February 2021 in Central Texas. A very rare sight and an event I will never forget for so many reasons.

I am visualizing a heavy winter storm dumping copious amounts of snow while inside with a stack of firewood next to the woodstove. Poking a piece in every 1/2 hour or so stoking a small fire with a book or a radio near by. a cold heavy rain would also do. It cannot come soon enough.

There sure was plenty of snow to do it and I have no clue why I didn’t! I did take a “selfie” when it first started snowing as I thought is was great. Little did I know the carnage that would follow with power, water, fuel, and food outages. I didn’t have this smile on my face the next day…lol.

My cold visualization photos are too frozen to post.
Come see me in February and you can visualize in person. Bring your parka!

This technique does work... but it may take up to 6 months.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

This is several years ago. The world's best snow shovel.

Sorry for the thread drift, but can you tell me the make and model of this weather station?

Sure StorminNormin, it is an Acu-Rite, model #01533. I think we picked it up at Sam's Club.

I am sure by now they have a newer model, but we have been using this one for well over 5 years. The rain meter never did work, probably clogged with dust. The rest has worked well, only battery changes, and the occasional wind cup change due to hail damage.

Smoking Thanksgiving dinner a few years ago in Alaska. Had to shovel my way to the BGE.
