1977 wife and I got married on January 15th that year very cold everywhere this is approaching that. The cold coming the end of this week will be brutal in terms of wind chill. The low will bomb out off NC coast and ride up the coast giving some blizzard conditions

5 going to 31. They've even upped our chance of snow to 50% and we're west of I-95.

My wife is heading back down to her parents today in eastern NC, in the middle of the forecasted snow. Drew, want me to send a couple of snow shovels and sleds with her?

Woke up at midnight and saw 7 deer eating clover behind the house in the moonlight :). First deer I've seen in a while.

I had more firewood to start the season than ever, but it is disappearing fast. Got a few more small logs to cut today, and sharpen a couple of chains...I got a new chain saw sharpener for Christmas, and actually enjoyed using it the first time the other day. This is the first year I haven't bought any new chains, but I do need a new bar. When it is this cold it seems as you can almost slice the bar oil as you try to pour it. I've got some splitting to do, too, but wouldn't even think of trying to wake up my B&S when it is this cold.

Riptides, good to hear the progress report.

Just heard on the news that the Powerball and Megamillions are over $400MM. My wife won $20 on a Christmas scratch ticket...that's a jackpot for us. I may buy a ticket when I go to the gym today...anybody want part of the $400 million after I win? A few years ago when the jackpot got this big, just for fun, I asked my sister, how much I would need to give her to satisfy her if I won...she didn't hesitate to tell me $12 million. I though maybe I was getting off pretty cheaply.

Chicken is better for you
Wife has been feeding me the " better for me" stuff. I get one kitchen pass, i hope.

Although, i have pretty much stopped eating at 5 guys, because of the cost. It has gotten outrageous.

That’s when the Chesapeake froze and shut down shipping. It dropped from 50’s and rain at midnight to-5 at daybreak, wind blew water half way up my wheels and froze it there. We had something like 56 days never above freezing. Nothing would start, city water froze, couldn’t hire a plumber or welder. My 41 year old son was a baby. Scientists were saying it was the start of a great ice age, same guys yelling global warming lately.

3 right now, thankfully no wind chill, don’t need it at 3 degrees!

Looks like I’m now on border of 2-5/5-8” now. I freaking hate it!

We have stayed below freezing for over 2 weeks now.

Drew you might win out in snow department winner winner chicken dinner

Ha. And it might be a rubber chicken too....

At first light headed down to barn to get a magnetic heater I use on the tractors and put it on my gen. If we get the ice they say we will, I'm going to lose power for sure
and my gen does not like starting in cold weather. This is when I wish I had bought the cold kit, but too late now.

I would not want to be on a cruise ship headed out of Bayonne NJ to the Caribbean right now. Will be fun to monitor offshore wave height on this one, could be a doozy.
