Intersection: Your TC and old man winter. Post up your pix.
With a comprehensive blast of cold air over much of the U.S. and Canada, with attendant frozen precip, I thought it would a good time to see how you are faring in the annual interface between your TC and old man winter. You guys in the southern hemisphere can wait 6 months to respond. Might as well show your snow fighting and snow motating machines too.
We had a foot of very dry snow fall overnight. The water content was 25:1 That's dry. We are used to Sierra Cement, a very high water content snow, 10 or 12:1, more like a snow cone than the dry stuff most others can get. Everything set up to dump a dry, cold snowfall. This is the first time I have ever seen snow drifts here on the west slope @ 4K feet.
The temps during the snowfall were hovering in the low 20'sF. Here is what jefe actually looks like on his way out to climb on the tractor: not to confused with seldom seen Smith!.
I pulled the tractor out which was hiding the TC snug its little domicile, 4 inches higher on 8 jacks than it sits on the truck. I can just back the truck under it and lower the jacks. As you see my TC is in two distinct parts at the moment: a T, and a C.
Mirror still folded in from the narrow shed, the beast sits under a tree:
