6"-7" of snow, 18deg at 5 AM. Headed for the mid 20s today - single digits tonight. Seems the clocks may have fallen back but the calendar appears to have jumped forward. Feels like mid January...WTF!!

2M. I agree that damn barb wire doesn't stop that northwind worth a crap. Delivered papers last night for my erstwhile employer. Coming home this morning it was 30 degrees in town by the river. Got to the house and it was 26. Everything here covered in ice. Usually only a couple of degrees difference. Woke up to 27 degrees at 10 o'clock. My driveway looks like a bobsled run. But as the saying goes in Texas wait 15 mins and the weather will change. Supposed to be mid 60's by the end of the week. I'm thinking they need to move that wall from the Rio Grande to the Red River.

Rain just stopped. 45° and dropping to low 20's tonight. There will be flurries in N. GA. I can't complain too much, cause I'm from Jersey.
20 degrees when I went out this morning. My car doors were frozen shut. WTH! We get extreme hot, then cold.
Hahahahaha!!! Current temperature: 27*. It stopped snowing (for the moment), but by this time tomorrow, we'll have 6-10" (probably 10+.They don't call this region "the snow belt" for nothing. We get a weather phenomena here called "lake effect", where the arctic jet stream dips, and picks up moisture from Lake Ontario - which almost never freezes completely - and dumps it on us. Parts of the Tug Hill Plateau get 200+ inches per year. "...But it's soooo pretty!..." Gimme a f***ing break!
I was raised in Western NY. You can keep it! I got stuck in a snowstorm at Ft Drum a few years ago, and another airport someplace upstate NY. I had to find a hangar to put a 757 in to melt the snow off. It wouldn't bother me to never see it again.
I was salmon fishing in Pulaski one September and saw some houses with doors on their second floors, with no stairs or balconies and asked someone why. They said, "Sometimes you can't get out the first floor, so you have to jump out the second floor onto a drift."Hahahahaha!!! Current temperature: 27*.

Yeah, looking for property on our honeymoon in Maine many years ago, we were surprised at the amount of homes with ladders attached to the building sides going up to the second floor. The missus, with mixed Mediterranean ancestry and a penchant for warm beaches, asked a realtor from the Farmington area how cold it got. "Oh, about 40." he said. "40? That's not too bad." she replied. "40 below." he clarified.........
I used to work in Bangor often. I remember I was supposed to go home, but diverted to Bangor due AOG aircraft. That was the coldest I ever was. It was -27F with 7 knots of wind. Me working outside in a leather jacket and a fedora. I won't likely ever forget that. I've been out in colder temperatures, but Maine has a special kind of extreme damp cold.
Cold here too..we wont get above 40 all week...last month we hit a record high of 100* and this month we have hit a record low of 23*..
65 and sunny today...riding day ahead
We went to Warrensburgh, NY to go xc-skiing in the mountains near there, and stayed at a Super 8. Overnight it dropped to 35 below. As soon as the sun came up the temp went up to around 2 degrees. Six of us who were staying at the motel marched to Napa Auto Parts to buy batteries. Ever since, whenever I buy a battery, I always get the highest cold cranking amps available.
I feel your pain...I had to replace the points cam, too.

Hey, I have that same impact wrench! Bought it in 1970.
Oh, and today it's 44°F and crappy. Might rain, might not. Who cares, I'm leaving for Key West tomorrow. It's my birthday present from my wife! Yeah, I'll let her come with me. "Toes in the water, ass in the sand,... cold beer in my hand!"

took advantage of another 65°f sunny day and went into Canyonlands National Park
Happy birthday! Enjoy Key West! Yeah, good old Craftsman impact driver. Broke my heart when my '67 Beetle got stolen with a whole craftsman box of tools in the trunk. Now, I just carry some junky tools in the cars.

Long as you aren't rubbing it in...
This is about as close as I get to fall colors here!
Gee, that's lovely... I didn't realize how nice it can be in Az., Partly due to what my boss once told me. His daughter moved there when she got married and everyone in their neighborhood had chickens, because chickens would eat the scorpions.This mornings sunrise in Surprise. 52 degrees and I was out walking the dog.
