Rest in Peace
We had some nice, pleasant, almost warm weather for awhile, but that changed yesterday. The north wind arrived about 11 a.m. (28 mph gusting to 40), about 5:15 p.m. I noticed just a few tiny snowflakes in the air (didn't last long and no measurable precipitation), and this morning it's 20 degrees, but going for a high of 43, clear and sunny in the forecast.

26 and snowing, we had some freezing rain this morning first. A lot of things being cancelled, I’m glad I got some thing done yesterday. I lined up a couple little things for today, inside. Not a bad thing, I need to do a lot of things.

It's now 31° to match your temperature. Do you have snow like we are getting?
I looked at the WHMI site, it showed 26?

14°F and windy with light snow flurries, going up to 27° today. We dodged most of the really bad stuff last night, and only got a brisk wind as the temperature plummeted. It's definitely cold again today.
The last house I rented before leaving Granite City had a modern natural gas furnace. However, the house was originally built in the 1890s, and had a coal chute built into one side of the house that emptied into a rather large coal "bin" in the basement ... it was more of a large closet-size room really. I cleaned it up when I moved in, screwed the chute door shut, and used the space for storage. Embedded into the concrete floor next to the furnace unit was the mount for a coal buster, which the landlord had removed some years ago, having no idea what it was. He eventually opened a small restaurant just outside of town, and had that coal buster mounted on the wall with a note that anyone who could identify what it was would get 50% off their meal. He told me once that over 99% of his customers had no clue, even the older ones.
Stay warm today, gentlemen.
