Since It's Winter time for a lot of us...

[whirlcool]

Considering it's only 12F (-11C) here in MSP, does anyone remember this one? I remember it was played on WGN-TV in Chicago when I was a little kid during the winter. I have heard it also played in other parts of the country.

***click*** shifts into 4 wheel drive

That video couldn't be more fabulous Allen! I love it, I'll have to save that one. It screems 1950's winter, I love that!

YAY, its getting really exciting around here today, we're under our first winter storm watch of the season, just in the nick of time as December 1st is the first day of the official "metrological winter" which runs Dec 1- Feb 28. There's not a cloud in the sky today, but I hope its the calm before the storm. I'll have to go out today and get gas for my favorite outside toy, my snowblower. I love storms and Snow storms are so much fun and all 4 computer models are in agreement this time so maybe we will get the expected 6" to 10" in the metro area! I've been disappointed before, but I refuse to get no snow jaded lol!

***keeps fingers crossed*** for snow and wind to start tomorrow afternoon.

Ask the Snow Miser

To blow some snow towards Crossville. We need some love too.

 

[toggleswitch]

Frosty the snowman..had on a HUGE smile

If one wants to be perfectly PC it's a snowthrower!

 

[jons1077]

Robert will have to fire up the Lady Kenmore dryer with the warming vent in place on those cool laundry-day mornings.

I'll do my best for ya Jason!

Feh with being PC when it comes to snow Toggs, I wanna blow it!

Robert will have to fire up the Lady Kenmore dryer with the warming vent in place on those cool laundry-day mornings.
Funny you should say that Jon, since I'm home from work today I was just doing that lol...

 

[toggleswitch]

Frontage over here, and more frontage over there.......

What??? No loop of hot water heat for the basement through classic radiators? (or baseboard to save space and be unobtrusive dealer's choice.)

If you can solder copper pipe/tubing, I can wire the circulator and the thermostat. But then again, so can you!

Hey hey hey!
I'v got a corner property and I am up to here (points to nipples) with throwing it and blowing it! Honest to g-d the next place I live in will have a snow removal service or no sidewalks!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat you wouldn't want me to break a nail, would you?

 

[toggleswitch]

Blowing and sucking.

Now wait just one minute! Serious question.

Wouldn't opening that lint filter access flap suck room air out? Isn't the fan behind the filter sucking out in most machines including WP & Kenmiore?

 

[toggleswitch]

That woeuld be a might good *little* heater!

Is this the dryer that is 220v 50a 8,000+/- watts?

The rule-of-thumb is 10 watts of electric heating in this country per sqaure foot of space or 1 watt per cubic foot if you have tall or irregular (i.e. vaulted or cathedral) ceilings

800 square feet is 5+/- average bedrooms (@ 160+/- sq. ft per room) or a 28 x 28 foot room! [figure 8.5 x 8.5 meters]

 

[DADoES]

Outdoor temp today is 72°F.

 

[hoover1060]

another WGN-TV clasic

I loved this one!

 

[Unimatic1140]

What??? No loop of hot water heat for the basement through classic radiators?
Nope, the basement isn't heated so in the winter it can go down to 60F down there, which is fine because it makes for some very fast Filtrator drying.

Wouldn't opening that lint filter access flap suck room air out? Isn't the fan behind the filter sucking out in most machines including WP & Kenmore?
Not in the earlier machines with the smaller lint filters, the air blows out of the filter port if the filter is not inserted into the slot.

Is this the dryer that is 220v 50a 8,000+/- watts
8900 To be exact.

Oh I just checked again, we've just been upgraded from a Winter Storm Watch to a Winter Storm Warning, love that, the excitement (and expectation) builds! I better get my plastic kerchief ready for the estate sales tomorrow since its suppose to be quite windy and blizzard-ee. I find snowy days bring me luck at the estate sales so could tomorrow be the day of the Apex Bouncing Basket? OK I'm asking way too much now lol!

 

[dalangdon]

They're saying we might have some snow here tonight as well!!! Of course, they are also saying that there will be rain on Sunday to melt it all away....

 

[polkanut]

Why did the snowman pull down his pants??? He heard the snowblower was coming!!!

