No.

FOFreak, who just HAD to too!

Would it help if he gave it his awl, Terpy pointedly queried? If so, kindly give tubaman his pun diamond back!

So it looks like tomorrow may be the first time they'll have to deal with snow on the worksite!

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.

Mid 30's? I believe that is just a little below the Upper 30s and Low 40s averege for this time of year.

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.

Wind Chill does make all the difference though.

I'm surprised no one has caught up on this yet:

^ 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.

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.

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!

Awesome pics!

Who can not wait to see this baby roll April 17?!

Who can not wait to see this baby roll April 17?!

did you really have to ask that

^ Yeah, I think it's a pretty obvious answer.

-looks at avatar-

Sorry it's just the anticipation is destroying me!!!!

I know, I am seriously about to go insane. I can just not wait until the countdown on my computer desktop reads "Diamondback!- 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds" and the date in my school agenda says Diamondback Preview Day!!!!!! That day will be surreal, I will have to ride SoB just to make sure I am not dreaming!

If you hit all zeros, won't you be at KI?

It will be awesome to finally ride this thing, after watching it sprout up.

ok seriousaly e covered that. now we all want to ride Diamondback

so back on topic i wonder what will be done today.

^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

User faints.

(Terpy, amazed that Jackson has learned about wind chills and more amazed that he would do something that has NOTHING to do with parks! )

^I have been a meteorologist since the Tornado of 1999, which hit us 3 days before my 3rd birthday.

I'm just anxious for the weather to break so we have something to talk about on here. Not that to, too & two puns aren't a party! -David, who has learned the art of disclaimers and states that he means no offense.

Is anyone else really excited about hearing that signature B&M roar come to KI?

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!"

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.

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.

so let's hope there isn't a lot of snow this winter!

SHUN!!!! SHUN!!!! SSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Jackson, who's busy dreaming of a White Christmas, just like ones he used to know, with sleigh bells, ringing......

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!

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.

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.
