The thermometer is dropping like a rock here.  It's already down to 30° and is forecast to reach a low of 29° tonight !!!  As I said, you Northern folks just don't understand.  This is some serious cold that we are dealing with.  :o

There is talk that we may just cancel tomorrow because it's supposed to be warmer Tuesday.   ::)

You know Magicman, It can get cold riding it the chair with tail men working.
Good to get off the chair from time to time to warm up.


  

 
Sometimes the logs are frozen in.

Oh no, no complaint.  This brutal weather is temporary.  Grits are forever.

Anyway, we have a Southerly breeze and the temperature is 50° and rising.  Our highs for the rest of the week will be the low 70°'s and our lows will be the low 60°'s.

Y'all come back now....ya hear.   smiley_wavy

well i guess ya all from the south would make fun of us when we complain about it being 75 to 80 degrees here in the summer

When I go to Maine and my brothers there tell me it's humid today I laugh out loud. :D

Take out any Mail boxes this year while plowing? ;D
mail boxes? i might have tagged one or two. with just the right snow conditions and speed i can open the doors on them and leave them standing. we went o a 75 mile snowmobile ride today. temp was 0 when we started all the way up to a steamy 8 when we got home. and yes i hate mail boxes everybody that plows hates them

Our Roadmaster tells a funny story.  He was plowing a new development that had only about three occupied houses, and he was cruising pretty good with no traffic around.  He was turning a corner, and sent the port-a-john flying.  He did stop to check that it was empty before he went back to the Township building. 

Say when

Any of you that are not use to the cold need any cold sawing tips.  :D
I see WM has some blades for ya.  ;D

In an emergency like this.. you can use dry grits instead of sand.  ;D

Magicman

We are well into the 70°s now so the Grits would cook if you put them on the road.  :o

   You can even use dry grits to mix with tiny seeds like turnips and such so you can see where you have planted. Dad went to our local store one time and told Miz Elsie, the owner, he needed 5 lbs of grits and they could be old buggy ones as he was going to plant them, not eat them. Miz Elsie said she had never heard of anyone planting grits and dad told her "Oh yeah, it works great. The grits sprout first and shade the baby turnips keeping them from getting sunburned and stunted." Miz Elsie did not appreciate the humor in his reply.

We hit it in Tennessee, then Virginia, then out of it in Pennsylvania, then back in it crossing the hutson  in NY, then all the way to Mass. The car and SUV got quite salty!

I remember back ion the 70's when a guy in Texas got back from working on the pipeline in Alaska and he was interviewed by a news reporter.
They talked quite a bit about the conditions he worked in, at the end of it he was asked if that was the coldest he had ever been. He told them, heavens no, the coldest I heve ever been was sitting in a deer stand in Llano Texas. lol

My neighbor,Butch, was a pipe line welder in Wyoming in the early '80's.

He was workin' with a fella from Texas one gnarly November day and the geese were heading south.The fella started packing up his gear.Butch says,"What are you doing?"Fella says,"I'm going south,them geese aren't smarter than me."
