Cold Morning

[Ed Miller]

I love this weather Melena!  Compared to my normal yucky rain anyway.  As of yesterday there was still ice and snow for a half mile from my house, but I bet most of it melted/sublimated off today.  I took the studded tires off my car, cleaned and regreased R65 front wheel bearings (new tire installed last week) and swing arm bearings, installed a new turn signal/headlight combination switch on my car, and went for a walk in the snow, not in that order.  It's beautiful.  And I have the next two days off!

According to the weather station that I have,  low temp for this morning was 22 F. (-6 C.) high for today 40 F. (+4 C.) coldest day I've experienced since I left Chicago almost 14 years ago, I moved to Phoenix to get away from this! Oh well, in 6 months, it will be 115 F. (46 C.).

Bob,
I'm in the valley here with you and when I looked at my highly accurate, hardware store, spring activated, kokopelli thermometer out on the patio I couldn't believe my eyes. 24deg at 8:30a. I thought for sure it was broken. Then I ventured out for the morning paper. Yikes! I have been in the valley for 11 years and can't remember it ever being this cold! Made me feel like I was up in Flagstaff. Good thing there is no moisture, can you imagine what a couple of inches of the white stuff would do to traffic here? Is Sky harbor even equipped to De-Ice planes?

Rich, it's up to the individual air carrier, to de-ice their aircraft, and at best my employer Southwest could de-ice about 40 aircraft ( heavy frost or light snow) before the glycol was depleted.

MrRiden,  we just got our 'big boxer' in July.  That was one of the draws...know all about them boxer engines!   [smiley=happy.gif]
