Over Night Temperatures

[thistlebloom]

yes dear they are covered...

did you remember to put more electrical tape on the extension cord....

Well since you brought extension cords and electrical tape up....
remember that fun piece of equipment I have that blows snow?
I decided when I was out doing chores that I should get all my paths blown again and do the driveway too, as a favor to dh so he wouldn't have to plow when he got home.

So there I was enjoying the scenery when the machine started to skew sideways. Whaaat's going on?, thought I.

I stopped and looked at the auger, and there, wrapped hopelessly around it, was the cord that runs out to the dogs water and kennel mats in the run. I had even noted about 30 seconds earlier that I needed to stop the auger when I went over my oh-so-carefully marked cord. Yikes! Talk about ADD. Had to get my clippers and cut it off the auger. FYI, I did have the presence of mind to unplug it first.
Now there are two extension cords on my shopping list.

Well, it reminds me of garden experiences.

I cannot be trust weeding with a spading fork anywhere near a hose .

Thermometers dropped below zero overnight at a nearby airport but here at home there was a blanket of freezing fog ... good thing there were no planes landing here! Fog cleared this AM and the temperature dropped like a stone!

Sunrise! Since the horizon is not level here it's nearly 30 minutes late.

The temperature is 1°f at the nearest Weather Underground station. A pretty world out there. Thankfully, it will be late morning today before I have to go out in it! No choice and it's to be colder Saturday. I'd better have something to take to the Post Office that day.

It's ..

.. -4°f in the big veggie garden this morning. I'm so glad I'm not out there!

Now, it's supposed to warm. Above freezing for a few afternoons, this week. Of course, snow is likely to accompany this warmer air. Since everything on the ground is frozen, I don't think that there is any chance of a brown Christmas .

Icestorm in Oregon has left quite a few people without electricity ...

-15 here last night. It is snowing now, and very slowly warming up a little. I am dragging my feet on going out there to see the chickens...

 

[Nyboy]

Snowing hard but it is Christmas snow I feel very different about Jan/Feb snow

Two pairs of wool socks on, @buckabucka !

Of course, your corner of the world is colder than here ... even if it's further south .

Let's see, @aftermidnight is further north and it's ... -4° in Victoria BC, too!! Oh, that's Celsius ... 24° on old man Fahrenheit's scale.
