Weird weather day

Believe me :exclamation: … it’s Cape Cod :exclamation:
Today when I woke up in Sudbury MA there another snow storm was underway, during my sleep there was another 4 inches, with 12 expected, I reloaded in Billerica MA, it was now 8 inches deep, I drove off the scale and reversed up to get my ticket, and dropped the wheels of my trailer into a 3ft deep trench that was full of snow, so it looked like level land, in doing so I demolished a traffic light :laughing: My first damage to anything in 25 years … I’m gutted :cry: no bonus this time :cry:

Sorry to hear about your misfortune , with the hidden ditch Pat and

just to cheer you up a little, we are haveing some bad weather

also here in GERMANY, and the silly ++++ are still driving around

with SUMMER tyres, The amount of accidents is causing the

insurance firms a headache , Monday the cost was 15 million$$$

worth. So I hope that cheers you up ,as you have yet read you

are not on your own,

Our car is a Ford Focus Street Edition with wide, low profiles, great on wet or dry roads, but total crap on ice and snow, there is no traction of any sort :exclamation:

This week I got Kate a birthday gift of a Jeep Wrangler Sport :slight_smile: She won’t loose traction in that :laughing:

I went back to southern Mass today and it was STILL snowing :exclamation: this is the heaviest snow fall in that state since records began, it is now 5 ft in some areas. Add to this the extreem cold, I’m talking 50 degrees of frost, en-route today several electronic devices froze up on my truck, Speedometer, brake lights and cruise.
The speedo only worked when the truck reached 30 mph and as there is a safety feature which stops the engine reving over 1500 rpm when the speedo is at 0 mph it took a few extra minutes to get to 30 and the limiter switch off. So far this week I have got through 8 gallons of washer fluid :exclamation:

It sounds like you are really up agains’t it Pat :cry: it’s gone really warm here!
Majorca has had the biggest snowfall in 70 years! :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

We get ‘Frost heaves’ here, the constant freezing condtions for a month or two freeze the ground below the road and push it up in regular humps, it can be like driving on a wash board. Last night I took Kate’s new toy for a test drive of about 20 miles, at 55 mph it was like trying to drive a bouncy castle :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I’m quite warm today … I have taken the day off and havn’t been out :laughing:

We’re in the grip of an Ice Storm, and have been since about 9.00pm last night.

Temperature at the 0 degrees C here in Saskatoon.
Bright & sunny, quite warm, actually :laughing: :laughing:
Even washed the truck this morning & when I pulled out of the wash… IT DIDN’T FREEZE :open_mouth: :smiley:
Things are looking up here in “Stoon” :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Don’t get too over confident Steve :slight_smile:

Next thing you know Steve, it’ll be -20 and snowing again, and all that wet stuff will be ice :frowning: I kind of learned very quickly to be wary of warm days in winter. They’re worse than the real cold ones in some ways.

HEATWAVE :exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation:

It it reached 0c today :laughing:

Thursday and Friday we got hammered with snow :exclamation: It started about 7.00pm thurs and was still comming down at midnight Fri. I had to take Kate’s bouncy castle to work and at one point drove through a 3 ft wall of snow :exclamation:

Such fun :smiley:

Snow■■? :open_mouth: It’s been in the 60’s down here for the past several days! :sunglasses: :wink:

Been in T shirts since Thursday and I’ve already started loading the truck with my summer clothes :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :wink: :laughing:

…mind you, it’s still a bit nippy at night, best I keep a couple of jumpers handy for a little while longer :wink: .

Cliff… you’d better have appreciation for my new found restraint on this one :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

if it makes you feel better kate, all that snow you had was rain down here and has melted everything. i think it was in the 50s today.

It was beautiful out today… alot of it has melted here too… but winters coming back before the end of the week :cry:

We hit a new record high in Ohio yesterday of 65 :sunglasses: for January…but back down to the 30’s today. I was reading that NASA experts have predicted this summer should be one of the hottest since records began.
