    I’m about ready to get a gun. On our street, in this minus-fvck-40 weather, someone was out last night stealing block heater extension cords. We’re down one.

    I can send a used one down to you. There are plenty of them littering the roads up here, especially on week day mornings when folks forget to unplug the car before heading to work at -35 in the morning.

    Elbows up!

      The highest wind gust during today's golf was 29 MPH, it is up to 40 MPH now.

      Two of us played this AM, nobody else, they closed the course when we finished. It probably won't reopen until Tuesday because of the freezing temperatures.

      It was kind of fun watching the storm of the century blow in. There was light rain with plenty of wind. 39 on the front, 44 on the back as the wind picked up.

      The temperature is expected to drop from 47 now to 27 a few hours from now.

        -13F here at 7am. Windchill is -43F.

        LOL yup, my dryer vent shattered. RIP.

        I also noticed a fresh air intake duct in my furnace room has frost on the outside. Never seen that before!

        <I’m such a mom ..going to bed worrying all that ..> 89th, you’ve learned about snow, critters & whatever else could plug up those intakes, I’m sure, right?

        Oh yes, the intake isn't blocked, it's just pulling in uber cold air and when it gets mixed (exchanged) with the warm interior air, it's making the metal duct frosty on the outside, almost like super condensation.

            Thanks, I had a back-up, but my god. This city has gone to shit. I was outside in the lineup for bloodwork this morning and the guy behind me tells me his neighbor got his catalytic converter cut off in minus-fvck-40 Monday. Like who does this in weather like this?

                        Guy I used to work with used to say, "It's colder than a nun's prunk."

                        Never asked him what a "prunk" was, but I could've guessed.
