I got a tractor with a drill and a bucket so setting the posts would be a snap.
Let me know when and we will do it. Preferably not before it warms up though :wink:

It was -5 here this morning with a -20 wind chill factor.

I don't mind some cold but humans just ain't calibrated for this. Especially non-Yankee humans.

It was 7F with a -5F wind chill in Raleigh, NC this morning. I heard on the radio that 100+ record temperatures were set across the country this morning/yesterday.

With the baby being so new, we thought it would be a good idea to turn the heat on for a little while last night.

This winter has been rough... both days of it
