That's an offer I would not pass up!! Thanks Scott!!!! John

Were suppose to get the snow tonite but we gut big rain I woke up to four inches in my basement at 3:30amdue to pump fail.Only co$t me a day$ pay and a pump.Ya know you can't buy a fractional HP pump made in the USA

Just finished rd.3 of shovel duty.. Looks like we got 6-8in so far and still snowing.. Checked the weather again and now they are saying 1-2in total!! WHAT???? John

Went out this morning and ran the snow blower on the inch or so we got and just about froze my asstritus off. This single digit stuff sucks.

We were suppose to get 6 to 12 inches a couple days ago and got a dusting. That was suppose to be followed by COLD. Sure wish we'd have gotten the snow and they could have been wrong about the COLD, but no. They just had to get that part right. Still looking at below zero tonight. ___Dave

Y'all get a grip on that stuff, hold on and don't let it slide south! Was in the 60s here today, sunny with light southerly breeze. Glorious day for workin outside! :

I love that 60 degree stuff. That's what we have on most of our summer days. I don't mind down to 30 or so, but the 20 below stuff is starting to get on my nerves, and in my joints.___Dave

Sitting inside .
It 47.8 C ( 118 F ) outside.
That would melt your snow.

Finally nothing falling out of the sky!! And saw a peek of an orange thing shine too?? 42 today.. 48 tomorrow.. John

34 today and partly sunny. Rain moving in Friday but in the 40's

Almost up to 20 today with snow. Sunday is suppose to dip to minus 20 again.___Dave

The roller coaster ride continues.. 55 sunny today.. Cold front moving in the by Monday the high will be 15.. Hang on!!! John

Hasn't been much of a Winter here in the Mid-Atlantic area, most of the local ski resorts finally opened a few trails last Thursday. Great weather for people who don't like Winter, but I do. Total opposite of last year so far.

I have been to Phoenix Arizona twice, exactly 40 years apart. First time July 4th 1964. Second time July 4th 2004. Both times it was 117º. Grant that will not only melt your snow, that will melt your face off. Dry heat my great-aunty Bertha's bloomers........ It's like taking the cake out of the oven and sticking your head in.

41 rain.. Temps are dropping into singles by Sunday night.. Then cold all next week.. No snow called for so far!! John

We're going below zero tonight, where we'll stay until Monday. They're calling for snow on Wednesday. Blah, but that's January in The Great Midwest.

We are at 6 below at 4 o-clock and heading for -20 or lower tonight, with some wind. The wind chill tonight will probably be somewhere around -35. Not a night to go for a walk and would be a really lousy time for car trouble or furnace trouble. ___Dave We got down to 23 below but didn't get all the wind they promised. Car started fine after growling a little. Beautiful sunny day. Dave

Calling for 1-2 FEET on Fri-Sat at the end of the week!! I do hope they aint right!!! John

....snow flurries this morning!!.....hi today-low 30's, low tonight-18!!...time to break out the long john's and "Jacque danyel"!!................... ..................

It's a balmy 21 degrees in Birmingham this morning.

.........same here, Charlie!!!!.............. .............................

1 pm in the afternoon and the thermometer has staggered up to 11 degrees probably because of the bright sunshine on a nearly cloudless day. The temps have been near zero all week and finally the wind has abated somewhat. Amazingly enough there has been nearly zero snow this year;although the last covering(about 2 inches)has left the driveway a skating rink. Even my Jack Russell doesn't like staying out more than a couple of minutes and that is with his sheepskin jacket on.Tried putting boots on him as his feet are really susceptible to the cold but he wasn't having any of that.
Although the shop is fairly warm(still haven't turned up the heaters to high)the floor is really frigid. If I put down a rug where I'm working it helps immensely.
EDIT: Just came back in after letting Buddy make sure no interlopers had infringed on his territory;marking all the usual spots and re-cycling some food. The trucks going by all have their radiator covers almost completely closed so you know it is still cold.Even though it is cold it still feels good to breathe in the frigid air. I can always tell when it is REALLY cold when I walk from my back door to my shop(about 40 feet)and my nostril hairs freeze before I get there.
Sorry for the rant;it just feels good to be alive today.
