Well everyone, please excuse me. A task has been given to me and I must comply. I’ll be away from this thread for a couple of hours. I have to go into town and have lunch at one of those charming little Mexican cantinas. You all know the kind with the private patio where you sit in the sun. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it. I prefer to sacrifice myself so the rest of you can stay home and enjoy your fireplaces. Don’t think for a moment that just because I’m wearing a tee shirt, sitting in the warm sun and drinking slushy margaritas, that I’ve forgotten all of you…I’ll be with you in sprit. As Bill Clinton said…”I feel your pain”. I’ll do my best to stay strong for all of you…pray for me.

Better enjoy it before the illegals get deported. If I could I'd come down and join you.

Good thing we don't need to go anywhere and we're stocked up
Generator is ready. Plenty of fuel. Plenty of pellets for the stove.
 
Thank goodness the pattern has shifted and the north is getting winter!! Y'all keep that stuff, we don't want it down here!!😉
The long range weather does look like the the cold has gone from East to West and it will take about two weeks for the cold to move further West. It is interesting that my two weather apps one from Microsoft and one from the Farmer's Almanac shows winter in February warmer than normal. Apparently February in my neck of the woods never got the memo about the warmer weather.
 
It easy to identify the snowbirds. While I was in town last week, I was wearing a long sleeve sweat shirt AND my heavy flight jacket. The snowbirds were walking around in flip flops, shorts and tank tops.
Yup. I use to cut gem stones and went to Tucson AZ in January and February for the world's largest gem show. The locals were wearing down coats and jackets complaining how cold it was and the temps were between 70 and 75. My friend and I were wearing T-shirts and shorts complaining how warm it was.
 
My big snow plow is now completely covered in snow. I think I know about where it is. I'll work on that tomorrow. Right now I'm going up to dig out the chimney on the fur shed. It's completely buried in snow.
 
Yippie!!!!! My lawn care guy just came by and said he can snow blow my driveway and clean off my car for a cheap price. Now I don't have to do it. Nothing like being a Ferengi with a little gold-pressed latinum to spare.
