Frosty Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 We get wind here too. A few years ago we were getting sustained winds in excess of 90mph and a few gusts near 130. Not right here, in the more open areas though we saw plenty of gusts in excess of 100mph and our sustained winds were in the high 70s to mid 80s. Lasted about 18 days straight. Lots of damage but code here calls for earthquake resistant and it's a known high wind area so there were only a few dozen buildings blown down, lots of roofs and such though. It warmed up a couple days ago and started snowing yesterday for about 4" so far. It's relatively warm and pretty out. I'll have to go out and light a fire after chores. Life is good.

LarryM Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Nice views Larry. Any fossils in them thar hills? Frosty To answer your question Frosty, Yes, The top of the flat top mountain is full of marine life fossils. They have also found many dinosaur bones in the area. I have been experimenting with my digital camera. This the first time posting pictures. I'm glad to hear you like the views. I a have large album on photobucket so if like I can post a hot link to it. Frosty, I used to live in Anchorage, and Wasilla. I worked as machinist, welder, school bus driver in Anchorage. So i know where you live. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pascalou Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Reassure you, Grant , the sheep are healthy, just, it must dress warmly. it does not freeze in Colorado? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 it does not freeze in Colorado? pascalou It does freeze in Colorado. However, I am not familiar with the term "wool is of rigor". I thought perhaps that rigormortis had overtaken the sheep and so go the sheep so go the wool. -grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Czar Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Pascalou, We call that hoar frost here. Nice pictures Larry I don't know I kind of like "wool of death" more obscure than "killing frost" what is the French phrase for "wool is of rigor"? Adj. 1. hoar - showing characteristics of age, especially having grey or white hair; "whose beard with age is hoar"-Coleridge; [Old English hār] Edited December 10, 2008 by Ice Czar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaming S Forge Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I can see the Appalacian Mountains from here. I'm about 5 miles away from them. Local people here call them the Blue Mountain. For some reason, at a distance, they have a blue color to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
