Hey, Blizzard Members. Can You Get Online?

Its 9:30 AM and its -9 deg with the wind chill, -22

It looks like the NFL playoff game Green Bay and the 49ers will be played at about -25 - this could be the coldest game in NFL history.

Foot note: Rogers the QB for Green Bay is from California, Kaepernick the QB for the 49ers is from Milwaukee.

It should be an interesting game.

Hawaii in a month, thank god.

Yea. Looks nice out there. Going to go out soon and enjoy it. The boss is heading over to the game. He is really looking forward to it. Figures it will be packed.

Yep, it is time to put on a long sleeve shirt, socks and boots. I might even wear a coat and hat. --FLO--

Yea. I'm gonna have to look around and find some gloves. I think some are in a box in the bottom of a pile in the garage. If not, I'll wait till spring when they go on sale to get some more.

Fucking snow.

I HATE snow.

We've got a foot of it now, and it shows no signs of stopping!

Power flickering, that's all right - I got a battery backup and battery operated laptop, and a cell phone.

I am not going outside today or tomorrow for nothing and nobody, the dog is on her own - clip on the lead and let her run.

And to think in a month I will be in sandals, shorts, t-shirt and straw hat to keep the sun off my head wondering if I should shut the window because its 66deg.

No I will not miss this cold, not ever.

I opened the back door of the porch and the beagle ran into at LEAST a foot of snow.

It's heavy and wet.

The road grader actually went! I could NOT believe it! I thought I was hallucinating, until I realized he'd left me a 3' tall wall of snow at the end of the drive, perfect for ripping out gas lines, brake lines, tranny lines, you name it. So I had to bust that up.

Amazingly, after a few minutes of shoveling, my pulse rate went right back down to normal. I never got out of breath, either, although the swinging did do a number on my back.

Yes, the snow is up over my boots, which are knee-high!

And it's still coming down...

However, it is 32F above, and I worked up a bit of a sweat. If that wall of snow had frozen, I'd have been stuck!

Not sure I'm going out tomorrow either.

Fuck work.

I am not sure what is worse, over a foot of snow and 32deg or no snow and -32deg. At least with the no snow I don't need to go out and shovel.

Just got back. The world is a hive of activity and there were people coming in to the coffee shop for a hot drink and cookies and some laughs. Enjoyed it out there.

Maybe your part of this frozen tundra but here nothing stirs, even the highway is quiet.
