My coldest ever was -40. (don't have to say F or C. They are the same. It is where the two cross.) I Had the heater on full and the stove and oven on and the highest I could get the temp in the apartment was 60 F.

It was 76 here yesterday. That's an 81 degree swing in 5 days.

Re: for all you cold Texas boys...
We're a "balmy" 30 degrees this morning. Think we hit a bit over 40 for a high yesterday. (for like 30 minutes) Warm. Three days ago I was plowing snow at 13 degrees on my open deck tractor. I was "bundled" up like the Michlin Man...blew a hydraulic hose on the snow plow, fixed that standing in a foot of snow. I'm to old for that stuff.. Larryw told me it was like 70 at his place. I should get some of this figured out one of these days.

Re: for all you cold Texas boys...
Agree 100%!!! My grandfather & great grandfather on my moms side were surveyors.horseman wrote: Thinking about all that "old" equipment compared to what they use today it's pretty amazing what was done with them and how accurate the men that used them were. If folks actually knew how all this country was surveyed and how it was done and how well it was done, they'd build a couple statues.
They lived in Maryland & West Virginia. Great granddad was all over the USA & the world,
Granddad was snapped up by the military.
Hey Horseman, low 80's here today.. Gotta trim the bushes & clean up the yard

Haha, check out Syracuse N.Y., then add a 1/2 HR drive north for the real snow.
