    Woke up this morning at my farm in Milltown WI and it was 28 degrees below zero F. Got the heat going in my shop so I have something to do instead of just huddling in the house. How cold is where you are at?

    I'm also in Kansas- Topeka is also that cold with blustery wind. I think our most up to date forecast is minimum of 6" depending on your distance from I-70

    Wow, sounds like Frostbite Falls! We're looking at single digits and 12"-18" of snow in southern Maine on Sunday, depending on current weather predictions.

    This is shaping up to be a memorable winter. Here in southern Missouri, a 4 or 5 inch snow is a pretty good snow for us. As it sits right now, they are predicting upwards of a foot here. Combine that with 20+ mph winds, and lows in the single digits to sub zero at night, it will pretty much stop everything around here for a few days. You fellas up north wouldn’t flinch at this I’m sure, but we’re not geared up for that stuff, lol.

    63 here in the Texas hill country right now. Supposed to get down to 31 tomorrow, 22 on Sunday and 19 on Monday. Had to shut the water off in the shop today (no heater). I'd move further south, but I would have to learn another language.

    Not as cold here as some of your spots, but I was out Monday morning pushing snow on (not in) a tractor in single digits at work. Will likely be doing it again this coming Monday with the Snowpocalypsemageddon they're forecasting.

    I guess my -18 degree F drive into work this morning would be considered balmy to my brothers up North.

    Anything sitting outside I hope you checked your antifreeze. Frozen radiator could potentially mean a cracked block and you’re screwed.

    First temp I saw today was -19 , the house was a little cool and there was a notice on my phone from the power company that the power was back on. That’s good It’s all of -9 now…
    I can’t say that I hate winter but the cold, snow and ice ****s and I can’t remember the last time I saw a woman in a Bikini but I don’t hate winter. It was so windy the other day that the snow was covered in dirt but I don’t hate winter.
