Our Turn - Ice Storm definitely NOT good

Anyone out there in this ???, I'm in the Albany, NY area and this is unreal, almost as bad as Malone, NY in '98, lived through that one too.

Miller NT 251 providing 8500 watts of back up power, already lost 50 lbs of this years venison, wood stove is cranked in the basement, 80 degrees there, house stabilized at 60 F so far.

Well, I'm holding my own here, but have some real desparate electrical questions to ask if anyone sees this, will post both here and too talk, power lines have been snapping under trees for 24 hours so far, storm has passed, if the wind kicks up, trees are all at there limits now, not even a clue as to when main line power will be up.

Best get to that electrical question, who knows how long this dial up connection will last before it fades or is cut off.... yikes .... lots -O- Fun here !!!!!!!! LOL !!!
 
I'm right at the southern fringe of the damage, our power is back on now but folks 5 miles NW of here may be waiting several days.

We were at the epicenter of the Oct 4. 1987 snowstorm and this is as bad as that for some to my North and West.

Channel 6 said the raw number of customers without power increased in spite of 600 line crews working diligently throughout the day. Lows in the teens tonight won't help anything.
 
Live on a mtn in PA. We have a pretty good build up of ice. Trees down, Wires down and icy roads.
A half a mile from me there is no ice at all. It was an elevation storm as far as the ice goes

I was wondering the same thing. Then I figured his fingers were too cold to pull the trigger......
 
Not good, had one hanging for 2 days, cut it up yesterday, put in the fridge, then usually do any final trimming, then to the freezer, the last 2 steps never happened, been at it since 5:00 a.m., only thing I could have done was put it outside, same temp as the fridge stays, but with the wood stove in there, and all this going on.... never got done... hate being distracted, cutting fallen trees etc., always forget to do or consider priotities, nice slap to the face to lose food like this, deer have been eating in the oat fields for months, the meat was fantastic, now has a bit of an oder, still red, but who knows what the deal is and how long 50-55 deg would take to sour it, plus some of it needed trimming of that silver tissue etc.
 
Nope, got that part done, one of them this year was a nice 250 yard shot too, from a stable rest, went about 50 yards and dropped, nailed both lungs, rifle season, Sprinfield M1A with Federal Classic 150 grain lead tip, minimal damage to the shoulder it exited, good combo for this rifle, perfect for 300 yds.
 
Our ohio winters are really tame around here. I miss New York, i've lived near you in West Seneca and in Warsaw. It was great up there. Here in ohio we just have alot of mud followed by some snow later on, but it doesnt compare to a New York winter. As much as i miss it, i like not having to deal with it :)

Right now were to the ground freezing stage. Theres just been alot of mud, like purple truck sticking mud

They never worried about that in the old days before refrigeration. They hung meat until it "changed colour" and though it normal.
 
Nice area out that way, I almost ended up on the NYS 5 points correctional facility job in at the Seneca Falls Army Depot in '99, we did the first one in Malone, NY, but the state chose a competitor for that one, even though the first one, (they are almost identical) was very successful for us, completed 1 month ahead of schedule and within the state budget.

Yeah winters here can be tough, though for a lot of recent years some have been real mild, sure does vary quite a bit though.


I'm actually abot 10 miles north and a bit east of Albany, just outside of Troy, in a town that was all farms at one time, rolling hills, pretty good soils and fields, been 3 years since I've been out your way. Seems to be a lot of older ford tractors and implements in Ohio, always see things in the ads out your way trying to lure me into a trip.

That purple truck sticking mud must mean you got that thing running, and boy do I hate the mud season when the frost is deep and the surface is slick with muck until the frost breaks up, we still get that mess a few times a year.
 
Forgot about that, wonder what that was all about, the site was contaminated, and took longer to build the same buildings on that site from what I heard from the competitor. Figures, constructioneer magazine made a full feature of that job, but not the identical previous one we did, nice to get that publicity on your resume.

Not sure if they mentioned the piebald or albino deer, we have a piebald here for 2 years now, she has been pardoned.
 
yeah, and that does tenderize it, I'll check it out, won't take long to to grill up a piece and see what it tastes like, just has more of an odor, darned thing had to hang an extra day in 50 deg temps after being frozen solid, dumb luck on my part, usually cut em up right after the kill.
