Okay guys, I apologize for making fun of your cold weather. Now take back that cold sh*t you'll left on my lawn.
I woke up to 25* temperatures with a wind chill of 14 and frickin ice everywhere. We had freezing rain and sleet come through early this morning. My truck had a nice thick layer of ice on it. I almost couldn't open the door on my truck. I also damn near busted my butt on the iced up running board. I rolled the window down to clean the ice off only to have a layer of ice still there. lol I had to bust it out just so I could see. Temperatures are still dropping. We might get above freezing sometime today but will drop into the teens tonight.

Very unusual for where I'm at. Our normal for this time of year are lows of 50 and highs of upper 60's.

It rained all the way up into Buffalo AND Cleveland a few days ago! Unheard of in January! I lived in Cleveland for 5 years, and I was born in Buffalo.
Never has happened in my lifetime. Then this frigid air rolled over it and turned the upper midWest into a freezer. More normal weather.

My sister sent me pictures of the airport in Shreveport yesterday. She's a Wisconsin native like me and spent almost 20 years in Cody, WY. It was nothing to her.
Having experienced the freak snow, freak show in SC, I'm glad I wasn't there. Not for the weather but for the 'End Times' show by the locals.

The sun shined yesterday and it hit almost 53', so I got Mrs. 2LZ out to the shop (the sun shining in the roll up door was a bonus), to help me move the fleet around and do a dang good sweeping. It felt AWESOME to get out of the house and do something semi-productive. Leaves, dirt and driveway gravel were everywhere (thanks Spotty), so it was good to get all that cleaned up, at least on one side of the shop. I finally got all the float chargers hooked up also. I'm REALLY bad about that. I usually wait until they won't start anymore, then panic. That was about half the case yesterday. I can say, the '48 fired first kick!....but it's the only one that doesn't need a battery!!! Anyway, project done. Felt good.
Back indoors again today feeding the wood stove.

all these comments are a big part of why I live in NC now. That is TOO damn cold for me up there!
@jerryhawk250, we aren't getting the cold stuff until later in the week.

The brightest sun today since before Christmas and it actually made it to 0F. We have a few more days of this BS then it's supposed to be a balmy 32 to start next week. T-shirt weather.

Gonna break 50' today but the clouds are sitting on the ridge. Be wet and drippy all day, no sun. Another good day to keep the stove going and serve my gainfully employed Queen. I think steak and eggs is on the breakfast menu.

Sunny and low 40s today. Another short cold spell coming Fri and Sat, but not too bad.
