You guys need to keep that cold up there! 

It's 3°F this morning down here!  Never got into the mid-teens yesterday.  Not going to get much warmer today if any.  I don't remember how to convert that to C's but its too cold for our thin blood!

20 degrees here in Shreveport, Bossier City Louisiana. We had snow up here day before last and then yesterday when I was coming back from New Orleans it snowed briefly down there. That doesn't happen often here.

15f here with a brisk 15mph wind and 18" of new lake effect snow.  Just finished suiting up in the blizzard wear to blow snow and process wood.  Had orders for 6 face cords the last .5 hour.  One guy is out and needs wood now  ::)  He'll pay extra  ;) ;D

I just came in from trying to leave  ::)  The door on the GMC didn't get shut tight last night so the dome light stayed on.  The battery is dead and the diesel is parked in such a way I can't get it turned around for jump without getting it stuck.  So the battery's on the charger for a bit.  I love winter  ::) ;)

Was talking to a logger friend yesterday.  He said these temps are just perfect in the bush.  It's been -20 to-40 C since Monday.  Jim says the branches are breaking off just right with the skidder.  He is logging white spruce up to 32" dbh right now. :)

That's pretty big for white spruce. I've never noticed spruce too easy to limb that way. They are tough. Fir is even more brittle in the cold. But most mills here want the limbs cut flush because of debarking. On spruce there tends to be a limb collar that needs trimming.

Well, it is 32 and raining here today, one of the hazards of living near the ocean.  Six days ago it was -32 and it sure wasn't raining.

It's a nice balmy +14degrees F here in New Hampshire right now, so I guess that it would be best not to complain too much. None the less, I decided to spend the day woodturning in my nice warm woodshop, rather than do something outdoors. The cold that most of you have been experiencing  is supposed to arrive in these parts tonight and be well below zero. Global warming has hit here though, as I can remember temps here being 20-30 below many mornings when I was a kid back in the fifties and sixties.

It started, just barely but it did start :) ;D  I got delayed for a few minutes getting out of my driveway onto the road.  Probably took 5,000 miles off the life of the clutch  ;) :)  I punched holes in the driveways with the 706 and blower.  On the level out of the wind the snow was over the tractor's front axle.  We got the two face cords processed and delivered and everything put away again.  It's still snowy and blowy so I didn't do a real good cleanup.  That'll wait until tomorrow when it's supposed to be quieter.  It's a balmy 13F here now.

At 3:00 pm it was +6° F, now it is -8° F.  Dropping fast. We had snow squals the last couple days.

The coldest in December was -7° F.
