Winter in AZ

[220/221]

Still wearing shorts here. Sweatshirt in the mornings till about 9 or 10. Went out to the Suns game last night in shorts/short sleeves.


I love it here.........for a few months.

What do you guys do for a "White Christmas"?

I make a two hour drive to my cabin.

It rarely snows there as soon as December but a couple times a year I get about a foot or so.

Yea me too. I'm over snow. What you dont see in the second pic is the poor schlep shoveling the snow in his driveway only to have the town plows block him in again and again and again and the salt that ruins everything, and the annoying road spray you get when it all starts to melt, and freezzing your butt off when you start up your truck and .......etc, etc

Hey, stop knocking my summer months, heh. I take my long-jons off on July 4th and put 'em back on the 1st of August.

Still wearing shorts here...

I was wearing shorts yesterday while shoveling the driveway and sidewalk. It was only 25 degrees or so, but I wore my fleece jacket just in case the temperature dropped.

220/221, you are an insensitive lout. I'm shivering as I type and tomorrow morning when I am shoveling out the bank that the city plows will leave at the end of my driveway tonight, I will think about this pictue, and hate you!

That 40 circuit all-in-one looks ridiculous on that cabin. Kinda like the tiny duplex service you posted a while back. Is your middle name "Overkill?"

 

[220/221]

Is your middle name "Overkill?"

A) Supply and demand.

The 40 space 200 is all that anybody uses here anymore so, even if I could find one, the 200/40 price is less than a 100/20.

B) I have an acre and a half to build a real house so I'm planning ahead.

C) Yeah.....two of them, side by side on that duplex really looked bad.

That makes sense, but for aesthetics only I would go with the 100/20 if that's all I needed. But that's just me, and I install panels in basements without snap-in bushings, so I have far more flexibility.

Though only having to stock and use one kind of panel is very nice for many reasons.

I spent over 10 years in AZ... Tucson and Yuma. Family: direct and extended, all over Phoenix...

So your cabin is in Flagstaff? Up I17?

i worked one september in goodyear, az.

doing the control wiring for the oven's for snyder's of hanover, the pretzel
people.

there were no swamp coolers up and running in the production area
when it came time to test the ovens. a 4" high pressure gas line fed
those ovens. in production, they baked 8 tons of pretzels an HOUR.
it was hotter than the hinges of hades inside that pretzel factory.

where am i going with this?

it was cooler inside the building with those ovens than it was outside.

nothing disrespectful to any phonecians from feen-x, but they are
trying very hard to show you the nice part of their year. they need to
do that, because the part that isn't nice.... well, there are six months of
the year that if i wanted water colder than 90 degrees, i got it from the
fridge. water coming out of a pipe buried 4' deep in the ground was 90
degrees.

they have a collective delusion that "it's a dry heat", and they have
formed support groups to reassure each other of this fact... they
have to convince YOU, as well.... this way they can make it thru
next august.... please, smile and nod, express envy....
they need it..... bad. real bad.

august is coming again to the valley of the sun,
and everyone who can, flees to san diego.

Where I live, we have 4 distinct seasons of the year. I love them all, but most of all I love the fall the best.

But...I always look forward to the snow here in winter. Sometimes it is only a week or two of snow, sometimes maybe a month or two.
Believe it or not, I love to shovel snow...I know, it sounds crazy, but if I am shoveling snow, it usually means work is closed.

P.S. When it snows, it is very quiet outside.................

Snow!!!!

Snow!!!!

We are still waiting for our first "big snow" here in SW ohio. I am geared for it, so I really enjoy the big snow, make some extra money also. I dont have to actually "shovel" much of anything...A 8 foot two stage twin auger snowblower makes pretty quick work of anything less than a 5' deep drift. over 5' might usually take two passes.....Siting inside my john deere 4440 cab tractor is pretty nice.....Hafta admit, probobaly wouldnt be as nice if it all had to be done with a shovel.....
