Beast1979 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 So it looks like tomorrow may be the first time they'll have to deal with snow on the worksite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 At most about an inch is expected. High winds are apt to be more of a factor, with gusts of up to 30 mph expected. I doubt you see much outside work done tomorrow. It is also supposed to be unseasonably cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Mid 30's? I believe that is just a little below the Upper 30s and Low 40s averege for this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 You are not factoring in the wind chill, which the weather service does. Add that up to 30 mph wind to those temperatures, and it will be absolutely bracing out. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findwe...ast?query=45040 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tycoonrebel7188 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 ^ I think what you are seeing there is the white crane. To me it just looks a little too close to the crest of the second hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm surprised no one has caught up on this yet: That is the drop out of the MCBR. Also, the top of the second hill is topped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Here are some photos of the topped off second hill that I took on Wednesday the 26th on my way back to Cincy from Cbus. Sorry for the quality....These were taken with my phone, and the last one I attempted to zoom in some. Enjoy! KI's new skyline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 ^Today? Likely nothing you'd care about or anything that'd keep you glued to the webcam. Mr. Derek Beasly (From Chanel 5 (Whom I trust)) said wind chills will stay in the upper 20's (Not prime for construction work) and a steady snow should be falling throughout the day covering the grass (Not prime for construction work). My advice? Go play in the snow and don't stick yourself to kiDiamondback.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74Gibson Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I'm just anxious for the weather to break so we have something to talk about on here.

Beast1979 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I for one don't want it to break, I like the snow and in my opinion, "Let it snow let it snow let it snow!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Something tells me if they didn't do work on any day "not prime for construction work," they would never get finished. They do work in the cold, and they do work in light snow (a dusting like today won't prevent much of anything from happening). Even wind, while it can stop vertical construction, doesn't stop work all together. Heavy snow and such can definitely delay a project, so let's hope there isn't a lot of snow this winter! Slight cold, and a dusting of snow shouldn't stall much. Think of parks like CP where it's far snowier, and far colder in the winter, and they still manage to get coasters built on time. Construction workers are adapted to working in cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Is anyone else really excited about hearing that signature B&M roar come to KI? YES! You are the second person to mention B&M roars this morning.. .. right after I have a dream about going to Cedar Point. I was just getting ready to ride MF when my alarm woke me up.

CoastersRZ Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 You, obviously have never had to drive in Cincinnati when there are a couple of inches of snow on the roads. Cincinnati drivers freak out if there is even a couple inches of snow on the ground! I`ve spent several four hour drives in my car going home from UC or my co-op jobs downtown. That`s four hours for a normal twenty five to thirty minute drive time, all because people insist on going super slow for just a couple of inches of snow! Trust me, its not fun when you leave UC at 3:30, and don`t get home until 7:30, and you`ve only traveled 16 miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Drivers do freak out, and I've never understood why. Living in Cincy for so long, and now at school up here in Cbus, I was surprised to find it even worse up here... But assuming the workers get to KI, I'm sure they can handle a little snow and cold.

74Gibson Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 They topped off MF with snow on the ground so I'm sure they'll do just fine (and yes I know it wasn't Adena that built it). Kudos to those guys though! Can you imagine being that high up, in winter weather, working on cold steel. That's courage, stamina, might etc... As for bad drivers, In Fort Wayne they don't slow down and we have the most rediculous ammount of wrecks. Someone died yesterday. They were stopped at a light, in a low traffic area, and someone plowed into them from behind and sent them into oncoming traffic. Again I note that we need some construction progress.
