The weather is really not cooperating these days. Not unusual for SW PA in Jan. It can be problematic thru Feb as well. Mar has been know to be interesting.
Thurs night to Fri am we got a lot of snow (well, 5-6"). Not generally bad but the ice under was a little problematic. So no school on Friday. The the temps dropped. I think my thermometer at the house said -5 on Sat morning. And it is no better today. 2 hour delay for cold called at 5:15 this morning. We are in the negatives again. Just to make it worse, it is not a clear crisp morning. It is cloudy out there. I can nto even imagine how cold it would be if it was clear. It is supposed to warm up this week. I think the high for today is supposed to be around 30.
Mechanical things hate this type of cold. It is not going to be warm in the mill today initially. But the machines will warm up with running.
We are still not to much success but are hopeful for today. Fri we did not get started till mid afternoon due to a number of things and Sat we were there but not runnign machines.
We got some new stuff to help with static and cohesion on Fri afternoon. Now we need to adjust for the changes it made to the fiber. Sat, Jeff from Belfast brought our rug yarn maker. We had no idea it was going to be an all day project to hook it up to the carder. Jeff is a wonderful guy and resource, so talking to him was well worth having the machines inactive.
So today was and is going to be the day we got back to rolling but it may be a couple hours later than anticipated. Hopefully, there will be a positive report later today adn some pictures of wonderful progress.
