No thanks. You can keep all that snow and ice. Brrrrrrrrr! Ray This happen not very far from where I live. I remember this on our local news. can't remember how long ago this was now.. within the last 3-5 years.. not recent for this one.. but happens every year I think.. not usually this bad though.. this was a bad one.. Most times these happen on the highway rather than the side roads.. typically inexperienced drivers or those in a hurry and going too fast for the conditions at hand.. Many times we get what they call white out conditions.. which is either snowing really hard in select areas ( typically lake effect snow ) or from wind that blows the loose snow around.. In these cases.. once one stops / slows down they don't see the cars in front of them until it's too late to stop on the slick roads..

We see it all the time here. The roads get a slick film of oil on them and then the first rain, they are like deer guts on a door knob. And the darned fools don't know enough to SLOW down. The bad part is, they usually kill some innocent person who was driving correctly. And they walk away without a scratch. No justice.

BSelff Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I have to agree on a cold shop, I have a 40 x 40 clear span shop, 14ft walls (I needed to be able to drive my tractor in). I am not in agreement with anything that has flames (I.E. kerosene or propane " flame throwers", I have one but don't use it. I have an issue of an explosion or fire when I do any spray painting, wood staining / sealing / etc. , even a wood burning stove bothers me. Currently, I have no heat or air in the shop, it is well insulated r19 walls, r30 ceiling and insulated sectional doors (one at each end of the shop) but it still gets cold in there. I have tossed around the idea of ceiling radiant heat ( I have the power for them) but not sure I have the clearance between the ceiling and the sectional doors. I have to say, this was an interesting topic. Bob OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
