NOT GOOD!!!

This is what we woke up to this mourning!!!!   no school, no work,  its ice so cant even go build snowman with the kiddo... looks like board games today!!!

Great SHOP weather.

Cold as hell over here in Katy/Houston too. No snow, ice, yet, and hope we don't get any.

Brrrr

shoot 81 here , lets go swimming !!!

18 degrees, got and inch of sleet and ice then 3 or so inches of snow on top of that. No big deal really.

Maybe the power will stay on. ...

Sub zero this morning, and gonna be a cool one for quite a few days. I think I'm gonna go somewhere else for a week, till this blows over.

Ice here too.  Just got electricity back on a little bit ago.  Can't work at the shop due to no power.  Everything we need to do needs electricity.

Shit, it's 0 here right now. We just got 4 inches of heavy wet snow and now it's damn cold, going to be 8 below tonight. Can't complain too much, it's been good for business. They're wrecking cars right and left, we're busy as hell at the body shop.

-40 here with a foot to a foot and half here!!!

Suffering at it's best. I'm always amazed at how people act when winter comes. No one is ready, they drive like idiots who have never seen snow and complain about how cold it is. It's like this every year and people act like it's something new. I can't imagine what it would be like if we had weather like Franks

Sounds like it's time to grab a bottle or two of Crown antifreeze and work in the shop.  

Sounds like it's time to head for Florida... I can get a bottle of antifreeze when I get there...

Too damn cold.  

My house is an old pier & beam deal with a crawl space under it & the floors always feel too damn cold. Some of the so called building "experts" say either (A) close off the crawl space vents & insulate with fiberglass between the floor joists, or they say NO NO NO don't insulate or close off vents because of causing mold growth under the floor structure & in the fiberglass insulation.    


The shop it's self isn't insulated, but it's office & bathroom does have a little insulation in their walls. Pipes froze/broke in the bathroom a few years ago even though I always let the sink faucet drip when it's cold. So ever since then I have also been plugging in two lamps with 100w bulbs in the bathroom to help heat it a little during the night when it gets real cold.


It's also the first time in many years I went ahead and put the truck in the shop instead of leaving it outside over night.

Shoot, it's only -13* at our airport. -17* at my house. The high here for Sat is a balmy -4*... I hope it hangs around awhile... It sure ain't hard to tell who the people are that aren't from here...   

Brooks , Alberta set a new record as the coldest place on earth again this morning -42 , we had the record Wednesday at-39 , Dam it's cold here!!!!
