The Cold Weather Is Here!

Fred and I usually have similar weather, but that 58 degrees is a big exception. We never got above 25 degrees all weekend, and right now we are chillin' at 15. Supposed to be about -10 tonight...Santa better dress warm.

Whoops--forgot--26* here on the hill with heavy snow now & I guess they're sayin you're sending that sub-zero stuff this way for late tomorrow---YEP, Santa better keep that back flap buttoned up

Cooling off here too, but not that cold!

Down to 17* and still Snowing. About the only place in Ohio that's going to have a White Christmas thanx to Lake Effect! Can't complain as it's looked like a Christmas Card all day. Stay warm,Gang!

28 degrees, new Polaris, no wind, sun about to come up, clear skies, all good in 99729 land.

The sun is out in central Pa! But the weather report is saying snow tomorrow. The 5 degree nights and teen temps for the daytime highs for the rest of the week. Happy New year old man winter is coming back !!!

Adventure ahead!

-5 here with a stiff North wind. House is cozy, but the EFM won't get much time off tonight.

Handfed burning, boiler loafing along, all is good.

Woke up to -12 with a 8 MPH North wind. -29 windchill? The dogs didn't stay outside very long!

Brrrrrrr.

Last night was minus 18.9 (yes, digital ) They said tonight was "going to be the cold one", yet I wake up to a warm & toasty minus 7. Did someone plant a palm tree?

That's cold Rob and Freddy but that's OK for you Eskimos you are used to it. I am a sensitive Lower Hudson Valley boy and tonight it's -20F with wind chill - geez. Problems? no not really. The AnthraKing will struggle a bit I am sure at the back of the house it was deliberately undersized but it's doing brilliantly. The Hitzer 50-93 OTOH is barely out of first gear at the front..... hmmm, need to put it into second gear and I installed it there for exactly this eventuality ... love that coal. CNs motto, "Overkill is good but more overkill is better".

I think will will make some hot cocoa and send warm blankets over to my "environmentally friendly", damp wood burning, chimney smoke belching, Beemer owning, yuppie neighbor. He can always sleep in his car. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I slay myself. I will drive along the road and see how the solar roof guy is doing and perhaps drop off some more blankets and cocoa there too.

Too cold to wait for the bus.......so I dropped the kids off at school instead and snapped this pic in the school parking lot. One of the bus drivers told me that they started the buses last night and let them idle til this morning. Supposed to be even colder tomorrow morning.

That doesn't surprise me sterling....it was -10 on the edge of the ocean in Cutler this morning. God I am glad I moved. Funny though, my hunker down and survive for the winter mode still kicks in, even though it isn't very cold here.

Mornin' Gang ! Hello from 17* and snowing hard on Ohio's North Coast. I think our area's People have no idea how much lighter we have it compared to Northeast of us. Good to see all coalers! I'll miss this come Monday !
