Snow!

Just thought I'd check the state of charge of my car battery - I don't use my car much and have been using it even less recently. So off I go to web to check voltages for battery charge: 100% 12.7V, 75% 12.4V, 50% 12.2V, 25% 12V. Put voltmeter in lighter socket and get a reading of 11.25V. Ouch, I should really run the engine more often than every other week. Car started okay though, and low temperatures may affect the reading, and mine isn't a regular lead-acid battery either. So much for theory, or rather, reading just one part of a theory packed page.

Wouldn't have been easier just to clap the charger on it for a couple of hours regardless, and not worry about all the physics?

Well...

That's winter over with - still suffering from CABIN FEVER!!!

Off to client this week - I'm one week behind, I should have started winding down for Christmas last week.

I've got a few doors to open up on the Advent.

Busy, busy,busy...

I considered it, but thought it would be more hassle, especially as my car might be parked 100m away, and my charger isn't the trickle variety so I considered that it might cook my battery, though I suppose I could monitor its charge manually with a voltmeter.

In other boring news, I bought some of that cling film secondary glazing stuff yesterday (the last one in the shop) and have secondary glazed my windows. It has made a huge difference - I don't have a wall of sinking Arctic air cascading from the windows now. But I also did the kitchen and the stuff is so airtight my kitchen is still stunk out hours after cooking. I may have to fashion a resealable hole in it somehow (near the top being best?) or take it down from the kitchen. Phew it stinks in here. [I don't cook on gas obviously]

It's snowed again this morning. It had virtually all gone yesterday. Damn this never ending warming.

BTW get yourself a CTEK battery conditioner thingy. I must go and connect mine up as I haven't used the car in nearly a week.

Snowing with a vengeance and stuck again for another few days

Coming down here with a vengeance too, between 5 and 10cm on the plus side it's only zero degrees Celsius.

Just woke up, look out the window and there must be 3 inches of fresh snow in the last 6 hours.

Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past - Environment - The Independent

You're under this?



Is it moving north or south, it's not far north of where I am...
