skeeter Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 'Bout an inch or less. Some melted yesterday then it started again later in the day..very lightly. Blowing at 17 - 20 mph right now from the WNW. Temp about 14 and indicated wind chill is -3 degrees. Lake area lucked out again on snowfall. More forecast for the coming weekend beginning Sat. night if you can trust long-range prognostications.

Billfo Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 BuRrrRrr.... Thanks for the weather update.. Sure glad I heat taped the water pipes before I left.. This winter should be a pretty good test for my crawlspace there on Big Indian.. I put a digital thermometer in the crawlspace to record how cold it has been under there. Im starting to think I should have winterized my Merc lower unit. Oh well- too late now. btw, I seen in a real estate guide that Lampes "Corner Drive-inn" was for sale. Hear anything ? I know the owners are from Nebraska (near me) but moved to the lake area in the 90s. I hate to see a business leave the area. Especially something I enjoy ! Again, Thanks for the reply !

Bill (BillfO = Bill from Omaha) Bill, please post the lowest temperature when you get it. It would be interesting to see. As far as businesses for sale... this economy has not been nice to local small busineses. Drive Hwy 13 from the bridge to Branson West and look at all the empty commercial real estate. We need a boom in the economy! But, I am not holding my breath.

Sure thing, all you gotta' do is show up. Lake is getting so low now ( 908.6 ) that I'm concerned about getting the boat off the lift when this Arctic stuff leaves us alone. 5 Degrees this morning with 8 - 10 mph winds and -8 wind chill. Know what you mean about cabin fever.

Bill (BillfO = Bill from Omaha) Roger has been trying to sell the beautiful Downtown Lampe "Corner Drive-In" for a while. He's been closed for several Months now and won't re-open until April or May. The Baxter Country store has also been up for sale for some time and we will miss the owners when they leave/sell if anyone can ever pry any money out of the danged banks these days. They did wonders with that old place but want to move on. This economy has not been good for Mom & Pop businesses and once the new Hwy 13 bypass is completed between "OO" and just South of "DD", probably more economic stress will visit business owners along that stretch of road. If your pipes in the crawlspace survived last Winter this one, so far, will not be a problem. As far as the Merc lower unit, IMHO it's good to change the lower unit lube in the Fall and note the color and condition of the old lube. Good time to make sure no water has gotten in from discarded fishing line wrapping around the hub or just old age of the shaft seals. I got a nasty surprise on my Yammy this Fall and had to have the seals updated.

Our OPEC "pals" seem to be making sure that the economy will remain in the septic tank. We get a little bit of a rebound and "boom", they stick it to us on oil prices again.
