Quick - someone call Gore - this can't be happening.

Besides the temperature in the cellar, I don't have anyplace left to put any more global warming residue...

Woke up to 1°F temp this morning, plus 15-20 MPH wind.

I feel for those of you in -30° F temps. That's dang cold anywhere.

I know it's cold here in mid-Maine but when I read this report to my brother, he said: "That's got to be the wind chill temp."

Nope: That's the real temp. Do not even want to know the wind chill factor - altho', mercifully, there isn't much wind today - I can tell by looking out over the tops of the pines in the forest...no about to go outside to test it...Throwing another log on the fire...

“I feel for those of you in -30° F temps. That’s dang cold anywhere.”

Not in Alaska, or the northern territories in Canada.

If it is that cold, he must already be there holding a global warming protest.

Al Gore is not available at this time. Has anyone else noticed that he has been strangely quiet during this period of record cold temperatures?

Ain't seen nothing yet - wait until those infamous two weeks of Feb - REALLY bitter cold and it's also the "Snow Month" or, as called by the Indians of yesteryear: the "Moon when the trees crack because of the cold." (Moon of the Snapping Trees",) and "SHOULDER TO SHOULDER AROUND THE FIRE MOON"

I just keep saying: "It's getting closer to "The Melting Moon"(April) also called - "Frog Moon".

I know winter's back is finally broken when I hear the first wood frogs 'clackering' from the nearby bog...and a couple weeks later, my favorite of all - the Spring Peepers. Nothing beats drifting off to sleep with the Peeper Symphony wafting through the window - A reminder, every spring, of "Oh yeah, this is why I live in Maine."

And from there on, each day brings another reminder - and appreciation. (Rewards for putting up with winter)
