Hows everyone else doing?

Minus 20 degrees C up here in Canuckistan aka the 51st...lol no snow, but there's always a chance... 

Hunker Down my Friend!  Where we normally have at least two feet of snow about this time we are now at 4".  I don't mind as I have only had to Plow once so far. No laughing as I have seen first hand the west side of the state completly shut down. And we are now watching your area getting Hammerd on the News!

Some of y'all probably don't want to hear it, but I miss snow.  Low of 47 and high of 63 for the Space Coast today.  My friends are all crying about that but I enjoy the "cold" when we get it.  Too much hot for nine months per year here.  The rain that started last night is supposed to be non stop through Thursday though.  I do hate rain.  Especially three days solid during the dry season.  No top or wipers on the car contributes to the misery, but the windshield is a step up from my two wheel days.

-25° F this morning.  Yesterday's HIGH temp was -6° F


  • Man that is cold weather it’s perhaps perfect weather to run some Zamboni down some orange track onto a platter of frozen water and see how they do — AbbyNormal

Here on the pacific coast near the Columbia River, January is the heart of winter for us. Some years we get some snow down in the valley's or like now we are stuck in a cycle of high 20's at night and upper 30's / low 40's all day. Just cold enough to make the garage shop too cold and there is no warming it up. Gotta kick out a GT car this week and prep 2 cars for shipping next week. 

Stay warm and safe everyone.

@alva1370 - Nice pic of your area and I saw the hummingbird and feeder. We feed our native hummers year round and on weeks of freezing weather I deploy my hillbilly pie plates with Christmas lights to warm the nectar.
