Yipe, here too! I have my heater out, wearing long pants, cause temp are dropping in the low 70s at night with forecasts in the high 60s! They will be closing our freeways down soon!

So do you guys want to talk about cold? I can't get my heated shop warm enough to glass in. Been that way for a week and forecast to be that way for at least the next week :cry:

I don't know if our winters get as cold as your summers!

Ken I think your winters are as a whole warmer than our summers. But most years I can live with that.
Dan I am pretty sure the who is colder contest is not one that is good to win. I do know for both of us winter sure slows both of our building. I guess the folks down south have a like problem in the summer.

I get more work done on the boat in winter. Just that its outside slows me down, but lotsa inside work.

You guys generally have longer winters. You are 15 degrees firther north, so I won't be you overall on the cold, but every now n then we see minus 20s. Those days I hate because shit like car doors break in your hands.

Well, we have steering. Not sure if the autopilot is working. Might need to be air bled. But we have steering.
