RAIN? On frozen ground? The wind is next, to smooth it all out for a nice skating rink, then back to freezing again to hold that shape.

Maybe for you, Andy but in my neck of the woods it maybe got up to 50ish and then the temp plummeted and the rain came back with a vengence. I packed it in early from work and went home soggy at about 3pm.

I hate rain...

wow...it sounds like it's supposed to make it to 53º today, but not before it rains like heck and the wind barrels through. This is the second storm we've had like this in about 2 weeks...strong weather and warm temps leading into bitter cold. The wind took down some billboards, and the construction site next to my apartment is a mess. The has been bizarre everywhere...I don't think we've even gotten 2" of snow this year.

Hey Lance. I had to go out salting in that. It was ALMOST pointless. But it was slippery. That's when people for sure fall though. Mostly because they think "Oh, it's only raining" and they don't pay attention to the ice that is WAY slippery with the water on it.

Gotta love that diesel! At least the stacks!

Ill second that, about a mile from my house, some stupid guy flipped his but out on a coutnry road, Set the hil on fire, it slowly rolled up the hill, Then the fire hit a uncut dried up hay field and took off. peggs had upwards of 15 inidivual fires, and locust had 8. they fought it from noon til midnight.
