Yep....gotta love these Texas winters. Sunny, clear and 74 with a nice gentle breeze. Of course, next week it will probably be down in the 20's.

Just checked the weather here. It's -22C with a -35C windchill (-31F). Big dump of snow last night. 4X4 is a necessity. But it's sunny. You enjoy that nice Friday afternoon now.

Well, if it doesn't make it to the 20s for you Hoss, let me know and I'll bring some cold back with me.

I get to spend next week in balmy Madison, WI. Current forecast for next week looks like 20s and 30s, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes to make me welcome

well the high here today was -23 deg celsuis. But you know it is sick when it's -10 and you roll down your windows cause you think it is warm. Not to mention the truck sounds awesome in the cold.

AggieJustin, just go ahead and leave that cold stuff up there. I've had my fill of the cold weather for this season. These spring temperatures are just fine with me.

It's 5 above here. Air is crisp....pure. Breath deeply. Man! It's invigorating. The snow is so dry it squeaks when you walk on it, and it sparkles like glitter. Put on the Tubbs and go out fill the bird feeders. Ones that normally need a ladder to reach are now easily accessable in the 2+ feet of powder in the back yard. Expecting another 12" of fluff tomorrow night. Better get a few more bags of pellets for the stove. Nothing like cuddlin' by the fire and watching the snow fall. Sunday'll be time for more driveway fun on the tractor. Afterwards, maybe go out on the ice on and see if we can bring home dinner. To me, this is way winter's supposed to be. Don't feel sorry. I wouldn't have it any other way. Geez, I love Taxa....er....Massachusetts!

You guys gotta get better jobs I only work Fridays every third week. It's tough working 10 days a month.

The high today was 32, and we have a "wintery mix" comming tomorrow. I gotta work too

Oh yea, on topic, snow and ice with sleet called for this weekend. Then, back to the regular 20-40 days. (Grass is still kinda green in the front yard)
