[Ironbut]

The propane tank for the generator's full. I just filled the tractor with diesel. And we have plenty of firewood. We're about as ready as we can be, I guess.

I believe Ice (up to 4"!!!) is going to be the biggest problem this weekend..

 

[Ironbut]

A balmy 27°F this morning. That's 28 warmer than yesterday.

Hope all my Buck brothers are getting ready for the big storm that is going to affect the eastern half of the US,

Cold front coming thru later tonight. Bitterly cold. High of 4* tomorrow, wind chill -30 or more. Some snow is expected but not heavy snow. The picture of the Cat dozers was taken from my driveway just north of the house a few years back. We had quite the blizzard and were snowed in for a week.

The tractors are full of winter diesel,the propane tanks are full, and our free standing Lopi gas stove is ready to go I’m case we lose power.

It's 16F this morning, but fingers crossed it'll drop by tomorrow.

I think I'm starting to develop a preference for this 112.

Been carrying a 112 auto instead of a 112 manual for a short time, and finding it unexpectedly practical. Easier to open than my manual 112 with really thick winter insulated snow gloves on, and still easier to unlock and close than my Sebenza frame locks wearing the same. Was cutting some 550 cord this morning to re-secure some outdoor things from the wind, and didn't need to expose my fingers to the -20 windchill. Nice!

Those darn 112s tend to grow on you. I've had 110s for over 50 years, but never got my first 112 until about three years ago. Now, the 112s are about all I carry.

46f and sunny here right now, like the calm before the ice storm.

 

[pjsjr]

32 degrees, sun shining but the wind makes it cold...
Weather guessers say cold, in the 20s, and maybe snow tomorrow into Saturday.

 

[Ironbut]

20°.

 

[wonderboy1377s]

-15 air temp, windchill of -42. I don’t think I will be venturing outside today.

And that'll arrive here tomorrow. I think we'll be above 0° though.

Stay safe and warm!

That's crazy.
And the other side of Lake Michigan it's 10-15 degrees warmer.
I'm good.

That’s good to hear, but that’s still to
cold! It was quite the shock to come back home to this weather( I was out in Oregon for the last three weeks). We aren’t supposed to get above 10 for a high until next weekend.

The thermometer fell here as well. It was -6F when I went out for my run this morning (at the Y on a treadmill), but it warmed up to -2F in the afternoon sun when I snapped this photo.

 

[GronK]

5 degrees and flurries in southern Colorado. EDC for today:

 

[GPyro]

Went outside with the dog earlier.
All she wanted to do was bark at the deer.
It wasn't as bad as it was this morning. I didn't go out with her then.

At least the wind hasn't been blowing.
Stay safe.

 

[hunterjrg]

Headed to the cabin for a few days. -5 when I pulled in.

I know it gets colder where you're at than it does here.
But if you gotta be inside, you picked the right spot.

I like the light. Have you ever it used it to track a blood trail w/ the uv?
