Yep, on Maria's car. I was going to do the truck yesterday, but we decided that it would be wisest to make a dash for Taos (food shopping) before the storm started closing in.

It's 20 degrees but a big storm is supposed to be coming and expected to hit tonight. Blizzard or megastorm warnings in 9 states with 2 feet of snow expected to fall in Chicago. We'll see possibly by this evening what is in store for Michigan.

It was a bit colder this morning than the weather channel anticipated: It was around -2F, about 8" of the white stuff on the ground so far. Just warm enough to be relatively comfortable on the tractor (only cold fingers). It's plowed, and we moved one vehicle to the front, given that there's more snow in the forecast. Now if we can get heavy snow to stay away from here in the next day, we'll be in excellent shape.

It was -3˚ around 4 am and I went back to sleep. A friends said it was -6˚ when he looked at his thermometer sometime this morning. It's 3.4˚ now and supposed to be -12˚ tomorrow morning. I get some evil pleasure out of seeing it should be -29˚ in Angel Fire tomorrow morning—happy times Lynn.

Central Texas is supposed to be "moderate". 16F at 6:00 this am. In the 30's all day!! For us, that's just miserable stay indoors weather.

In 1989 I lost 17,000 citrus trees in the lower Rio Grande Valley here in Texas. Once in a hundred years they said about that freeze. Tonight they are forecasting a freeze similar, if not worse. So, I have seen two of those hundred year freezes....I am feeling quite old this evening. (Yes, I replanted all 17,000 trees.)

Freezing here now in Ajo with the wind chill. Our potable hose froze-up last night. Hey, we're on the deep desert, what's going on?

Was putting my new counter tops on Maude this afternoon and had to turn the AC on. We have had the windows open in the house since Sunday.
Florida ain't to shabby. Come on down if it is cool where you are.
Warmest Regards,
Joe

13 degrees now and going down to 0 tonight. Last night and today we had up to 9 inches of snow and drifting snow with wind gusts of 40mph or more, low visibility and then whiteout conditions. At 3 in the morning I was awaken by snow thunder that I did not even know existed and was relieved to discover it does exist and was heard twice by others in the area during the night. Freaky.

8F today's high, quite windy, plus 8" of snow.
I think I shovelled the exact same snow about 3-4 times!

I realize that this is not cold for you in the frozen tundra, but for a Southern California boy who came to the desert for warmth, it is cold. Blythe, CA - High in the low 50's with a strong northeast wind, low tonight of 27, high tomorrow of 53, hopefully 70's by Friday.

That's what happens when you run away from home Mike. We talked to friends in Tucson today and they go to 38 with a forecast low of 26. Up in Washington we saw 43 and now at 10PM it's 38. You better start heading north ol buddy.
Cheers, Dan

I was lowering the shell back onto the frame today, notching out some c channel when I stopped to take in the birds chirping, and realized how comfortable I was in my t shirt. It was a good day today. Love the mid 60's calm weather and sunny skies. Should I keep going?