 

[Unimatic1140]

Yay the snow is coming down hard and fast and my estate sale snow luck worked!!!! I always say when it snows hard on Saturdays it always brings me good luck at the sales, I'll post this on Vacuumland later on tonight...

 

[jamman_98]

It's winter here too just....

First Winter Storm Of The Year Update: It's just past 12:30 p.m. and we have 5" of snow on the ground in rural southwestern Minnesota. It's been blowing, too. I know this because my neighbor's minivan is stuck in a stealth snowdrift in the middle of the street. It all looks like a big white blanket from my 2nd floor living room window, but down on the ground it's a snow jungle, kids.

In the meantime, bread is baking, We Are Scientists are on the iPod and the Frigidaire TL'er is churning away with a mega-load of kitchen whites.

Life is good.

 

[tlee618]

YAY YAY!!!!!Robert!! What a fantastic fine!! I am so very happy for you and it looks to be in perfect condition as well!! The Apex has to be just around the corner for you!!!!! Terry

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Yay! Turquoise!

Robert!

That's a fabulous find, indeed!
They must have known you were coming... and saved the turquoise pièce de résistance just for you!
Looks dreamy in your kitchen; with all of the other turquoise!

Congratulations!

((Hahaha... it starts! I knew you'd been bitten by the vacuum bug in Omaha))

[vinvac]

It is snowing here as well and we have been upgraded to a "WINTER STORM WARNING" as well. I have to laugh, because we have not a had a real winter in probably 10 years here. We used to have snow on the ground from November until at least March...I mowed grass last week... It would be below zero starting in December and lasting until Feb....it is around 20 degree's here today... so nothing will stay long and the salt will quickly take care of most of the roadways...the year I turned 14 it never got above -25 the entire month of January.

Robert, I love that vacuum but that Pink Lady Kenmore has me.....drooling and it is not a pretty site. I want I want I want......................

Fred, you are 100% correct, Robert has been bitten... let's just sit back and see when the new addition is added to the house for vacuum storage and display....anyone want to give a time frame here...LOL

I just thought of a better place that palm tree shold be planted LOL

 

[alexb1186]

Freezing rain here

I wake up to pitter patter on my window and it's raining. However, since the ground is warm, it's not ice. Unlike Robert, I had no luck today, except for a freebie 1120 DAM for parts at the Jefferson City Sally Army and begging at the MO Blvd antique store for their store use brown hood U3103 Concept that got me nowhere.

That is a nice GE. I may have to do a Kansas City sweep next weekend, clipboard and Ernst & Young travel mug in tow

 

[toggleswitch]

Sure Glenn rub it in!

~I just thought of a better place that palm tree should be planted LOL.

And ya didn't mean in your yard now didja?

*LOL*

 

[polkanut]

We received about 5" of snow from yesterday around 11am to roughly midnight. Then during the night a layer of sleet, so now everything has a nice glaze on it outside.

 

[~sudsshane]

Orlando's weather forecast

miserable!

 

[Unimatic1140]

I'm in total winter heaven

So this mornings tasks, sunbeam coffee, six loads of wash (Pulsamatic, 2 Unimatics, Speed Queen, Norge, Kelvinator), making buttermilk pancakes from scratch and then the best part was blowing the snow. Actually I only blew about 1/2 of it and I manually shoveled the rest because its such great exercise I love that pumped feeling after snow shoveling, no gym needed today.

Fresh shot from my office window a minutes ago...

 

[DADoES]

Outdoor temp today, 77°F.

 

[58limited]

Its supposed to hit 80 here, I've got the A/C on now. It sucks putting up Christmas lights while sweating, the humidity outside is 72%.

But, change is is the forecast: we'll have blustery days of 65 with unbearably cold nights in the 40's starting Monday.

 

[dalangdon]

Dreary, dreary, dreary

Our snow is rapidly melting, and we are into the slush down here at sea level. You can't see them in this picture, but the Cascade mountains in the distance have a very nice coating on them now, so that's something.

As usual in the wintertime, Mount Rainier is hiding from us. A very shy volcano (Let's hope it stays that way ;-)
