for winter, what Buck ya carrying and how cold is it...

18° F here now... We got about 6" overnight on Friday into Saturday morning. Ice storm warning this evening, but is supposed to warm up tomorrow for a day. Then back to cold.

Last week we went from over 60° during the day (and about 40° at night) to single digits this weekend. A little snow the other night.
Same at your place pjsjr pjsjr ?
With mittens on, the only folder I can manage is a 110, and the full brass two-dot never lets me forget which pocket it's in.

But for convenience, the CPM-154 Smokejumper is usually right here next to something bigger.

When it's even in the 30's TV news gets all excited warning folks to keep there pets and plants safe.. But the biggest problem is freezing pipes. For many decades building codes... even in northern Florida.. were not considered safe for cold/freezing weather and many homes suffer damage in a bad cold snap. Back in the early 80's it got to 17 degrees ( 90 miles west of Daytona) and stayed below freezing for over 12 hours.. Extreme 'Hard' freeze for here. You could NOT get a plumber for weeks..or free estimates lol!

I have a brother who lives on the east Coast of FL, one that lives on the West Coast, and our one son has a house in Lakeland. We visit occasionally, usually in the Winter. The temp can be in the teens or single digits when we leave PA, and we're fine, but if it gets down into the 40s when we're in FL, we're freezing. We used to go to Daytona every year for Bike Week. Here's a pic of my wife & I all bundled up, hogging down BBQ in Daytona one day, and a couple days later, we were on the beach.:)
