6* as I type here in the garden state. Blew the chairs around the deck and a complete white out for about a 1/2 hr. I Hope Mother Nature gets it all out now for an early spring. When I go to let the dogs out they just look at me and walk away. I guess I can't blame them, I wouldn't want to put it out there either.LOL

I am on the south edge of this front, 12*F this morn, blasted weather dude said it would warm up over night, hasn't happened yet,,,
All y'all in those really cold places stay warm, toss another log on the fire and grab the pipe!

It's 0 DegF right now here in Upstate NY. My wife woke me up around 1 am and said the power is out, got out of bed and it was cold in the house, went down stairs and fired up the kerosene back up heater, house temp was low 50's, checked the girls and the tent was 66, so wasn't worried yet. Went back to bed and 5 mins later power came back on, yippee, back down stairs to turn of the Kerosene heater and back to bed. Man I was happy the power came on.

-43c with the windchill here in good ol Canada! It literally hurts to be outside.

11F here today, more like -4 with the windchill. The apartment stays pretty warm, and I have my two vegging plants on top of the flowering tent to get some of the heat from the light. Roomie wrapped scarves around the two pots; they're drinking a lot more because of the dry air but should be OK.

Not only did I miss my train stop to work (had no choice but to walk back from the next stop--well, I ran because I didn't wanna be outside any more than absolutely neccssary), but I got stuck in the warehouse today doing inventory precounts...three layers and I was still cold -_- (warehouse has a vent directly to the roof, they sealed it up by taping a drywall panel over it...doesn't help). This weather it hurts to breathe if I'm outside.

Happens every year around now .

I've seen a balaclava with a filter mask (creates a microclimate so inhaled air is warm and humid)...not cheap, but I'm seriously considering getting one now. That would definitely cut down on winter respiratory annoyances.
