I decided to go ahead and grade my gravel road today since it was so darn warm. 66 degrees here in Branson now.

Our temps have been decent. Last two days have been thick fog. Melted most of our snow. Total mess, water running everywhere. Tried to do some electrical in my new house buiild. It was "raining" inside.

Polar Vortex is gone here. Went West. Calgary is -28c now, and Toronto is +6C. Last week it was the oposite!

Weather is sure screwed up this year. I just went through a week of minus 50°C/minus 58°F. Then 2 days ago it went to plus 1°C and we had freezing rain and then by that night it was back to minus 17°C.
Only thing that didn't start in the minus 50 was my gas VW Jetta. I was very surprised my Detroit Diesel DD15 SCR emission motor ran problem free all week. I thought for sure I would have DEF related issues.

We went from -20F to 50F in 4 days. Last night we even had a thunderstorm and rain. Put a kibosh on the ice fishing.

Yeah, I saw that on the news. 70 degrees of actual temperature change. Felt like 95 degrees if we consider wind chill. I was wearing a T-shirt walking around between buildings at my employer just a few days after wearing Carharts and insulated jeans.
But I've yet to break out my long underwear yet this year! :laughing:
Did you go out in the vortex? I am looking for better options for insulated clothing. I bought a Berne Insulated Coverall, but it is not insulated enough. What level of Carhartt do you have? I am looking for a one piece not a bib and jacket. Probably will run down to the Working Persons Store tomorrow and see what they have left in stock.
