I had the woodstove and the fireplace going as well as the furnace last night, too.

This is the second year in a row it has been this cold this early in the season here-I'm hoping it will also warm up a bit in later winter like last year.

Thank the good Lord you and yours are safe, Grimmy!

Did it go all the way to Minnesota? I'll have to call my sis. They are self-sufficient, too.

As long as the sun keeps shining, I can handle the cold........but it was so wet last winter that it seemed like it was dark for months, which only madeit that mcuh worse.

Safe? Yes, thankfully I have never resided that far north.
It's 35 here in Houston this morning, and folks are whining like stuck pigs. :-|

You certainly have that right-you have to wonder if people like that aren't lacking the most basic survival skills.

I've got the car warming up and I finally found my gloves and hat, so I'm off to see a customer-back later...

There have been studies done on that. I can't give you a link because I can't remember who wrote it, I think it was the JAMA. But you should keep lights on in the house later at night and earlier in the morning. It keeps you on a regular schedule.

You have the same temperature we do! We're all complaining because it's our second growing season. All new plants are covered.

Last night it was Sleet, freezing rain, 24 degrees.

This morning it is about 20 degrees but at least the precip is gone. Roads were pretty much clear for my drive in to work this morning.

I don't know if I'd drink anything that was named "Buffalo Trace." Sounds like something that comes out of a buffalo's body.

this story really has me ticked off.....

Spirit of the season survives despite vicious, senseless vandalism

i can't believe someone could be so despicable to destroy Christmas light displays.

The guy that wrote the column is the morning talk show host I listen to and he just said he's going to have the homeowner on his show in the 10am hour.

It's been quite a few years, but I used to really enjoying driving up to see this guy's annual light display.
