I lived in Fairbanks for 4 years, drove down the Alcan in December, and didn't even own chains.
Although, there was one trip through Siskiyou National Forest a few years ago that got a little hairy on the downhill. I'm sure my wife was wishing we had chains...

I bet she does, eh, eh? Bet she does! Say no MORE!

Some winter bbq

Living in New Mexico I've always considered winter the ideal BBQ season. No bugs, you can't burn down the state, and your beer doesn't get hot before you can drink it

I believe this is in South Carolina and back when we used maps I got here and promptly pulled off the highway to figure out where the hell I was going. It took awhile.

Or maybe Virginia. Sorta where you can head north to Roanoke, south to Charlotte, or west to Bristol.

I'm gonna say you're driving from Fort Chiswell to Wytheville, VA.

Brew on

Same is true when traveling 94 east/west thru Milwaukee (south of milwaukee thru Chicago). You're actually going north/south. You don't go east/west until you're south of Chicago or unitl you hit milwaukee.

You laugh, but a few years ago I drove up to Shaver Lake, on roads that look just like that, and CHP was stopping everyone - wouldn't let you go on without chains!

i thought it was funny because the chains were on the back tires? not that it wasn't that snowy? but jokes are never good explained, so i'll just go back to my life and leave it at that...

Apple smasher?

Apple smasher?

hey i just know that it's cool it's geared! way ahead of it's time! (and only $700! )

 

[El Whedo]

it's geared! way ahead of it's time!

I have a clock that I maintain and keep running built in 1733. It also is geared!

 

[day_trippr]

Ok, but does it smash apples?

 

[El Whedo]

It could, but my G’mas ghost would kick my butt.

 

[bracconiere]

Ok, but does it smash apples?

it does say it's a fruit grinder...

 

[day_trippr]

So a geared clock apple grinder? Why not!

best i ever could afford were cheap chinese geared ones, but they were cool!

 

[bracconiere]

when it comes to pressing apples, timing is everything! lol

 

[El Whedo]

The clock will help with...timing.

 

[bracconiere]

i have never seen a ballsier weather forcast!

 

[El Whedo]

Meh...

It’s not like it’s -38 F 100% chance of snow with sustained 40 to 50 mph winds and gusts of 90 mph.

Ok, a hundred percent chance of rain is unusual for AZ, but when SoCal is getting choked with rain and even some snow right now, 100% chance of rain and low 70s sounds like snowbird weather.

But I also understand the weather rarely changes in AZ, so it’s probably fun for ya.

Seen somewhere else:

The Brits call nasty winter weather the Beast from the East
The Germans call it the Russian Whip
The Yanks call it Snowmaggedon

The Finns call it Tuesday
