Mid 30's for us for the next few days, but it is supposed to drop back to normal temperatures on Monday.

Real winter will arrive here soon, complete with below zero (albeit just barely) temperatures.

The last 4 days have been real winter here. Below zero, windy, and now a pile of snow.

I think I burned almost 400 lbs of coal in 3 days.

I’m testing out the claytons capabilities today to see where I need to be when the sub zero arrives later this week. Got her chuggin. Might have to enlist Toms assistance as well due to the high winds possible with the sub temps.

Old guy life tip. When the snow starts to look pink, stop shoveling and take a rest.

When I'm in bright sunshine and snow it occasionally turns pink on me. I thought it was a problem unique to me.
