I'm glad I'm inside where it's toasty warm, because my weather app says it's 20 but only feels like 10 degrees. I had no idea. I'm getting ready to go to bed and hopefully sleep all day. Maybe it will be warmer Thursday when I have to go out.

28 with freezing fog this morning.  Ice on fences, power lines, trees, etc.  It is supposed to melt soon....I hope the forecast is right.

18 degrees this morning and 28 now (1500 hours)
The time for action is upon us and the enemy is at our gates. Let us not allow them one more inch of advancement but instead throw them through the gates of Hell.

Well that's really cold.  I guess you have moved out of Florida?

Single digits now. It's 8 degrees and feels like 8 degrees. Actually it feels like 68 degrees to me. ;)

Here in Western North Carolina we woke up to 28 degrees.  Not too bad, but my antique fuel oil boiler gave up the ghost a couple of weeks ago and we are depending on a couple of mini-splits to keep us warm. They aren't doing a bad job and get the bedroom up to 72 in no time at all.  We run a fire in the fireplace during the evening so we stay comfortable.

Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”  Chris Kyle

The fireplace is a good thing to have.  I have a wood stove in the house but too much stuff stored around it right now to fire it up.  Single digits like Frank has...HELL NO...I ain't wanting that.

For the last 5 days or so we haven't been below 26 but we only have 4-6 hours above freezing during the day.  Which is burdensome to say the least when you have outdoor chores.  I had to put heaters in all of the water troughs....early by a month.
