    Yesterday about 10 AM it started raining on our 11" deep global warming. Can't wait to get a look at the river today.

    If we get a freeze now the roads will be a real mess!

    -14 this morning, so obviously it;s happening.

    We didn't get the arctic air until today, but teens are plenty cold enough for me. It'll be single digits this afternoon.

    The weather folks missed the mark again, but I'd say I woke up to an easy 8" (giggity) and spent a couple hours shoveling & snow blowing a few houses.

    Woke up to -4 it's supposed to get up to high teens maybe 20 by 4 pm.... more snow possible tomorrow but temps higher in the twenty's predicted.... I thought my electric bill was high from the cold last month, probably give me a heart attack seeing the one this month central HVAC running non-stop trying to stay above 69 in the house.... stay safe everyone.

    Up here in New York State on the Vermont border, it gets a wee bit chilly during the winter. Why just the other morning, I went out on the porch with a cup of coffee to see how cold it got. I put the cup down and accidently knocked it over.

    The coffee came out in one frozen chunk.....

    When I picked the chunk of frozen coffee up.....I burned my hand....

    Are you into politics?


    If not you are missing a calling with stories (lies) like that.

    It is so cold the flame froze on my candle, so now I must wait until spring when it will thaw enough I can blow it out!

    Thank goodness I don't live 10 miles north because they had a low of -21 this morning. By comparison I only had a balmy -13. The great lakes moderate the temps and keep Michigan warmer than Wisconsin, at least until they freeze over like now.☹️ Bob

    After clearing 8 inches of snow in front of 9 houses yesterday it is at a balmy 24 degrees today.

    Perhaps a few more windmills would help! Well maybe not.

    Historic winter storm freezes Texas wind turbines (statesman.com)

    odd thing about Texas... they are not connected to the power grid. kinda a unit all to their own, with wind, solar, coal and natural gas generation units.....unfortunatly there was no PLAN B as to what will happen is any segment goes down.. and they got caught with their pants down

    It turns out none of their power generation system was hardened against winter weather. They have lost generation capability across all sectors of their grid. They even had to shut down nuclear. Not a lot of planning for the worst conditions and probably awarded construction contracts to the lowest bidders. Bob
