The next few days will be interesting for sure. We're losing trees left and right due to the ice. Haven't lost power thank god. I spent last week on the north slope of Alaska. That was freaking cold! This definitely sucks though.
A winter storm is coming!

I know that some of you have it much colder than me (sorry about that) and probably aren't sympathetic to the temperatures that I noted, but... My point was that there is a winter storm here for the next few days that is bringing temperatures of 30 to 40 degrees BELOW NORMAL, and it is probably headed your way if you leave east or northeast of me.
You bet. Its cold here. High of 64.
I can send you a load of shit instead of snow. I know a few farmers that have left overs. I'll be sure to check for wind direction before I have them drop if off. Wouldn't want you to miss out on the smell of money!Everybody please stay safe and warm and KEEP THAT SHIT UP THERE!
Its that or snow! 
Would you share what the weather was like there?
Business or pleasure if you're interested in elaborating.
Business. We calibrate all things torque as it applies to the oilfield, whether its on the rig itself or shops' torque machines that build tools that drill the well. Hopefully the current administration keeps us employed.
Even more odd, to me anyways, was the most helpful guy I met up there was a damned Kiwi that drives a fuel altered.

We got almost a foot of that white crap today with more expected before it melts and is currently 30 degrees right now but luckily I'm on a stay cation this next week for r and r and quality time with my cars and my better half. We don't get snow like this very often.
I feel for the people down south, most water lines in those houses aren't protected against freezing.
Not me.
No , not very old then. But in 1957 we had major snow ,living on farm we had drifts as high as barn roof and power lines down all over. We was without electricity for over a month.
I always remember the snow being really deep when I was a kid, maybe I was shorter back then. 
and bernie gloves!
No gloves here Bob.......
........my neighbor is going to help........
Your right James, the frost line here in St Louis is either 30 or 32" but if you go down to the Mo-AR border its only 10". My uncle was an architect and had a book that had a map of the country and listed all the frost lines, I couldn't believe that going only 150 or so miles south the frost line came up that much. So all those people down below the border have their pipes buried very shallow, could be trouble!
