This weather is just great

[wetstuff]

We went from this a couple of weeks ago...

.. to nearly 50 degrees today! Having come from Wisconsin/Minnesota when Winter meant something, this is a cakewalk. These timely breaks in The Cold seem a lot easier on your psyche. I have friends on Cape Breton Is. - they smoke a lot of weed in the Winter.

I hope the rest of your winter is what you want. Cheers.

As far as the open station cold weather operation goes, I got an extreme artic Carhart bib to compliment my canopy. Problem solved, warm and dry.

People with low sloped roofs are gonna have to start thinking about removing some weight, I did my truckport and had a few calls with people having leaks in the house caused by ice dams, removed snow from the eaves on 2 houses yesterday.

Yup - Carhart bib coveralls, double socks, a thick sweater, warm gloves & a good, windproof jacket works for me. And a goofy hat.

We spent most of Sunday up on ladders taking the snow & ice off of our roof after finding a small leak at one of the window casements. Thankfully it was warm & sunny.

Batten down the hatches!

Yeah that's some good advice!

-15 degrees possible Sunday night/monday morning, That's gona wreck havoc for an area that never sees those temps. They said our air is coming straight off the NORTH POLE!

Front Page of the Courant today all about ice dams and roofs caving in. it said CT has to date almost 5 feet of snow, which is 3 feet over average.

Funny how that's been the general pattern the past couple years. You guys get dumped on and we get the tail-end. We have about the normal amount of snow here. Glad we have that on the ground with this cold snap coming. We went into winter with a lot of ground moisture, which can make for really deep frost penetration.
