I was really nice to see the temp over 20 here today. Gave me a chance to flush the heater core in my plow truck. Sucks not having heat in it but good for a few weeks hopefully. This winter sure has been odd. Snow coming tomorrow.
Lucky you. Normally our high would be 20 this time of year, but we've been mostly single digits for 4 weeks now. I haven't seen 20 or higher since around December 7. Our trucks are parked outside because one garage bay has my tractor (so the snowblower can melt and dry off a bit between uses) and the other has a construction project. The trucks are getting cold soaked to the point where things don't work. Crazy winter. (We will have them inside before too long - brand new house with lots of lingering projects taking up space.)
24 degrees, we are barbecuing in a tee shirt.
No joke, at my last house in Marquette I would grill on the back deck down to 20 degrees. Often I had to shovel snow off for 10-15 minutes before I could reasonably access the grill. Not doing that here because it's windier and more snow, just not realistic right now.
Don't think this is a tale of woe, I actually like winter. But this climate definitely is not for everyone.
