Re: Minnesota Crunchers

Did you see? Local company Toro had to send it's snowblower testing team to Michigan because we don't have snow.


Yeah, I saw that. The upper peninsula always has that lake effect snow. Even the cold weather labs in International Falls are taking a beating this year. Maybe March will bring the snows, that is usually the snowiest month. I would like to see the moisture, but not necessarily as snow.

So far I am not wearing out my snowblower and my heat bill is maybe not smiling, but at least grinning.

Cheers

Wow, that's pretty pathetic. Sending the team to Iowa certainly wouldn't have done them any good.

So far the whole winter is pathetic, cheaper and easier on equipment, yes, but just not normal.

I'm actually enjoying this winter. They should all be like this. praying
Just as long as we get some good wet (rain) months in the spring.
Did I say I'm sick of snow and could live my life without ever seeing it again?
Come on...global warming! tongue

Come on Brink, this is Minnesota, land of snow and freezing temps. laughing
This weird weather has the making of drought. We would need allot of spring rain to compensate for the loss of melting snow. Would rather have 10 feet of snow than -10 degrees temp any day. Hopefully we will get a good snow fall before winter passes on.

March. It all hinges on March. And on the usual storm for the state basketball tournament.

Re: Minnesota Crunchers

The way our weather is going, march might be a bust. Wouldn't surprise me if it snows in July. Ha ha

BTW, my ubuntu box is down. Already posted in the boinc help forum. This is weird trying to install boinc.

Re: Minnesota Crunchers

Back up running. Forgot to edit cc_config file for i686. Couldn't get the 32 bit libraries to install. Something about broken packages. Guess will see if errors start popping up.
