Well, here we go!

[JeffL]

Its 730 and still -18, and unfortunately the trucks actually started so out we go! :-(

 

[theXman]

wow.

when things are that cold, so many things don't work right, i don't know how you guys make it worth it to go out. rakes break, things get stuck to the ground and metal, equipment doesn't start, things gel up, throttle cables freeze up.

do you keep trucks and equipment in a garage?

10 degrees here this morning at this time. That's cold for here in MD. We will be going out shortly too.

I hope it is a productive day. should warm to 28-30.

 

[marlinspiker]

One degree in pa. Chipper still hasn't started

 

[JeffL]

Its a day to go out and pay the bills I suppose. I was kind of hoping my car wouldn't start honestly, lol. We keep fuel conditioner in everything and have block heaters plugged in on all the diesels. Going out to do roof clearance at a student housing complex for one of the local colleges, that we've been working on for the past week or so. Well get through it! Plus we'll probably lose a day to snow mid week here so just trying to get our hours in.

Boo. Wind chills could head into the -30's once the wind picks up this am.

-6 here this morning both the trucks and the chippers are jelled up, at least were don't have to go out right away.

 

[robinia]

Windchill -30 here.
This is when I'm glad to have indoor work!

Keep warm Jeff!

Looks like a good week for working here, high of 30F today.
Gotta make up for last week!

 

[RopeShield]

Stayed in today. Short week try another day.
For the last three years i ahve been using Bag Balm. for bunches, caked bags, cuts, sore teats, chapping and inflammation.
I find my hands are warmer with no cracks and splits.
Proof is my latest vids no gloves handling cold ali.
Try it to believe it.
Main ingedients 8-hydroxyquinoline sulphate, petrolatum and lanoline.
So Vicks Vapo rub would probabley work much the same.

-5f today this morning and it felt alright to be honest. Wind was light and the sun was out. We climbed in the woods and actually started to sweat close to lunch time. It climbed into the 20s later. Not bad at all compared to some places today. Stay warm gang. Boston beware Wed!

 

[JeffL]

Yeah it made it to +3 by lunch!

It honestly didn't feel that bad, the sunshine was a lifesaver. I said today though we need days like today, next days out above the teens it'll be tshirt weather and comfy, can't wait!

See ya in Boston there Mark, looking forward to it!

 

[Mark Chisholm]

[JeffL]
