It may not be that cold here yet ( calling for a record M-T night of -2 ) but I'll be out in this mess the next few nights ( snow and sleet ). Twelve hour shifts in the plows unless it gets bad then who knows , I've been out for about 48 hours straight and only stopped long enough to load salt or clean the ice off the wipers . Not to bad if I'm plowing but running around hitting bad spots or surveillance gets old after a while .

Stay safe everyone .

Haha I don't how you guys do it!  Today's high in central Florida was 83 F.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  It will be nice when it cools off a little though.  I'm just not looking forward to the freezes  >:D.

High 70's here in my parts. I'd rather be cooler in the stand though. Deer stopped moving during hunting hours with it being mid-50's at night. Hard to fill the freezer that way!

I once went ice fishing up in Williston, ND at 50F below.  Changed a power steering hose in Nipawan Saskatchewan at 51F below.  I feel I have sufficiently proven that I can take it, so I do not feel ashamed for having moved down out of the arctic country to South Dakota where it is so much balmier!

I'm surprised you were able to change the tire at all, Stoker.  I'da thunk the lug nuts would have been shrunk up inside the body of the car.

Saw the saddest thing today. A little old lady pouring hot water from a teakettle trying to get her little chihuahua unstuck from the fireplug on the corner.

29 below this morning!  Worked for several years in Alaska at Prudoe Bay and one winter at Barrow.  By XMas there is no light except those Northern Lights and its 80 below.  I can tell you for a fact that 80 below is twice as cold as 40 below.  JW you don't even think about a fire hydrant at that temperature.  Joe

You northern guys will like this one. All schools in my part of Northwest Alabama were delayed until 10am this morning. It was 30F and there was a chance of freezing rain last night. The roads were dry when I drove to work at 7:30.




Saw the saddest thing today. A little old lady pouring hot water from a teakettle trying to get her little chihuahua unstuck from the fireplug on the corner.

About 2 weeks ago it was in the mid 20s and my wife called me while I was in the treestand. That is unusual so I answered. She said it had been a wild morning. She heard screaming coming from our back porch which is odd because nobody is supposed to be on our back porch but our dogs. Then she said, " Did you know a dog could scream?" Our poor little Mt Cur, Lyla, tried to get a drink and her tongue froze to the very frozen over water bucket. My wife had to get warm water and pour over it to get her tongue free. Even our dogs can't handle the cold. I asked her why she didn't video it. We could be rich.

Come on up here in your 'swimming shorts and flip flops'... I guarantee you you'll find other words than 'invigorating' for our cold.  ;D

It's crazy for me to see you all reporting.  It's been hot down here in S. Florida.  Yesterday it hit about 86.  Too hot for this time of year.
