Thank you, yes, I think so. I know now some people who were infectet. After aproximately 1 month they were all healthy again. I know a russian lady who had the infection, because she is working in a nursing home.She is also healthy again and all the residents are also no longer infected. I think the P4 BioWeaponLab-Virus from Wuhan is not so very much dangerous. Don`t worry and live best as you can, with productivity and happy!

The wind turbines don't do well in very cold temperatures. The blades are made out of fiberglass composites they are attached to a gearbox and depending on the manufacturer they will use varying bearing assemblies. All need lubricants that can run only certain range of temperatures. Can you imagine power German power companies sending out tech with pressurized gas torches to heat the rotating equipment in every wind turbine.
I have solar panels on my roof but with the snow storm about two weeks ago covered my panels for about three days there by causing my electric bill to go up because I was using more power from the grid. The Green New Dealers have no clue amongst may other issues regarding their Eco-fantasies.

Yup, traveled through there many times. Usually stopped in Watertown for food and gas.

A friend of mine grew up between Syracuse and Fort Drum.
One of his favorite sayings: Yup, It didn't snow today.

+1 THAT! LOL! I was going to say I don't mind cold winters, but being buried in footage of snow for months at a time isn't what I'm looking for. My wife is from Massena and Malone, NY region where -30 is common, but it doesn't get the snow we get here in Western NY. - don't be fooled, though, there have been really nasty snow storms up that way, I've been caught in them! We've looked into moving up to not far from where she grew up, but in the end it's still in the Peoples Republic of NY.

Always the comfort of warmer weather and less snow. Well here's a thought.

I'd rather it be value based before any meltdown, but thanks! We've been looking casually, but haven't found anything we like so far. My list of requirements isn't very large, but on top is limited government meddling and costs - which is the main problem here, a good medical facility not too far away - we are getting on in years, a decent grocery store, a decent hardware store, clean water, land with good dirt you can grow stuff in, less snowy winters than here but winter is ok. I like green stuff like trees and grass and even meadows of various flora, but I won't live in a desert or a flood plain. The saga continues...

Well....just a visit. There's the hook!
In the event of a real melt-down along the coasts, or a value based move of choice. You are welcome here.

Tempting... very tempting.

Hans- several points there, I agree with all.

As for not letting the WHO people in the lab, my first step is to keep their hands out of my pockets.

Hello, much fun with the corona Mask Carnival fashing; my Computer Shop is open: Pick-Up Service, Computer-Repairs etc. are allowed! But the big Electronic stores / my competitors are closed! I make aproximately 12% more revenue with my shop! Some customers think they must help my shop and are paying aproximately € 5 or even € 15 more ! ! Better margins and more profit, a very big shopping mall here in the near is bancrupt, but the chinese restaurant there is still open / pick-up service, to take the food is allowed! A very big nice italian Café - Restaurant with very excellent quality is closed. The boss Frank is a very good customer from my Computer-Shop. I think the corona virus came out of the communist P4 bio weapon laboratory in Wuhan near the fish-market. They did not let the people from the WorldHealth-Organisation inside the Lab. And yes, the black forrest is a very nice area and now we have very beautyful normal winter wheather! Take care on yourself and best wishes

Hans

I have the same issue with my satellite dish, but it doesn't run on coal at all. I have to send my wife outside and up the hill to knock the snow off. She's German too, some anyway.

Welcome HansRonstadt. I spent eight months in Germany in 1976 and enjoyed the beauty and the friendly folks. Stay safe, you and your family, and stay well.

Come west young man.....we have field artillery here!

I live in the 4th largest US County with a pop. of 53k. No coal.

But lots of gold. With the main transcontinental rail and highway route running right through the middle, we should be able to buy anything we need. But little known to most, the Biden moratorium on oil and gas on federal lands also puts a moratorium on surface disturbance "permits". No drilling for gold either. You can still stake a mining claim, but you can't do anything with it except pay the feds the annual "maintenance fee".

No doubt the moratorium will become permanent as they phase Uncle Joe out.

Greetings, Hans! I hope all goes well with you and your family! Thank you for posting here!

Looking at the state of things now I wish my grandfather and father stayed with the farms. I'm city raised, but remember as a child visiting relatives in farm country. All gone now except for memories and photographs. My wife grew up on a dairy and potato farm, but that ended when she was in her late teens. She misses the farm, but it too is long gone. If I were even 20 years younger today, I'd be looking for a small farm, but at my age I will have to take my chances what's left of Free America will hang in there until after we're dead.

We are not completely devoid of the skills of the previous generation as my wife and I grew and preserved fruits and vegetables for years and still have the knowledge. We can do some things, but not as much as when we were younger.

Maybe they need more ‘fans’ to blow the snow off the solar arrays so that the solar panels can generate more power for the wind turbine/fans to blow snow off the panels ... sarc of course

I live in a county of 75k. We have around 115k cows.....milk and gas one stop!
As a backup we have a NG powerplant that can switch to coal in a pinch. Municipal owned.

That would be Sub-Terra Black Forest?
Ha Ha Ha!

Welcome Hans! Keep us posted on your fun times in Germany.

Enough coal for more than thousand years. We could read that the coal is now only very deep in Germany. But as they were building the subway in Essen, there was everywhere very much coal!

And now his invention, the internet, has stopped working properly, too. Gore man BAD!

You have abundant coal there, enough for hundreds of years. If only the politicians would take a permanent holiday! Stay warm and safe, HansR.

Covered with snow? Al "ManBearPig" Gore ASSURED us that Global Warming would mean no more snow!
LOL
