weatherwiz Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Going outside in like an hour to stain some garage siding. Kind of sucks losing so much daylight now...doesn't leave much time after the work day to do much outside. Not a huge job to do but want to get done while the weather is nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 2 hours ago, dryslot said: Fishing bottom for lakers when the boats encountering white caps is quite a bit challenging to say the least, I'm usually on these bigger lakes so it gets pretty rough with winds either side of north. When we go to Lake Ontario they don't go out if the winds are 20mph, boats are in the 20 foot range. Went up there last year for two days of fishing and couldn't go out either day, came home empty handed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, That would be quite rough with white caps, I'll go if its 5-10mph, Not ideal, But its good for Salmom fishing, I like it below 5 mph or calm the best.

dendrite Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I loathe how long the cold and dark days drag on for. Warm season feels like a blink. I’d love a torch Novie, a fun 2 months after Thanksgiving, and then back to a Greta finish, but we all know it will be 5 straight months of the same meh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One metal plate in wrist which I was hoping wasn't needed. The 2 broken ribs are more annoying then hand. 69/50. Awesome feel out there When I've had rib injuries (limited to torn cartilage, I think - never went to the Dr.), I knew that every breath would hurt for 4-6 weeks, though the first 2 were the worst. Eight years ago I slipped while dragging my ice fishing stuff (and a nice bass) and landed ribs first on the empty bait bucket, which fared much better than I did - I then weighed 40+ pounds more than at present. Four days later I day-tripped to Sturbridge to make a forestry presentation to the New England SAF chapter, about 450 miles round trip, in a cramped low-slung Ford Fusion - at least the presentation was fun. Five days later we began our Japan trip by flying to HI where my BIL and family live, 13 hours in economy, 10 of it from CHI to Oahu. (Our first Trip of a Lifetime. 2nd was Norway the following year, without rib pain.) Today was almost totally cloudless. September is our sunniest month, currently (thru 2023) with 52.5% of the potential sunshine. August is next at 49.6", July 3rd at 48.0%. December is lowest, at 39.0%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metagraphica Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Hit 72 today. Now 71/46 should get a bit chillier tonight than last. 42-43 maybe. Don't mind the cooler air, but the clearly shortening days suck balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats where I end up. I love snow and skiing and the mountain culture in winter. I hate the darkness. If I could get like April solar all winter long, I’d be in heaven. Even if it’s dreary out in April, it feels different. I’m always jealous of like Colorado or Utah mountain zones that have the latitude of like Washington D.C. for sun angle, while also seeing plenty of sun if it’s not snowing. Snow or sun is a great winter climo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be nasty in the shoulder seasons when frozen is not in play, but it's probably given me more snow here than I've lost due to downsloping, and it's great for pack retention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
