I bet you are getting lots of respect now. :)

Got up smiling as it was to be -8 and thought I could finally take the dogs out . Nope - -15 here.:(

apparently it hit -47 with the windchill in my parts sat night, was -35 on my thermometer... got a call from a buddy, he was in toronto, and apparently his long farm driveway got blown in with snow and his motherlaw couldnt get out, and asked me to go and blow his driveway with his tractor... well my gas truck barely started, no chance of his old diesel starting, he insisted i get it done, and told me to give her some ethier... well got her going, didnt sound like it liked it but she fired lol

Sometimes friends have to venture out into nasty weather to help each other out. You did good Steve. Helping a guy get his MIL out of the house. Now if you find a way to keep her out he'd never be able to repay you.

I am loving the cold temps. Just wish it would include more snow. When April hits that is when the cold and snow can go away and warm up and bring me the thunderstorms :)

Man, I'm getting tired of hearing the furnace come on every 15 or 20 minutes! Good thing nat gas is 'reasonably' priced these days. :rolleyes:

Oh my! Somebody has a sense of humor today.

Thunder storms could start tomorrow and I'd be all smiles. Earthmoving is a pain in the snow.

I am with you on that. Love thunderstorms.

Only issue I have is the ice damming up on my eaves at home. The house next door casts a shadow on that section of my roof so the upper section melts in the sun and trickles down to the bottom and freezes. Was out last night boiling water and chipping away trying to relieve some of it. I came back in like a popsicle from the water and cold :)

Have all brick house so not real concerned with it getting into my walls but icicles started forming under the soffit so that was a sign that it was getting worse.

People call me crazy but I love this weather - have even been out at night running in it when it is -30 windchill.
