Mother Nature Strikes Again
« on: January 24, 2026, 08:28:06 AM »
I hope everyone is ready for this latest installment in Mother Nature's reminder that She is very firmly in control.  Although my little area will not be nearly as bad as my neighbors to the North, Duke, in particular, it is still going to be a far cry from what I usually experience.  The prediction for Livingston is for maybe a half inch of ice, rain for the better part of two days, and temps in the low twenties, with a wind chill as low as 5 to 15 degrees on Monday.   My hat is off to all you Members that live through this every year. I don't know how you do it. I was in the Nashville area in '87 to '89 and I got just a little taste of your regular winter weather. That was enough for me. Good Luck, stay dry, and stay warm.

I'm trying to keep one E-tank running 24-7 to keep it thawed but I think I may have lost the battle last night with temps around 1 degree. And gonna be worse tonight. I guess it's break time.

Good luck with that, Craig.  The rain started about 20 minutes ago, but the really fun part starts tomorrow when the bottom drops out of the thermometer and we hit the teens or even the single digits. Your 1 degree makes my temps almost balmy.
