The "Farm" got hit hard with ice. I grabbed this photo from their Facebook page. They are still without electricity and will remain close. They removed 30 trailers of limbs just today and have plenty more.

Revived fire again for the evening.

Good morning, the low temperature is -25 and the high will be 16°F. Wind WSW 5 mph. After it warms up a bit we are expecting about an inch of snow.

This IS an odd winter, check is 55 miles by road south east of me and he has gotten more snow and more deep cold.

I think today will be an energy conservation day. I did what I had to do when the tractor came back because of a commitment to the neighbours. I have no such commitment to myself. My driveway will get cleaned out, when I get around tuit and the temperature WILL be on the + side of zero.

Have a safe day all

Good morning,

-16°F now, highs in the low to mid teens with sunshine and west winds 15-25 mph, gusts around 40. Supposed to warm to the 40’s tomorrow and the rest of the week.

No dump run this morning, closed due to cold/wind. Good, I wouldn’t want to be out there today either! People will surely b*tch and moan that they are inconvenienced but that seems to be a national pastime now a days.

Nothing planned for today except to help the mrs with a beef stew and some fresh bread.

stay safe and well

19 this morning warm compared to others need to go back to sleep

 

[check]

Eeep! Back to bed.

Morning all!
I can join the minus club. Currently -16 actual. Going to top off the pellet stove and head back to bed! Although a coffee sure sounds good right now.
Stay warm everyone!

Drinking first cup of HOT coffee. 8° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 31° with mix of sun and clouds. Yesterday I got started on last years paper work. Then did a whole pile of paper shredding. Today will be the same. Neighbor will be coming over to help remove old TV and set new one in place on wall mount.

Looking and others, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

Ugh, Looks similar around here. Not quite as bad. Hopefully, not too many snapped. Most of my trees recovered once the ice melted. Good luck !

9F and partly cloudy @ 05:30, headed up to around 35F for the high. Definitely on the upswing temperature-wise - by Tuesday they are calling for a high of 51F.

Fell asleep on the couch after shower last night, woke up at some point and went on to bed. Woke up there around 02:00 got up and took a leak (forgot to take meds yesterday) and couldn't go back to sleep so I got up, made a cup of kaffee con leche, and proceeded to go down the YouTube rabbit hole.

This one from Stumpy Nubs on dust collection in the workshop is for David:

After watching a few videos I went back and warmed up my now half cup in the micro, fed the little beggar some treats (twice), and flipped the switch out in the garage on the torpedo heater.

I'll throw some clothes here in a minute or so and head out there and see what mischief I can get into.

Unsure of agenda(s) for the rest of the day.

When I ran down to the hardware I noticed that someone had removed our recycle and trash cans up at the road ... MIA, Nada, Zippo ...

Last time this happened it was contractors working at the house next door that had recently sold to a flipper but they just dragged them over to that driveway.

This time there isn't hide nor hair of them.

Might go up to that house later and have a look in through the garage window and see if someone stuck them in there under the assumption that they belonged to that house.

At any rate, The Woman called the trash hauler and they'll deliver new ones sometime on Tuesday. Unfortunately, pick up is usually very early Tuesday morning ...

Hope everyone has a great Saturday ...
