It's Cold !

My dad and I were talking yesterday about how bad the situation must be for some folks in the north east. Especially the poor. We have been on the western edge of these arctic air masses every time this year. The first couple stayed around a while, but it has been getting down into single digit and teens a couple days & nights a week then warms back into the 50's during the day with night lows in the 30's until the next blast of cold. Last night at 7:00 it was 45F with a 5 mph wind. One hour later was 35F and 45 mph wind. Now we are in the teens and 30 mph winds. Hope you all can keep your houses warm till spring.

on the bright side ; Just glad I have my Kubota B-3000 with it's handy front end blower to do the clean-up around the farm.

Weird here. We've been single digits to teens during the week but 40-50 on weekends. I've been doing lot's of yard work on weekends.

Ready for spring though.

I'm the other way around. I can get outdoors early and come up with the heat. Cold, I can get so many layers of clothes on, that I look and feel like the Michelin Man, and still freeze, and get claustrophobic, I'll take 110 over 20, any day of the year!

I am with you on the cold/heat. Having spent a good deal of time in the cold, I hate it! I can still deal with it by putting on layers but then I feel like I just gained 20 pounds and "slogging" around in the mud or snow wears me out.

I was out setting fence posts in 90 plus weather one day when my postman stopped by to chat. Knowing I was from out of town, he told me that "you know, around here folks usually do that kind of work when it's cooler or cloudy or whatever". I told him that if your neighbors think that you are a little off then they leave you alone, lol! Give me a jug of water to hit on and I can do just fine in the heat.

I've been thinking the same thing, I lived in Virginia outside of DC two years when I was a kid, liked it there.
