Cold

Alls I can say is I'm not ready for winter. Just looked outside and we have a had a dusting of snow. Streets aren't slick yet. At least I don't hear any sirens anyways. This morning it was spitting snow and there were no clouds. It did look pretty falling from the sky in the morning sun. Forecasted high for my area is not over 20* ( -6.666666666666667 Celsius for you Canadians )

Went outside this afternoon and sliped on the men in plad jacket. Didn't put the hood up or button the front, but I did put it on.

Looks like I'll have to put the hood up tomorrow.

Another 10 degrees cooler and I bet you'd button up the front also.

Yup, got a little snow, but that wind was down right unbearable. I am ready for spring.

I can handle the cold but the ice on the street keeps me from riding my enduro. If it's going to snow - SNOW! Give me a foot of it (that's when the truck really shines). This dusting of snow is just making a mess of everything.

I'm sure glad I don't have to go feed cattle and hogs like I did a number of years ago. Now I just wait for the car to warm up and try to stay inside where it is warm I'm surprised Jack isn't organizing a ORV session with this weather.

Yeah he would try but I don't think any of us would go. I might go work on Jr. tommorow but I will have to turn on the heater.

Man, the shed I use isn't even close to being tight enough for a heater to do any good in this weather. LOL Hopefully it will warm up in a few days.

I still have wheelin fever enough to go in this weather! Although I think I would be eating cobler in the comfort of my toasty warm truck cab.

Looks like some weather stations are calling for up to 6 inches of snow here by Thursday. I hate the cold but love the snow!

Yes if there was some white stuff on the ground would be better then I might have to get the fourwheeler out of the shed.

Hey Tony, would you try to break through the ice on top of one of those mud holes at Tuttle if it was about 10 degrees up there. That would be fun to watch. brrrrr! lol. I wouldn't want to crawl out of a warm cab to get you on the hook when you got stuck.

Got all the blades mounted, anit-freeze checked, block heaters installed and plugged in, and a couple heater cores replaced so every thing at the shop is ready for it. Same as last year though, if it's snowin I'm plowin!! and the only time I get to sleep is from 4pm to 10pm so yall wil have to pardon my absence if the white stuff piles up more than 2" here.
