It was -2 degrees in my back yard this morning.

[In_The_Wind]

What did you wake up to?

[handmade34]

1. -17

inside of my back room door... about an inch of frost on the window

3. After finding ice on the inside of the window last year we covered 'em

with Frost-King plastic. I would really like to have the windows and doors replaced this summer if I can work out the finances without giving myself more gray hair.

35. We replaced every window in our house.

It wasn't cheap but we cut our oil usage by more than 1/3. It wound up paying for itself during some of the expensive oil years.

But I hear you on the gray hair, I hate spending that kind of money.

[HappyMe]

2. It's a balmy 3 degrees right now.

[In_The_Wind]

4. It's gonna be wicked tonight.

[HappyMe]

5. Yes it will be.

We were going to go see 50 Shades, but we are going to stay home and snuggle up.




They are predicting category 2 hurricane force winds for the Cape and Long Island. Anybody on the coast is going to get hammered bad.

[In_The_Wind]

6. Staying home tonight sounds like the perfect choice.

My best friend (from 1972 ) lives out in Long Island. I feel sorry for her when she walks her poodle this weekend.

[HappyMe]

7. I think the poodle will have

to be satisfied with a walk about 5 feet from the door.

[In_The_Wind]

29. You are 100% correct.

She isn't going anywhere!

[Aristus]

8. A calm, cool morning.

And for some reason, a really sore shoulder.

I'm trying to remember if there was some way I could have strained it yesterday at work. We were horrendously busy.

[In_The_Wind]

11. Maybe you leaned on it the wrong way watching TV last night.

[Aristus]

12. Could be.

It's a little better now with some acetaminophen.

[redwitch]

9. 25-50 below wind chill expected tonight.

I have never experienced that before, should be very unpleasant.

[In_The_Wind]

10. That kind of cold scares me. Can you stay inside?

[redwitch]

24. Oh hell yeah!

I am going to venture out to the store in an hour or so to buy the V-Day dinner ingredients. And to the liquor store for some prosecco. Then I will stoke the wood stove and stay put. We put food out for the birds, squirrels and bunnies. We leave the barn door open so any critters can have shelter. And we snuggle up and wait for the worst to pass.

[narnian60]

27. Thank you

for your kindness.

[redwitch]

37. You are welcome!

We have to look out for each other, large and small, furry, feathered and all.

My heart goes out to the defenseless ones, I don't know how the wild creatures get by in this kind of winter so I help where and when I can.

I would bring them all inside if I could! And wouldn't that be amazing- snuggled up with the bunnies and birds by the wood stove.

13. I used to have a big thermometer on a tree in my back yard

so I could see them temp through the frosty window. It blew down in a storm years ago. I decided to not replace it. I don't want to know.

Last Friday, when I was waiting for the taxi, it felt positively balmy standing in the bright sun and protected from any wind by the snow piled by the driveway. I found out from the taxi driver it was 7 below when he left to pick me up. Pretty sad state of affairs when 7 below feels balmy

[In_The_Wind]

16. The sun always feels nice!

I had one of those at the old house. Maybe I'll get around to rehanging it this year.

It's up to 15 degrees now.

Thinking warm thoughts for all of you suffering through chills.

[In_The_Wind]

In about two months.

[PasadenaTrudy]

I love L.A.!

[In_The_Wind]

21. How did I get stuck here in the northeast?

IMO: You are one very lucky lady.

[PasadenaTrudy]

25. I was born here..

So there's that. Really though, it shouldn't be this warm, it should be rainy and "cold."

[oldandhappy]

22. Warm and sunny in southern CA!

Supposed to be 88 degrees in San Marcos today.

[In_The_Wind]

I'll just wait it out. And then snow blow yet again for the umpteenth time.

[In_The_Wind]

31. There's a rumor about another storm next week ~ Octavia.

[NutmegYankee]

32. I don't even want to think about that.

[In_The_Wind]

33. I've been watching the snow fall all day. Enough already!

I want to go back to work but I'm not until the roads are dry.





I am so glad I wasn't driving this escort job!

[Aristus]

38. 55 and mostly sunny

we're supposed to be getting snow tomorrow night into monday, but it's not supposed to get too cold.

[Blue_In_AK]

39. We're in Fairbanks

and it was -10 last night, which is a considerable warmup from last week when it was -44. Today it's even warmer, 13, and will continue to warm up while we're here. I'm so glad because -44 was a bit beyond my comfort zone.

[kentauros]

40. Kelvin?

[In_The_Wind]
