Brrrrr.

I grew up there, north of Utica in the Adirondack foothills. It was always freezing! Sometimes in the double digits below zero. Often in the winter our pipes would freeze and we couldn't get running water.

Our downstairs bathroom pipes always froze in the winter when we had a house. Apartment we are in now seems good so far. Space heater in the bathroom helps too. But if the temps stay sub zero for long I expect we will have issues. I already can’t wait for spring and it isn’t even January.

Down to 150 gallons of heating oil. Ordered 300 more yesterday. No way I'm going to get through the winter without it. Yikes! $800!!! Hopefully my driveway will be plowed when the truck comes. (They're busy these days and the usual driver retired, so there's a new one on the route way out here in the sticks.)

The roads are all snow covered, but plowed. Most of them here are unpaved. Thankfully I live on a school bus route, so my very rural county takes pains to clear the path for the few kiddies who live in the area.

Going to hunker down for a few days.

Keep bundled up, kiddies!

(or vodka, according to taste! )

-3 here in Kansas City this morning, so I feel *some* of your pain!

55 miles south of Chicago
Played golf 2 weekends ago

The dog did not do his usual patrol of the yard this morning, he was all business and not long out there.

My dog goes to pee, and then eats and has to go out again to poop. The 2nd trip was extremely efficient. He clearly remembered the trip 10 minutes before.

It was -1 yesterday, but had a about a 15 mph north wind. Today the wind is west northwest but only a few mph. So, it actually felt colder even though it was 5 degrees warmer at the same time yesterday.

But it did snow a bit over the weekend. Hey, senator Inhofe, want to come up and make a snowball?

And going even lower later in the week! My poor dog would not go out - and I didn't blame him!

-25 wind chill. Supposed to get warmer tomorrow with some snow tonight... coming your way!

Cats will not go out.

with negative #s coming soon

Weather Underground is showing Wisconsin Rapids @ - 23 F right now

Birds at the feeders are all puffed up this morning.

I'm in the banana belt.

Ate some great chow at a German restaurant there, years ago. Great dumplings and killer brandy old fashioneds. (not that there is a safe way to make BOF's in Wisconsin!)

-11 driving in to work in southern Minnesota

So I'm writing this post from my car for warmth lol

manitowoc / welbilt is a client.

... which is fairly unusual. Our winters are long (like end of October to end of April), but not nearly as severe as many people think for Colorado. We've been enjoying an unusually warm winter with temperatures frequently in the 60s and hardly any snow, and tomorrow it will be back in the 50s.

sorry, had to do that. No impulse control.

The kids had recess if it was above 0...schools were closed at -30...we are at 8 here in Northern Ohio.

Brrrrrrr! I generally like Winter and snow, but not these frigid temperatures. And they are not going away anytime soon.

I can't even take the pupper for a decent walk.

apparently we need a snowflake or some winter smilies, but this one will do

Spent a couple days in the snow belt towards Michigan way week or two ago...u Don't have to shovel cold.. aslong as my furnace works....the TV says local-3 inside much warmer

You guys know how to welcome a SoCal boy. Brrr!

A balmy 17 degrees.

Good thing I have no plans to go anywhere today.
