| Feb. 1, 2011 lemons Men's 65 323 posts | Daydreaming Just sitting here in Indy with icy roads and cold weather. All the schools are closed and we have another ice/snow storm coming this evening. Thinking wistfully about better weather so we can get back to playing ball and having a cold one with friends. HURRY UP SPRING! |
| Feb. 1, 2011 garyheifner 649 posts | I live in the SW suburbs of Chicago and on a lake. I was just sitting at my computer and looking out at my bird feeders. Nice day. 30 seconds later full blizzard. Can hardly see them now. |
| Feb. 1, 2011 birdie Men's 70 802 posts | Hurry up spring. Hell let us just go to summer. It can never be to hot. Thanks Harry |
| Feb. 1, 2011 tg69 393 posts | lemons.we had the ice storm 2 years ago and were without power for 13 days.so my advise is to get you a generater and plenty off fuel before it hits.SERIOUS |
| Feb. 1, 2011 DoubleL10 Men's 70 907 posts | Here in OKC we've got about 8 inches of snow on the ground and the wind chill is about 20 below. We've got some serious wind and some pretty good drifts. Just last Thursday, it was around 70 and we were out hitting in the afternoon. Can't wait for Spring! |
| Feb. 1, 2011 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Wore shorts to work today. Actually had the a/c on in the afternoon in my car. (Phoenix) |
| Feb. 1, 2011 leroy28 Men's 50 23 posts | tg69 I've never been in weather like that. When you were without power for that long how did you stay warm and how do you keep your water pipes from freezing |
| Feb. 1, 2011 garyheifner 649 posts | Don't know what tg69 did, but the secret is to open every faucet in the house to a decent drip and leave the water running. Water bill might be a little high that month but you won't have a flood. Big $$$$$$$ |
| Feb. 2, 2011 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | We have no temperature here in albuquerque-zero-and colder tonight-6-10 below which is very unusual for us plus 7 inches of snow and 25-30 mph winds for a wind chill of 23 below. It happens about every 20 years here. Think I will pull out my new Reebok Melee and see how many cuts I get before it chrystallizes. Groundhog probably won't even stick his head out this morning!! |
| Feb. 2, 2011 lemons Men's 65 323 posts | Dbax, Now you're just showin' off. We got more sleet and ice last night and when I was picking up the paper in my driveway, I slid all the way to the end. Thank goodness that, in spite of other injuries, I still have a sense of balance........at least physically. :>) |
| Feb. 2, 2011 tg69 393 posts | Leroy,fortunatly the temp.stayed in the upper 20s but we have a wood stove in our basement just for emergencies like that.Had a generater and kept the frig.running and would plug up the deep freezes a couple times a day.We even cooked on the wood stove.Sorta like being on a camping trip at home.Some folks were out of power for 20 days so i guess we were lucky. |
| Feb. 2, 2011 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | Dbax-I'm old and probably asked this before-who do you play for? |

| Feb. 2, 2011 surf88 Men's 65 1000 posts | Has been very cold here in Colorado. I plowed snow in my tractor yesterday and will snowmobile in to our cabin tomorrow to check on water pipes. Dropping to 20 below tonight but will get up to mid 30's tomorrow. Maybe some good skiing after this snow we got. Hope all you guys in that warm weather enjoy while you got it. |
| Feb. 2, 2011 leroy28 Men's 50 23 posts | tg69 I hope ya'll don't have anymore weather like that but it doesn't look very good for most of the u.s. surf88 Your high tomorrow is gonna be mid 30's. If our low is the mid 30's we just go ahead and shut all of south ga down. LOL |
| Feb. 2, 2011 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Webbie25, I'm with the Tucson Bandits, and we will be there. I think I jinxed it. It was freezing cold here today. 45 for the high. I did not get out of my car! |
| Feb. 2, 2011 armiho211 Men's 70 449 posts | DALLAS,TX WEATHER REPORT- got to 13 deg last night, all day today ( wed ), about 22 deg. thank god i am retired. ice all over the roads, i made an attempt to drive out of my driveway, saw the ice on the street and chickened out. stuck the car back in the garage, and drove my DIXON 50" CUT lawn mower to the corner store for the newspaper and goodies for the grand - kids. only problem i had was freezing my face off . unfortunately, we get a replay tonite and all day tomorrow. looking forward to the TOC next week, hope the weather stays in the 60-70's out there. frank a dallas spurs 60's |
