For the last two days all I did was shovel snow. Yesterday I shoveled snow in -11 temps.

Geez. Bring the pets in!!!   You need me to send you some cold-weather gear?

FYI was 33F here in Anchorage yesterday, had to break out the shorts and t-shirts.

I was wondering who sent down the cold weather.

Holy crap, do you live on the moon?
We have been around 10 all day. meh. It's winter. Big problem was that it rained all day yesterday on top of the snow we got last week which it had stage so cold had not gonna from the roads yet. Travel was not real pleasant once I managed to get the door on my Jeep open and then finally closed again thanks to wet mechanism. And not in a good way.....

At least I am dealing with the cold better than my girlfriend who grew up in the desert, I still had the cold in my blood when we moved here.

Peek cold here in the great white north in the past 3 weeks....

-51*C   or for those of you to the warm south.... -59.8*F   Now that's with the windchill included, but still... It's COLD!  :bolt:

And those who don't understand laugh at walking backwards into the wind at these temperatures....
