We've had record heat and lost about 3 feet of snow in 2 days with rain. Flooding is occurring around us big time. Chrissy had to go out with the county tech rescue all day yesterday.

All this in Feb, the "coldest month of the year" up here.

Can't like the post so I had to just "Agree". It doesn't sound good.

Yeah, honestly personally I am ready for summer, but summer ain't here and when we warm up this fast (60s yesterday) with this much snow, it gets really bad up here. The rivers are frozen and break up and ice jams and dams the rivers. That's the main cause of flooding. It happened on a smaller scale in January and a couple people died. No word yet on this one but we had plenty of warning so hopefully nobody gets hurt.

Back below freezing at the moment. The snow melt has frozen again and the roads are an ice rink.

Side story I have guests in camp from Germany right now. Last year they said they wanted to come see our deep winter landscape. I said come in Feb because it is usually the most wintery month.

They flew into Montreal and when they attempted to cross at the nearest border crossing, it was under water. They had to drive the long way around and had to turn back one more time from flooded roads.

So he gets in, looks at me and shakes his head. "What did you tell me, again?"

Apparently, two things are affecting the weather in NA - a heating of the stratosphere over the north pole and a typhoon in the southwest pacific. The former has caused cold air down while the latter is pushing warm air northeast. The result for us is a split diagonally across the continent - colder than normal in the north and west, warmer than normal south and east.

This means poor sloth has melting snow cap while we in the normally very moderate pac NW get this (my driveway)...

Even Phoenix, sitting on the cold side of the weather terminator, is at 44F as I write this.

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous, perhaps (and cheers for that). Pain in the keester for an area woefully underprepared for snow of any kind, most definitely. A plumber friend of mine says that even temps of 30F for a few hours through the night cause frozen pipes and well pumps on the island. Now rain, well, that's a different story - we could teach courses on how to manage it for safety and use in irrigation and so forth. Snow... not so much.

We had a bone chillin' 50 degrees today. The wife and I went out for lunch today, and here is how she dresses for 50 degrees. LOL! There is a heavy sweater underneath the jacket, and a scarf around her neck.

Too funny - she looks like she's off to a curling match in Saskatchewan (or North Dakota). I saw a number of Phoenicians out today in ski jackets and wool caps (touques... there, I said it... you can take the boy out of Canada, but... ). My niece, from Edmonton (think "Juno"), wore shorts and a tank top. Many shaking heads and "tsk, tsk"s ensued.

 

[oplholik]

Yeah, sometimes I can't believe it, I don't like cold, but I'm not that bad.

Hmmm, a better way to fill your squonker bottle?
Reloader - Squonk Refiller Cap

I won’t do these on a Reo. Most of my attys are set up to each Reo and the 510 adjusted. Don’t want to mess up my wick or airhole placement. I feel this would take more time for me lol.

 

[oplholik]

Yeah, after thinking more on it, I came to the same conclusion Vapefiend. I'd rather take my bottle out and fill it than remove my atty each time.

RTD has the lg hg2s back in stock. Gotta put some money in the bank, but I think I'm gonna stick with those. Does anyone know of any coupon codes for RTD right now? Will be about $45 for 6 batts.

Hey there Reonauts...poppin in to pat myself on the back...

I think I was probably about 1 year in when I picked up my Grand.
And since then, I've vaped a Reo every. single. day.

I have quite a collection of squonkers (like...30?) but what replaced my Grand as the road warrior that goes with me everywhere? A P67.

 

[misswish1]

Congrats, Train!!! 5 years is wonderful!

 

[JC Okie]

Congratulations on 5 years!

Awesome @Train2! Congratulations!! And what a tribute to Reos! Check this out @Eric Parlin.

Say, Train do you work for a railroad? Not being fresh, just came from a long line of “rails.” (Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Santa Fe). Even though I didn’t go that way career wise, it’s in my blood. The sound of a train whistle in the distance evokes sweet memories from my childhood.

Congratulations again!

Thanks!
And lol, no...the name isn't from railways, it's originally from "training".
