wtnhighlander Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Dave, we get a similar effect in Tennessee, when falling rain freezes on surfaces (happens far more often than snow, here). Typically builds up on trees, overpasses, and power lines. Followed shortly thereafter by darkness and cold... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I had a snow emergency day today, due to that, followed by freezing rain, followed by wet heavy snow. Lots of localized power outages due to falling limbs, including some school buildings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 I fetched the morning paper this morning barefooted with a temp of 39* but it didn’t take me long to get back inside! I remember about 10 years ago in SD, pheasant hunting, there was snow on the parking lot at the mom and pop motel and I walked from my room to the office to get a cup of coffee bare footed. My fellow comrades thought I had too much to drink from the night before and were reluctant to hunt beside me. It’s from my waist up that cold goes straight thru me.

Chestnut Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 39 is nice and warm. I usually played hockey in a T-shirt down to 0F after that i usually needed a sweater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 usually 5-10 days. I haven't ordered since the pandemic so I'm not sure how that's been impacted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 3 hours ago, Mark J said: I wonder how much longer the Domino patent will be in force? ~ 2007 was their first introduction. Patents in the US expire in 20 years but who knows if parents from other countries are longer or different. There are other methods they can take to extend that time frame as well eg sawstop. They can make incremental changes or tweaks and patent that to cover the same product for a longer time. I don't really find it to be a fruitful conversation. Biscuit joiners that copied the original, had a lot looser tolerances and didn't work nearly as well. To get a biscuit jointer that works as well as the original it cost near what a domino does. If a company copies the domino and it's cheaper it's likely not going to be as accurate or work as well EG triton doweling joiner. There are good alternatives to the domino on the market right now the catch is they are just as expensive or more. https://www.timberwolftools.com/mafell-dd40p-duo-dowel-system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, they have things like the self-driving track saw: https://produkte.mafell.de/en/sawing/portable-panel-saw-system/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
