    The indoor/outdoor thermometer says it's cold outside (large numbers on the top of the screen). The snow will be along--just another week or two. How's things at your house?

    18 degrees this morning. It snowed 3" yesterday and most of the snow melted but shaded areas still had lots of slush. Anything that didn't fully melt yesterday, refroze overnight and was slicker than goose poop this morning. I would be surprised if the hospitals didn't have many people with slip injuries show up this morning.

    WOW is it seriously 83 degrees in your house???
    We have our AC set to come on at 76
    We been finally getting to the single digits and highs of mid twenties and a bit of snow. Its about time. Most of deer hunting was in the 60's so I didnt even go. Would have to shoot it and then butcher it immediately.

    It got down to 30 last night, but it's warming back up.
    It's our usually wet & windy, and feels colder than a pawn broker's heart.

    Well, yes and no as to the 83 degrees. The house is heated with a wood stove in a smallish office and it has a little fan sitting on the top that operates from the stove's heat, and a larger fan (not visible) that blows the warm air from the office into the kitchen and living room. So, at present, it is about 80 degrees in the kitchen and 78 degrees in the living room. It's cooler down the hallway in the bathroom and bedrooms, about 73 degrees. The house also has central electric heat, but since I live in the mountains and own a small bit of woodland it's much more economical to heat with wood, which is very pleasant. Us antique-type folks don't mind it being a little warmer, but I'll be the first to complain about it being 90 degrees in the summer!

    I leave the electric furnace's thermostat set at 72 degrees so that if we have to go somewhere and the fire goes out it's still nice and warm when we come home. I just thought I'd share this morning's temperature with you fellows living in the banana belt. Am I jealous? No, I love living in the mountains. It's home to me.

    23 degees, gray overcast, wind at 15 mph, just a dusting of snow.

    Hey, since retirement, no getting up at 3:30am, no firing up a CAT dozer, loader or excavator, I really don't care about the weather!

    Our mornings have been in the high 20's or low 30's with some wind and cloud cover. The humidity makes it feel colder than that. Pretty mild compared to some of you other guys weather!

    Low to mid 40's here. High wind yesterday (20-30 mph) but no precipitation. Might get some rain later in the week.

    Still no frost either - I might get the chance to cut some late season hay in a few days.

    Mid 30's to low 20's here. Forgot what the sun looks like. Where's all this global warming they always talk about?

    29 degrees at about 1AM with frost on the windshields, 39 at 9AM.
    Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.

    Cold in the mornings, frost on everything. By 9 we were in t shirts. We’re framing a house getting ready for what’s coming.