| Feb. 3, 2011 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | Albuquerque-6 below right now and a wind chill of 20 below. I guess we will call off practice for the TOC today. Dbax-was wondering if we had played you-think we did a couple years ago in Tucson. Didn't you double dip us in a tournament there? |
| Feb. 3, 2011 lemons Men's 65 323 posts | The sun is out in Indy! Still about 10 degrees and 3 inches of ice on my driveway...........no salt available anywhere. Good luck to all playing in The TOC and I hope the weather is good. |
| Feb. 3, 2011 AZSAGE 6 posts | I don't think Dbax will be wearing his shorts to work today. My running fountain froze over last night. The PGA golf tournament pro am was cancelled yesterday due to frozen course. Our softball games for today were cancelled - frozen fields. Yes this is all in Phoenix |
| Feb. 3, 2011 birdie Men's 70 802 posts | AZSAGE, That is just another day up north welcome to our world. Thanks Harry |
| Feb. 3, 2011 400 Men's 50 90 posts | Webbie25 yes Dbax was confused but with the temperatures now 19 degrees (yes I did say 19) with a wind chill of 7 you can be sure that he's HUGGING the heater of his car! AZSAGE thingsare freezing and popping everywhere. Temps might be like this in the North but they have not been seen here in a couple of lifetimes!!! Dbax better put those sweats on. |
| Feb. 3, 2011 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | 19 in Phoenix? WOW!! Angel Fire in northern NM was -40 air temp this morning--WOW--Coldest I have seen since I moved out from the midwest 33 yrs ago |
| Feb. 3, 2011 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | 400, this board is for active players only! See you next week. |
| Feb. 3, 2011 armiho211 Men's 70 449 posts | ACCORDING TO BIG "AL"- these record LOW temps are due to GLOBAL WARMING. somehow i just cant seem to figure how he arrived at this. maybe it way over my head, and for sure why i am not a million/billionaire. |
| Feb. 4, 2011 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | We have actually had a natural gas crisis-shortage-in NM over this. 34,000 homes were cut off because of low pressure in the gas lines. Almost every reporting station in the whole state was below zero Wed. night and a place just outside Angel Fire in the northern mountains hit -46 air temp and over -50 wind chill. Even Moriarty-about 40 miles from Albuquerque, but on the East side of the Mountains here hit -34. This hasn't happened here but twice in 50 years (1990 and 1971).Florida here we come!! |
| Feb. 4, 2011 JBTexas Men's 70 434 posts | 1/2 inch snow and 1/2 inch ice and 22 degrees in San Antonio, all major highways closed. think we'll skip batting practice today, last friday high was 81, welcome to texas winters. Haven't reached 32 degrees in three days, warmer in Alaska then Texas. Have a safe trip Mad Dog. |
| Feb. 4, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | we had 2-3" of snow up here(tyler area),makes for a nice winter post card,but that is it....uugghhhh thanks JBT leaving monday morn to go over,we are supposed to clear by tomorrow and be clear for the next week.... |
| Feb. 5, 2011 lemons Men's 65 323 posts | Just the thing. More snow on top of the ice today. As the popular prayer says, "God give me patience, and give it to me now!" Spring will be here eventually. |
| Feb. 5, 2011 Corky Men's 55 451 posts | Well Mel...remember when we would play in the Q95 (local radio) snowball softball tournaments. Played in snowmobile suits and boots. Good Large pockets for a little anti freeze. Hit the ball in the snow and let the fielders try to find it, while ya waddled to base like an eskimo......those were the days....glad I got over that. |
| Feb. 5, 2011 Uncle Mike Men's 60 122 posts | I can't help but feel sorry for all of you guys that are snowed in. Here in SoCal it's been 70 -75 for a couple weeks, with a low 60- high 50 day here & there. Before that it was 80 for a week. Been a mild winter so far. No major earthquakes in my area in over 1200 days either. Flying out tommorrow morning for the TOC. Staying @ Disneyworld for a few days before the TOC. |
| Feb. 6, 2011 lemons Men's 65 323 posts | Thanks Uncle Mike. More snow later today and then frigid temperatures. Have a safe trip and enjoy The TOC. Mel |
