Getting snow off of the roof. Works every time.

Steel roof - could not get me up on that with snow on it.

[Tom Dempsey]

With that peak, you couldn't get me up on it at any time.

11 degrees this morning when I put out the garbage......

[MurphOnMillerAve]

It was 8 here (= -2 "feels-like" temp) when I did the same, last night, and the cold air actually hurt, right thru my clothing, let alone for my exposed skin. I don't recall having the cold hurt previously in my life, except of course when I would go sled-riding as a boy and stay out so long - far too long - in the snow that my gloves and fingers got stiff.

Yeah..........the last of those logs to split out back are just going to have to sit tight and wait a while.

By the time I figured out how to make a screen it it warmed up 4 degrees

My golf pro called me on Facetime Sunday when it was 25 degrees here at the golf course...he was standing in line with his son at Disney World saying it was near 80!!!

They're calling for snow here Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

At least the cold has made just about all the gumballs drop (into my front yard), I've already raked 3-4 bags of just gumballs up and now I have another 3-4 (1 on the front porch!) to get up.

I swear I'm going to find a use for them and sell them to the "gumint", maybe to blast paint off navy ships

...... all the gumballs drop...........find a use for them......

My mother used to use those in her craft stuff making Christmas items that financed her entire shopping budget every year.

It was 20 this morning and snow is predicted for Wednesday.
I will NOT go out and play in the snow. If it does.

What are "gumballs"? I'm from Ohio and never heard of them.

They're what comes off sweet gum trees.......

Thank you.

We have the sweetgum in this area. I recognize what is called in this area "burr balls".

Funny that’s what some were saying after Atlantic City’s polar bear plunge yesterday. Burr balls
