Now it's 530 and the last sliver of sun is already about gone. Only the beginning.
And thus will begin angry posts fueled by winter's wrath. :hick:
In all honesty if the northeast gets smacked with as much precipitation as this boring rainy summer had....then maybe we'll actually have some SNOW and my buddy will have me up to the lake....uh...once maybe even *more* than once to go snowmobiling. :rollin:
I also think back to HAVI's signature last year "SOMEDAY IT MIGHT STOP SNOWING" :rollin: :rollin:
Farmer's Almanac predicts more than average snow, and lower than average temp. An indication of what Summer was like fer sure.
Im expecting a pretty extreme winter after the summer we had. It was really cool all summer. I dont think we broke 100 this year.
Got over 100 degrees here only 2 or 3 times...I remember seeing 70+ in February for the second time in as many years. I agree, winter is most likely going to be a real ball-freezing affair. For those without balls, other parts will surely feel the numb bite of the cold...lol
We don't suffer too much here in Oklahoma.Yes,it gets cold (a lot of wind doesn't help,but not bad otherwise.we don't suffer like the northern guys do,but in the summer,we feel the heat.......bad.
nighty night sweet prince--put 70 miles on it sunday.
spit shine this am and back in the box.
Looking good Irv ;)
And yeah, this year flat out sucked weather wise. I'm hoping 2010 will be better. It can't be much worse.....
I'd like a repeat of 2007.
You my friend have lived up to the
resident jackass name you gave yourself...lmao...my cougar should be in it's new house sat or sun, and i finally got parts for the heater ordered...I'm too hoping for a mild winter, cold is one thing snow is another
That is one nice looking Cat!!!!!
i dont think we had to many good weekends all year
in nw ill. over 40 inches of rain. even my pinfeathers
are gowing feathers. we should have grown rice instead
of corn and soybeans.
I agree with the cold & rainy summer we've had, we are in for a rocky winter. With a tear in my eye, I put my cars up Saturday. I can't believe winter is on the horizon already!! It sucks...but at least we will have time to think of all the mods we can do in the spring, right?
The farmers in this area are having a horrible time getting the crops out. Many are starting to resort to putting tracks on their combines!
This year was not vert friendly at all.
I'll try again next year.
Mine's been put to bed for a week already. October was so bad I only drove the T-bird twice. The first week of November has been nice so far (60* and sunny). Actually it's supposed to be 50-60* and sunny all week :hick:
I havn't even gotten started yet on my soybeans. A lot of folks here have already done theirs, but we got off to a late start, so we're delayed now, too.
Heard it's supposed to snow in Buffalo on Thursday night. I can't wait..... (right)
I grow a small vegetable garden every year -- mainly tomatoes. I usually get about 6 or 7 dozen tomatoes from 4 plants......
3 tomatoes turned red for me this year.....2 were rotted on the vine before they even turned red.
Everything else suffered as well.
Irv that thing looks AWESOME :bowdown: ya sure that doesnt have a flux capacitor and they didn't accidentally set it to 2009? :rollin:
Let me see. When was the last measurable rain....That must have been February. Sprinkled in June due to a thunderstorm. Threatened rain three weeks ago but not.
We could be due for snow this year as it's been 5 years since the last snow.
Darn the good weather. Just about 350 sunny days per year. The biggest hazard to autos we have is the plastic rotting blasted sun! I did have to wash my car six months ago.:D
if i didnt know better i would think you were rubbing it in
to some of the rest of us. suppose you own a bike too.
its 34 degrees here as i type this am.--irv
am i the only one on this site that drives their Bird year round?
Doubtful.
Then again, you also live in a somewhat "warm" location that doesn't see the harsh winters and the corresponding car-eating compounds that get dumped on the roads in the winter months.
Drove the 84 XR-7 year-round. It's now a metal cube someplace. The Tbird would have met the same fate had I continued to drive it year-round.
If you lived up north, then driving year-round would be a feat.
My tomatoes sucked this year as well. The only ones that grew were the cherry tomatoes and I got bunches of them:D
Yeah try driving it year round in Chicago. The thing would be eaten by the salt in a few years. The 95 is slowly getting eaten by the salt but MN-12s come from the factory with rust ;)
I drive mine year round.....I just park it when the snowstormshiznit.
When snow stormshiznit Chicago they salt and salt and salt. The roads are white with salt from the first snow storm till some time in March when we get enough rain to wash it all away.
Do you have that problem by you Paul or do they show restraint with the use of salt? I wish they would here. They salt when we get an inch of snow.....
Yeah I wouldn't know how it is downstate all I know is here in the BOONIES of NY ('kay not really but in comparison ya know :hick:) it's just like what you're sayin Lou.
It's cool when the snow has melted and the pavement is dry. I can make rooster tails behind the car with the salt dust that is on the road :hick:
I drive the Mk 7 year round, but salt isn't too bad here. I just put in a new heater core and the stock wheels and all season tires are on for winter. :hick:
we dont get salt here so I drive year round. not like I really have a choice though.
I plan on pulling the vert out this winter.
Yeah its pretty funny when you see a tractor trailer coming towards you the other way with a white CLOUD behind it.
Yeah...hilarious. I can hear the car rust as I pass through it. Has me on the floor every time.:spit:
:p
Listen as the bottom of your car falls off:hick:
They're rather conservative with it.
New York -- Where your taxes are ever increasing yet the services are ever dwindling.
We got hit often last year, yet it always seemed to melt within 2 or 3 days so it really wasn't that big of a deal. We had one year 2004 where it was just a solid sheet of ice for about a month and a half. I let the car sit THAT year. I'll drive it, but I have 2 other vehicles that take the brunt of the winter duty -- A 4WD and a FWD.
I heard that sound before. I don't like it.
I was really complaining about the sun.:D Yes I do own a classic bike. 10 forward speeds. A 1980 model Suteki or some puppiesaneese name like that. Sold new at Sears in 1980 for $499. :burnout: It's a twin in color to the Cougar.
This morning however, it's pretty cool. Down to 40*. The high will only be 78*. Darn that sun. I drove my Cougar to work today. It'll be exposed to the elements.
it's sh*ting i mean snowing here right now, not sticking to anything, but still SUCKS
Atleast you now have Filtstone power :hick:
Around here the buzz all over the place was that the area would have a salt shortage due to the budget blah blah blah. What did the highway department do? Dumped the stuff out as much as ever LOL. We didn't run out, I suppose it was taken care of/was a non-issue in the end but it shows how NY'ers' money gets pissed away.
They like to salt here in Pa. too. I haven't driven my Bird in the winter for probably 16 years now. I started buying beaters so it could sit them out. But the couple of years I did drive it it really went well in the snow.
I agree with you guys about the summer, the weekends where mostly wet, at least one day was. I've been laid off since april so I got to enjoy the nice days we had during the week. Those nice days enabled me to cut grass and detail cars.
We did decent on tomatoes. Raspberries had a great year both crops.
Tomatoes were rotting more than usual, and didnt grow as high as usual. Still got more than we can use as always.
People are always going to complain about the weather of any season, overall this summer was a nice change of pace. I dont think I would like it every year, I like my heat and sun.
As for this Fall, TAKE IT BACK! I hate rain that last more than 2-3 days. This week has been nice, warm days, chilly nights, a little wind, my idea of Fall
daylight savings is g me off. I got home from work alittle earlier than usual and thought that I might have alittle time to do some work on the 5.0TC just about as soon as I got started the sun went down. :beatyoass: :mad:
