Prince Hal - it is supposed to warm up later this week, which will be nice. Again, it's winter, I live in the mid-Atlantic, we get cold. This is expected and we just have to deal with it.

It's warmly up nicely in Iowa.
Currently 14 with a high tomorrow of 34.
That's pretty good for an Iowa winter.
I read a few days ago they were predicted, with the wind chill, -100 F for Delaware.
That will freeze your eye lashes off.
I've seen -70 F with the wind chill and couldn't believe it.
I saw cars slow and stop on the interstate cause it was too cold for the engines to continue.
For real.
I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it for myself.

Still very cold up here in the northeast, and since my neighbour asked me to take care of his chicken roost for the weekend I’m a little worried. He’s well equiped to keep them warm, but I’m a little paranoid.
Say, was that a fox I just saw?

It's hovering around freezing here in southern England at the moment, dipping down to -1 or -2℃ at night. Nothing compared to what eastern parts of the U.S. are experiencing.

I've been sick as a dog since Friday and the temps are not helping. This morning it was 6 degrees. It's supposed to shoot up past freezing starting Monday.

Get better Icctrombone
Here's what I do if that happens.
Get in a warm tub then turn on the hot water to get it as hot as possible.
Soak until I'm falling asleep.
Get out and medicate.
Go to sleep until I wake with no interruptions
I'm usually better in a day.

In my area and living close to the water and all that ... my worst weather months in good ole Seattle is November and December of which November is the worst of the worst. I have winds around 25-35 mph and I've averaged around 3-5 outages a month and sometimes I get power out 2-3 times in one day and that's happens once every other year. I hate winds here and I just can't drive when I get around 2 inches of snow. Last Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we were stuck in Issaquah WA and spent overnight at my niece's place and that's turn out a Christmas that I've never forget. It's a rare thing to have snow on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Right now, it's 44 degrees and usually January is a tricky month to deal with weather around here and it's not a given around here. It's unpredictability that really bothers me in January/February that's weather can be nuts one day to another. One example is one day I can have nearly an inch of rain and it's so bad that driving can be a difficult thing to do - it's really rains Mountain Lions and German Shepherds here in good ole Seattle! Driving is like a bit of Hydroplaning and that's why I'm stuck at home on those rainy days. Those days usually occurs in January/February and that's can be a problem.
I just can't wait for March/April rolls along and looking forward for Spring!
All those members are chilling out at temperatures around 6 degree and under and things of that nature ... I've wanted to say this ... all of you are real troopers getting from Point A to Point B and all that. Anyway, the older you get you gotta to pay close attention to the weather so that you can plan your shopping trips and seeing friends and family.
And, take one day at the time!
