Good morning Alabama, John, Rod and Buck.. woke up to -2°C this morning.. it was on the brisk side at work last night. I may have to break out my toboggan to keep my ears warm and stop the wind from blowing through my head..

Good Saturday evening Alabama, Steve, John, Buck and all the crew.

Sadly, we started at -6.1° this morning and with the wind the chill was -10.5° (21° and 13° f) and talking to Ken in Massachusetts, I was colder than he was! However, the sun came up early a little warm and bright all day and actually made it a nice day. I wasn't out but a couple a times for 3-5 minutes to feed the cats and birds and fresh water for them.

I like keeping my ears covered and that way when the wind blows in one ear and out the other it doesn't whistle when the little pea starts swirling!

Merry Monday morning Alabama, Steve, John, Buck and all the Dixie crew.
I am thinking I may need to visit John to warm up. We started the day at 16°, a cold breeze making the windchill about Zero. This is West Virginia in December!! My woods are not this cold until February!
But the sun is out and we have reached the high of 32° and still have the cold breeze! I am pretty sure there will be nothing done outside today except refill the bird feeder and the cats bowl!

Have a great and Blessed day!

Does the forklift have a cage over it that you can rap some clear plastic on top and sides to protect you from the wind..?

Good morning Alabama, John, Rod and Buck.. another cold start to the day... it started out at -3°C this morning.. we may get some rain this evening. It has a cage but wrapping it is a pain and messes with visibility..

Happy Hump Day Alabama, Steve, John and all the crew.
16° started the day with a cold breeze and no sun today. They, the Soothsayers say we will make 45° today and after yesterdays failed prediction, I doubt we see it! Plus, the Cold breeze has increased!

John, Hope the white sheet is light in quantity and weight!

Steve, more Christmas money to be made today despite the cold. Another layer of clothes to keep you warm.
