I see photos of blizzards and people in Chicago having to hold ropes so they don't get blown down the icy streets and my brain just shuts off. There shouldn't be a -40 on the scale, that's just wrong.Jeff Heberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732306951663286466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20794947.post-1140592020340207432006-02-22T01:07:00.000-06:002006-02-22T01:07:00.000-06:00ROFLMA :-DThanks for the perspective Jeff, up here...ROFLMA :-D<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the perspective Jeff, up here in The Great White North you're describing spring, only we have had a super mild winter except for the odd cold snap. So we got kind of spoiled and this past week was bitter rather than brisk (at -40 or so).<BR/><BR/>Actually most of our "winter" hasn't been much harsher than what you had, and around here it would be cause for wearing of shorts and t-shirts. Well almost ;-) Actually I have a cousin who would often wear shorts with no complaints at anything over freezing. We all thought he was a bit odd though :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20794947.post-1140389923545820422006-02-19T16:58:00.000-06:002006-02-19T16:58:00.000-06:00We are doing what every good Texan does when it ge...We are doing what every good Texan does when it gets cold. Eatin' leftovers and watching WWII movies. <BR/><BR/>Frankly, I'm glad to have the day off.The Cow Whispererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485716501046446056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20794947.post-1140337995091790482006-02-19T02:33:00.000-06:002006-02-19T02:33:00.000-06:00Another opportunity to burn logs in the fireplace ...Another opportunity to burn logs in the fireplace without having to run the AC. Our redbud trees were breaking out into bloom not to mention the dandelions that have gotten to be almost 3ft tall - I hope it freezes them back to the ground.<BR/>Don't know if we're getting as cold as expected but I put a warming light out in the wellhouse just in case.<BR/>At least the rain stopped so we won't be getting any icy stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
