Be a great day to live in a tent....Neighbors "bathroom" is a Home Depot five gallon pail, outside...
 
Apparently, your cold snap is heading out our way but another front is going to cut it off before it hits..I would prefer snow to this darn cold rain...

Yep its coming to west texas late this week. Supposed to be in the low 30s tonite, and in the low 20s all the rest of the week along with freezing rain, sleet, and ice. I got some of my firewood piled in the garage just in case we lose power, i can use my fireplace. Screwed up part is its 80 degrees now. Im wearing shorts and a t shirt LOL.
 
Looking like a little snow here now. Usually a light dusting each year with a couple inches on the ground every few is all. Guess I won't be driving the Dart to work on Friday just in case.

How funny I accidentally first posted one from last summer and now I can't get rid of it. So I guess you get to see the full range.

Yep, i brought firewood in just in case we need it. Ice storms have a tendency to knock the power out in my neighborhood. Might need to get a generator.
 
It's -30 here now with a wind chill warning in effect. Brrrrrr

"Frigid temperatures combined with brisk winds will create extreme wind chill values near minus 45 this morning. At these extreme wind chill values frostbite on exposed skin may occur in less than 10 minutes."

Thick wool socks maybe!!!! LOL

no, just regular socks ...wool ones itch and leave marks on your skin where they were and then you have re-lotion your legs after you scratch where the wool made them itch ....not a good deal. regular socks are trouble enough :-s
 
Ok then, regular it is! Might have gotten wet if you had received the 12" of snow that appeared yesterday on my deck.
 
...counted 5 motorcycles on the road today....probs are for warmer tomorrow..
 
We have a wind chill advisory until the 7th. Coming home we saw 5 on the thermometer in the Explorer. Go figure, I picked today to take some waste oil to the recycling center.....it was pouring like molasses.
Good thing about when we get a cold spell like this.....our normal temps seem warm........
Nights like tonight are good hot chocolate nights....not that powdered crap from a bag, Ernie's aunts in Mexico made her some chocolate blocks to make it from, heat up some milk, slice off a piece or two......toss some marshmallows in.....
We were gone all day today. Left both pellet stoves on......gotta wonder of the dogs even went outside at all today....
Hope everyone is staying warm....
 
The Farmer's Almanac states that "Today is the start of a 9 day stretch that is considered the best days to do outside chores ie. mowing & digging"

Boy, is it wrong... 3 to 4" of that white stuff and 18°F now and 4°F tonight.
