The New Workshop: New Roof, Snow, Rain, Sub-zero Temperatures
A snowflake is one of God's most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together!

Cold weather and snow delayed me in getting down the corrugate tin roofing on the new workshop. January 3rd proved to be a day of snow flurries and sunshine which at least allowed me to install the roofing. Then it snowed six inches.
The temperature fell to -5 degrees Fahrenheit and it kept snowing...
...until there was 22 inches of snow on the ground. And the temperature fell some more to register -14 degrees Fahrenheit on the thermometer.
Yesterday, the temps warmed up to 36 degrees Fahrenheit with the wind gusting up to 50 mph and we lost power for about two hours.
This morning we woke up to rain and warmer weather. I am very glad that I got the new workshop "dried in" before all this snow fell.
The high reached 40 degrees today with rain and snow flurries, there is a good six inches of slush underneath all the snow. No wind to speak of today, though some locales all the foothills had wind gusts up to 90mph, it was a very quiet day here.
The forecast doesn't call for sunny skies until Saturday, on that day we will drive nearly two hours out to Wiggins. Colorado to a butcher shop to pick up a quarter of beef that we bought from friends of ours who run Angus cattle near Sterling.
Maybe next week I can start putting up the siding on the new workshop.
I look forward to it.

It was a toasty 9°F in RI this morning. That is tough weather to be working in.
ReplyDeleteHey Wilson, thanks for the pictures. I know a lot of people dislike snow, and I understand why, but to me it's always beautiful! Here in London we see very little of it. Just wanted to say I always enjoy your blog posts, and I wish you a happy new year, and good luck with the rest of the workshop build.
