Don’t put your tongue on the pump handle!

You got that right.

Holy global warming Batman I saw that northern Texas, LA, GA, etc is about to get hit with some winter weathers.

Here where winter is normal we are at 28 with once again winter gloom overcast skies. No sun until maybe Friday. A minor cold spell is on the way with lows in the teens just a few days it looks like.

Today is motor day, plan to run some motors on the RV, a couple of generators and my tractor has not been started for several weeks.

41 at noon under a beautifully clear Carolina Blue Sky .... forecasted high 50 falling to an overnight low of 34 .... if they are right, this will be our last night that doesn't fall below freezing for the next 10 days .... during that time some of the low temps are expected to be in single digits .... Saturday they say our high will be 32 followed by a night time low of 27 .... don't recall ever seeing only a 5 degree difference between a day's high and low temp .... looks like a nasty weather spell is rapidly approaching .... weather notice for Saturday --"Very cold with periods of snow, sleet, and freezing rain; threat of major ice storm with extended power outages and extensive tree damage"

27' and frosty-sunny this morning. Maybe 47' later.

[Sir Henry]

I’m not planning on going anywhere for the next three days. We have been getting an inch of snow almost everyday and it’s getting deeper. It’s really not a record but more of a constant battle. Now with the bitter cold I don’t want to start my car or tractor. Better to just wait it out. If the drifting keeps up I’ll be snowed in by morning.

[cooperhawk]

I just came in from plowing. I had my choice of the old Bronco or the Kubota and for today I chose the Kubota. If it gets deeper or drifting I will choose the Bronco. A lot more horsies.

Right now it's 23 but tonight we head into the deep freeze for the rest of the week. I brought in as much firewood as I have room to store, we have plenty of food and water, the propane tanks were filled a couple of days ago, our Generac ran its weekly test yesterday and reported that it's just fine, so let's hunker down for a few days.

I shoveled a path to my heated workshop so if I feel the urge I can go up there and do some woodworking.

Life is good.

28 again this morning with another day of winter gloom. Maybe some sun breaks tomorrow, sure hope so. My wife is feeling poorly and this weather isn’t helping her outlook. Cold temps coming but nothing like Coop and Sir Henry are “enjoying”.

Sounds like those who have posted on here are well prepared for the coming winter weather. The very best to all of you.

Ran my motors yesterday and everything started and ran just fine.

[Mags]

Not as cold as elsewhere, but it has been cold and dry enough, for more than a couple weeks, for the ground and vegetation to freeze-dry out.
24' and sunny-hazy-frosty this morning. Maybe 42' later.

My official temperature is -33F and I have winds 10-25 mph. I need to settle in for the long run as our high today will only be -12F. It will be eight days before we hit positive temperatures when next Saturday it will be +1F. At -33F and 25 mph wind the feels like temperature is -92F

The weather man says it’s only -27F. I wonder what else the weatherman and news get wrong.

Hey it’s 73F inside and I’m walking around barefoot on my heated floors. My real concern is propane not vaporizing. My tanks are mostly under snow and because of the volume I should have enough vapor. Picture is from upstairs bedroom window. I’m NOT going outside.

I’m almost embhassased to report my temp of 19 AVOVE ZERO. This is our little cold spell from being on the western edge of the Arctic blast being suffered by BRM, Sir Henry and Coop. We haven’t had any cold temps to speak of this season. Also not much in the way of snowfall. Best to all you affected by the Winter blast coming in the weekend.

Heading to the doc this morning for some routine stuff. I might hit a gun shop nearby and take a look for any pistols in 32 acp. Got a hankering for a Walther PPK-S or better yet a PP. Not looking for a pocket sized pistol but wouldn’t mind a Beretta Tomcat with the tip up barrel just because it’s kinda cool.

45 at 11AM on its way to a forecasted high of 50 before dropping back to an overnight low of 26 .... with a winter storm headed our way, we have an hour and a half drive to attend the funeral of the daughter of long time friends today .... we hope to be back home before dark but that's a long shot .... thankfully the storm isn't supposed to hit until tomorrow
