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.

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.. :lol: Larryw told me it was like 70 at his place. I should get some of this figured out one of these days. :D

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.
Agree 100%!!! My grandfather & great grandfather on my moms side were surveyors.
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 :D

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