-21 degrees and falling here in my corner of the Redoubt. Tomorrow morning forecast for a body numbing -39 ! (oh that’ll make your face hurt). Hot fire in the stove helping the furnace immensely.

Stay safe - that's COLD...In Jack London's short story 'To Build a Fire' he mentions at -75 spit turns to ice before it hits the ground. Not sure about -39...

“To Build a Fire” still sticks in my memory 60 some ought years after I read it. Yep, got great respect for the cold and definitely dress for it.
Meanwhile, tossing another log in the fire. . . . .
