well the last couple days here in Pa we have had a cold snap, wind chills into the -20 belows, the kids have had off the past two days.. I was sitting here yesterday afternoon, and i hear "WHIRRRR-Click"... didnt think nothing of it.. couple minutes later hear it again.. ok i go and investigate.. yep, coldest day of the year and the furnace motor goes kablewy.. its 3 in the afternoon, only place that has one closes at 5 and is 15 miles away on the enge of the city (traffic)... needless to say it was back together and running at 6 pm, and didnt stop running until 8 pm last night to get the temp back up to 69 in the house! so how was your dayy!!

Let's see now...Farrier came out to shoe one horse and trim the other. Have 2 inches of snow on the ground and a steep hill to climb to get to the barn. Now I just went up there with my Chevy 4X4 with no problem. The farrier, on the other hand, slid off the edge and down an imbankment. I had to drive up there and tow him out...Next time he'll buy American...Needless to say I didn't get the horses taken care of. Have to wait a couple of days so he can climb the hill. I did, however, get my CCW issued today. Lookout...I'm armed (as if I wasn't to begin with)...

NEXT...

haha yeah now your just legeal...

As far as I was concerned, by The Constitution, I was legal all the time...It's the individual states that are confused.

Getting towards the tailend of our cold snap. The 25 below nights with the 30 MPH winds and minus 50 wind chills look to be over for awhile. Only 0-5 below last few nights. Love these warms spells.--tr

Know what you mean...L O L...It was 18 degrees this morning when I went to feed the horses. Now it is 60 degrees and I have all the windows open airing out the house...L O L...Really I DO sympathize with you...Been there a time or two...

I'm sure thery're some of our northern neighbors that have had colder temps. and such. It can be an inconvience sometimes. At least were not have tornadoes, fires, and floods. Allittle colds OK!--tr

I hear ya...I picked a place in Missouri that indicated that the tornados either went east of me or west of me. It seems that the hilly part of the Ozarks is just too rough for them to set down....I hope. Been wrong before.

My sister & her hubby (from MINN.) are arriving in AZ on Friday. I know they are going to appreciate some nice warm days and nights.

Although, according to them and other family in MN, this winter has been pretty good so far, except for last week and this week of course.

Believe it or not in the next 3-5 years my wife and I plan to get out of the big city, out of AZ and up into cold country like MT, WY, ID, SD, MN, and find us an old farm or ranch and retire there.

We have been having a little bit of cold weather up here as well its -7.6F (-22C) with the wind, going to be about the same for the next few days, was colder yesterday though at -16.6F (-27C) yesterday with the wind when I walked to my college

Gawd I love this weather.

We've been in a major "cold snap" for a month now. Luckily it seems to be warming up a bit.

Weather hasn't been too bad here....we been averaging 30C - 33C (86F - 91F) for the past couple of months. A hot day can get to around 43C - 45C (110F - 113F). Thanks God for the beach. Looking forward to Winter and a bit of cold weather....probably average about 18C (64F).

The downside to our Summer is the drought we are suffering. Our water supply is below 25% and not looking good right now, althou the parts of our state that are in the tropics are having cyclones and flooding.

Global warming....El Nino....whichever, but it ain't doin' us an favours.

I moved to where I am in 1971 from NH, after the winter/blizzard of 69. So yeh, I know about 100 inches of snow in a single fall and -30 F, it sucks. As far as I am concerned, owning a snow shovel is not in the cards, ever again.

Sunday it was 41 F when I left the house at 6:30 AM, when I left the bird field at 5:30 PM it was 57 F. I love it. This time of the year it gets down into the high 30s and around noon it is 60 or so. I am in north Florida, rolling hills, hardwoods, about 45 miles from Alabama.
