Coffee Club

[Sequel]

Our power stayed off for about an hour best I could calculate. No damage done as the power supply held up. That's twice it has had to run off of battery in 4 days. I don't remember it ever being off during a hatch before.

That's really smart of you to have some backup power!

Good morning coffee club. It's another chilly one here this morning. Ma has the coffee freshly brewed this morning made from whole beans that she ground herself.

We have two generators we use when we lose power.

Coffee Clubbers good morning one and all!

Tea is ready.

Temperature is in the 40s with expected strong winds.

Have a great day!

Morning all! Coffee is on and ready. Help yourselves.

We got around 10 inches of snow yesterday, another 4-7 coming in tomorrow followed by frigid temps. High on Sunday -2 and a low of -17.

The coop is warm but I'll run a heat lamp well secured in the main coop for the bantams and Fayoumis to huddle under so they keep warm during the day. I don't run it at night for safety concerns.

It's funny. Last week they were spouting La Nina winter on NOAA's sites, which they said means a warmer than usual, drier than usual outlook. Then on Monday they were talking about how these storms were typical for an El Nino winter weather pattern.

Sometimes I think the weather service is being ran by a mentally challenged AI because @pennyJo1960 is right. They are a bunch of weather guessers.

I would agree... except our local team is very good. They don't always get it right, but they have the latest technology and give good estimates of what is likely to happen.

I think they realize that people (us) want to know what we might have coming, and should prepare for. I don't expect them to nail it. When they say they "think" something is possible based on the data and their collective experience, I pay attention.

They also tell us things like, "The rain/snow line could shift a few miles north or south. This will have a big impact on how much snow is likely to fall in your area." I really appreciate knowing that kind of information.

Coffee is essential ...

Hey all the power was out up at 9.
PUD was on it. Most of Lewis County here had lost power.
Made instant liquid blackness.

We have one too. I think he's got a power pack that's easier to use for his incubator though.
