We got down to -20 with a wind chill of -52 right as the sun was coming up. Just loaded the boiler and coal stove and the greenhouses are struggling to stay above freezing in the wind. Wore all my military gore tex stuff to go out. Have to go to the barn and check the chickens in a while.
Warm up on the way Mule. Itis just now up to zero here, and we are going all the way up to the low teens today. By the weekend we will be above freezing they are saying... Hang in there...

Looks like another round of bitter cold and severe wind chills starting tonight. The Amish came up and finished my wood today. I have been so sick With a stomach bug I did not go out. Felt better when they were done so I took them home and then brought 2 of the boys back and they unloaded the 40 bags of coal off the truck. Then I drove them over for a load of hay as they were about out. Wish I had some more hay that was fit for horses to give them.
0 here and a high of 6 today. last night we had 60MPH gusts of wind, and the temps dropped nearly 50 degree's. Not much relief till Wednesday.

I damned near got frostbite this morning just going out to brush off the durango. -48C windchill. Strong winds all day today. You could get frostbite in a matter of minutes. Actually had to wear a jacket today.
other than my tub not draining due to ice, i'm glad it's winter. way better than that sweaty, (not that i sweat- i'm a woman & i'm thus exempt), humid, sticky, wrinkle-inducing weather that summer brings. then i hafta get a pool pass, buy new swim gear, ruin my hair color via said pool(s), run my a/c incessantly, buy sunscreen, miss my loved ones, as most worthwhile holidays arrive during wintertime, & then i hafta begin doin' crunches to tone my abs. fuk summers. i'll take winters.
Dog was out for 5 minutes and then came in limping on 3 legs. Only 0 degrees out. She's going to thing tomorrow sucks...
I'm with you Aubrey. You can dress for the cold but can't undress for the heat. Well, maybe you can but I'm an old fat male so it's not an option.

I'll agree with you to a certain degree on that one. I enjoy winter but today was just insane. The gusting ice cold wind freezing any exposed skin in a matter of minutes was not fun.
Warmed up today. It's only -43C today.

I feel for all of you folks back there. Today it will be in the low 70's with high clouds. All of the flowering trees are blooming including my Chinese tulip tree. The fruit tree buds are begining to swell. The birds are singing like crazy. It looks like spring has sprung here.
That's why I live in SoCal. The snow is in the mountains where it belongs. As Vin Scully once said, I can go to the beach, mountains, desert, and a Dodger game all in the same day if I wanted to.
We've been down below freezing in East Texas for the last two days. Will one of you guys up north close that damned door. We're getting a hell of a draft down south here. 
To be honest, it'll be back up in the high 60's in a couple of days. If I lived where some of you guys live, I'd pack my bags and move. Just don't move to Texas, it's getting crowded here as it is.

Yeah, gotta admit anybody from over the border(Ga) ain't the brightest bulb in the box. We pulled our trucks about 1530 yesterday even though we could have hauled another hour or two. Just not worth the risk.Hey, we were just trying to get y'all a day off from work. We tried but obviously Atlanta didn't listen. Now they're in bad shape.
