37F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is shirtsleeve weather. We open the windows at 37F.
We have an actual -24 predicted overnight Sunday and -20 overnight Monday. It stays cold, but warms up until we are in positive territory on Thursday and nearly 30 by Friday.
We are used to it. I’ve noticed our bad winters run in threes. This is the second in a row. About ten years ago we had -35 for nearly a week, with -20 and minus teens in the daytime. Three winters ago, it was so warm in December and January, I remember telling the propane driver we really had no need for gas, since we’d barely used any.
Back in the 70s, this was pretty much average winter weather. I really miss the warm years of the 80s and 90s, though.
You gotta understand that I work outdoors with my bare hands. Can't do my sort of work any other way. When it gets around 35, your fingers go numb, working with sheet metal. We always manage to wind up doing a few jobs when it's that cold anyway, but it's a pain the you-know-what.
Don't get me wrong. We do all sorts of other stuff outside when it's in the mid thirties, but those temps make our work really painful.
