No they have rings that drop down from the top of the cable to the bottom. But they don't automatically traverse back up; some poor sap has to go up each cable and reset them after they have all been deployed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't even pay guys to run most of the weigh scales all the time. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Apropos of nothing, but I read an article today that said Atlantic Canada and parts of Quebec are expected to be warmer than Florida, over the Christmas holidays. Temps in the Maritimes of around 15 degrees C, while Orlando is looking at single digit minuses.... Snowbirds be like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll probably hit the Interior and Northern BC. But yes, Winter Is Coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Doubt we’ll be seeing any extreme cold like -30, but it’s expected to drop down to freezing in about a week or two, and possibly some snow coming by the end of January (on the Lower Mainland).

BoKnows Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Going to be 1º around here for the next few days then drop hover around -5º. That is warm as balls for this time of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a solid dump of snow for a week or so will keep the Covidiots home and help flatten the curve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work outside a lot. So, snow is welcome cause I'll have time off. If its just cold as balls, then I'm grumpy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
