring, are still a long way off. But I’m going to enjoy the warm rain while it lasts, take the opportunity to clean the filth from under my pu truck.

Re: It’s going down!
The last two days here have been great but more cold is coming for the weekend. Yesterday I was outside with short sleeves on all day.
But like you said, we have more coming. January and February are our worst two months. March is always a gamble. You never know what it will do. But even in the worst months we have good days.

Re: It’s going down!
Typical deep south weather pattern...this time of the year is somewhat unpredictable ....we could have abundant sunshine and in the 70's......
or cloudy and temps in the mid 20's......fun fun fun....
Golfing and riding motorcycles are a hit and miss affair.
.but it's much better than what you Yankees are going through in the same time span... [emoji106]

Re: It’s going down!
We had just colder temps the last 10 days but no snow or ice for that matter.
Yesterday it was a heat wave at 60*.
We took advantage of the warm day with a 50 mile run on the Goldwings.

Re: It’s going down!
We got two days high 40's first and 58 the second. Most of the snow melted off but not before it took down the gutters on my dormer (a first). Took a better look today and I have some damaged siding, cracked basement window, flashing, my arborvitaes got trashed, and of course all but 3' of the upper guttering. Insurance company will take care of most.
Was looking around and it appears that my damage was shared by many in the region. That much snow is just going to make more ice hanging as it melts. I am going to put some heat strips in the dormer guttering before next winter. If it happens once, who knows when it might happen again.

Re: It’s going down!
Yesterday 60 and heavy rain, only vestiges of ice and snow. Rain turned to ice last night then snow, 12 inches of fresh i had to move at noon. Tonight going down to minus 12. January thaw was short lived.
