What if it Snows?

Ground temperatures much slower to change than air temperature, have had it both ways. Today ground was warm enough to melt snow when it landed. Have had February warm air blow in with rain, that freezes on contact with profoundly frozen ground.

 

I'd like to ride one of those just once , to say I did.

 

911s can be real fast. 30 years ago 12+ second 1/4 miles. Good knows what they can do now.

 

Would have been in 97 or 98. Just about 30 years ago. I was driving a 84 Camaro rs at that time. It was a total turd, but could corner well, could also rust and break down really well too

 

Is that tge 5.3 twin turbo engine ? I think it is. That's what they should have put in the mid engine corvette when it came out instead of a truck engine

 

Was twenty four (24) this morning when I rolled out. Gonna be seventy five (75) Saturday

 

It is now contract season! The snow contracts are monthly for the next five months. No snow, no work but pay every week regardless. Got my list of 68 addresses, same ones as last year.
Just have to keep everything ready to go when it’s needed and I’m covered

 

GFYM that’s how I would sign that

 

Think of it more like a lake freezing over. There is typically just a layer of ice over some liquid. Ice too thin you walk out on it and fall through. Gets thick enough you can drag an out house out there over a hole cut in the ice and go fishing.

Dirt is the same way. Can check out the local frost depth, which is used as reference for how deep to bury water lines to have them not freeze in the winter, or how low to dig for foundations to keep them from moving around from ground freeze... aka frost heave. Around here that is 18 inches. So we set everything 2 feet down.

I'm going to exploit that another way. Bury a water tank 2 foot under the ground. then recirculate the water up to radiators in the upper crawl space to act as passive cooling/A.C. ground temperature (below 2 foot here) is pretty stable year round at about 60 degrees.

Up north in Canada, some of the grow houses do the same thing just a bit deeper (6 foot down or so?) to moderate the temperature. In winter the recirculating water keeps the green houses from freezing, in the summer it knocks the edge off the heat.
