It's in the low teens here with 12 to 14" of snow, just had the snow blower out & made a path around the house for the dogs & to get snow weight off some schrubs. Still snowing & we still have Lake Effect Warnings but I had enough I,m sending it East before it runs out & my fellow coal burners don't get any, no need to thank me it's just the kind of guy I am.

It was around 41° here today with a wind chill. They are calling for low to mid 50* Wednesday-Friday here. This weather is crazy.

Sans for the exception of about 5 or 6 cold days (not blistering cold, just cold) we really haven't even had a winter around where I live in Ohio. The "heating degree days" are lagging by about 930 here vs. the historical norm. In a normal year December has about 1,100 heating degree days, so that's almost the equivalent of tossing the entire month of December's cold temperatures right out of the winter season. I've never seen anything like this.

Same here in Jersey. We've had some cold days. One or two of which were were below 0. But for the most parts the average has been about 40º.

As they say here in upstate NY "wait 5 minutes and the weather will change" . Earlier today it was 48* and sunny now at 4:30 it is 40* and raining and tonight we are expecting 1 to 3 inches of snow and tomorrow back to near 50*.

Last night ended up being one of the coldest nights we have had this winter...12 degrees and the wind blasted us all night. My ash tub in the EFM was overflowing this morning and made a nice mess.

I haven't even turned the circuit for the furnace on. I also still don't have the stove ready.

You know why it's gonna rain tomorrow? Because I've put off doing the barn roof for 6 years now ... and TOMORROW was the day I was supposed to start doing it.

Figures!

Hey! Don't touch that dial! It's too early for that crap, dammit!!

I hear that!

Naw Smitty,

It will not cloud up until you remove the shingles. Then it will rapidly cloud up and rain within 10 minutes after the last shingle hits the dumpster......

But if it starts raining early enough, you won't be typing tomorrow night.........
