It's suppose to hit here today. I was outside working in my T-shirt yesterday, and all my outdoor plants are budding - could get interesting. I doubt we'll see -22 here, I hope.

Its hitting us tonight. T-shirts and shorts Wed., yesterday, and today. At least you guys took the brunt off of it for us. 70's yesterday and today, low 40's and 30's the next several days. This area of the country would just about shut down if we ever hit negative numbers. I can't even begin to imagine what that cold feels like.

I wear shorts unless it gets below -20 deg F., wind chill doesn't count. Then again, I'm only outside for 5 minutes or less usually. Rangers have amazing heaters but that doesn't account for my strangeness. I get a lot of comments about it, even from people I don't know. I ride my motorcycle in shorts too, but only if it's above +40 deg F., I guess wind chill kicks in at 45mph or so.

Don't try this at home.

I personally don't like the cold weather, it's not as cold here but cold to us considering we just had 60's the other day, now it's 4 with the windchill, I'm getting ready for the conditions in Wisconsin....haha, and my truck ain't going to like my idear of moving, but it don't have a say.

I get to remove a engine this weekend if the weather permits, now if it's cold, it doesn't matter, just as long as we can get it pulled is all that matters.

Just a few days ago, we broke temp records. It was around 75º.

Now there is a somewhat kinda maybe slight distinct possibility it may snow here.

Wonder if I should get a snowplow for my truck .

And I thought TN swung wildly...

70 just a day ago, down in the forties now, and going to snow again they say - so likely 20 or so soon.

It isn't the outright "Brrr!" that gets you, it's the up and down thing that causes colds and sniffles.
