Darn that is some ice  The ice was 9" thick! The climate is defiantly changing for whatever reason. With the amount of CO2, if that is the cause, that is being pushed out of the over dozen active volcano's world wide and CO2 producing industry not stopping any time soon, we had better adjust to it because I don't thing we can stop it.   Just my 2 cents.[Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 26, 2011 9:46:02 PM] |

So I would say that there was ten beaufort on my home street. Did you get any video? It's fun to go to Lake Superior during a high wind event. The waves on that lake get pretty big, and it's fun to watch them crash on shore. You sure are bringing back memories from growing up in Duluth! And I remember some amazing sights in the early spring when the ice broke up and huge piles of chunks would form on the shores. Beautiful with the blue shadows they formed.  |

It is such a strange year. Because there has been so little snow, even with the warm weather, the ice on the lakes has been good. Nine to 12 inches (22 to 30 cm) of clear ice on some. 49 F(9.5C) today. Unreal warmth for this time of year.
----------------------------------------Envy of both of those, here was +9'F (+49'F) today, there is no ice on Finland except most northern lakes. Notice that this climate change (orwhatever) causes me out-of-planet experiment during Xmas. Who knows, maybe palm trees will grow in Helsinki  Cheers

I see the Warpedcow has added a convoy of I5's recently. What a nice boost they have given.

My oreganos has move to some high grow phase. Those under blue light (6400K) seems to spread like weeds... Well technically those are weeds so I think everything goes as planned, they really seems to like rockwool after all.
----------------------------------------Picture has been taken with 2800K ESL (with crappy Android). I think I will let them grow some flowers and then cut them down, then I have enough spice for one fish  Poi this is fun...   |

That is one healthy looking plant. Can you just keep letting it grow and periodically prune it for your spice needs ?

Cheers I think I want to see hold lifecycle ones, that was why I was planning to get some flowers. But there sure is lot to eat on the road now when those has start to split. This is something that seems to happen on blue light side, those two under red (2800K) light, seems to concentrate more to grow one big stem. Those leafs has some very strong taste on fresh, not like capsaicin (chili) sharp kind of, lot more peppermint kind of one where taste is large on its width/quantitative measures.. Chop couple of leaves with Atlantic mackerel (68% fat), taste did come through very very nicely with hold piece of fish (80g / 3oz). So actually kind of lasting spice as fresh. When I get some flowers I dry those and send to my friend on Sweden. Poi what a quality time they have when dog has mark those envelopes as suspicious on custom and especially after custom has used few thousand €uros to run some mass spectrometry tests. They will be tread like kings when picking those [Edit 3 times, last edit by ultimaThule at Dec 29, 2011 8:50:51 AM] |

Happy new year to all.
----------------------------------------I think the blustery day from Helsinki has migrated here. It actually feels like winter may have come. We finally had some snow (only 2 inches - 5cm) but the temperature is 22F(-5C) and the wind is blowing about 30 mph(50kph). The weather service said it was going to be worse, but I think they were wrong. I am looking forward to seeing Brinks bird pictures whenever he gets back. Cheers

No Owls seen. :(
Here are some pictures taken. http://photobucket.com/duluth-2011-12-30 All the birds here are northern or "Far" northern birds rarely seen in the south. I need to invest in better optics. I'm getting to fussy. This is the lens I really want. (2nd home loan) The lighting was not so great all week and it was windy so a lot of them did not turn out so well. But all-in-all it was a fun time had by all! |
