Anything under 70 deg is too damn cold..........

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 2* earlier, up to 4* now. Suns up but left its BTU's behind.

BTUs........British Thermal Units..
Didn't We trade them some destroyers and Lend-Lease stuff back in WWII for those?

Seriously though, my weather station says it ONLY got down to 12* here, last night.

-19 would be a DEFCON 2..........Any colder and we will need to light off some nukes to warm the place up again.

Possibly part of the problem. We didn't get the BTU's. I think some idiot in DC forgave the debt.

Good luck Don. I for one would do like we do out at the farm. Go out to the shop, light the fires and come back in the house until the stove had a chance to have a good effect.

Going to have to take off myself. Have some more "cold" wx work at the farm to take care of. Mom and Dad have been "grounded" to the inside of the house.

Back from the farm, again.

Duck pond is frozen over solid with not much chance of breaking the ice up until it warms up. This is getting really serious if I can't duck hunt!

I hope you took a couple Pics of the snow plow Dave. Be interesting to see how he ended up off the road.

Howdy everyone. Quite a bit of excitement around Corvallis the last few days. Got down to about 1 degree last night. The roads/streets here aren't too bad.

I hated plowing snow with the state trucks. I was forever pulling them out of ditches with my chain.
For some reason they think a plow truck is a tank!

That's why I always pulled them out.
One, they would have been written up. Two, I usually had to sit there until another truck came to replace the other State "supervisor"
