Don't know, James. I have all the greenhouses wrapped up, and the door doubly wrapped. I just have to trust the heaters to do their job. All the LED and T5H lights are on right now, so those alone will heat the greenhouses.

I am SOOOO friggin' cold. I sure miss our wood heat.

Just got back from the RV show in Milwaukee. Had to park 2 blocks away, but luckily it was the ramp attached to the Grand Avenue mall, so we just walked the distance inside the mall and came out of the Boston Store just across the street from the event. Still cold just crossing the street. Green Grin!

I am missing my wood heat, too ... Sighing! I am so glad I am not hauling wood this year because it has been much colder than usual and the snow is sticking, but there's nothing like being able to back up to the stove to warm up after you've been working outside.

I still haven't gotten used to this new heater. Grumbling
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.

I'm still complaining, Rita. Sorry for those in the negative, but high 20s - low 30s is too cold for me!

James, it snowed here last January.

Although none of the weather guessers have breathed a word about it; I wouldn't be surprised if we got some today. Looks like a snow sky.

Susan, that's even better! Rolling on the floor laughing

Ann, it snowed here in 2004. I wasn't here for it. If we would have had precipitation last night/early this morning, it totally would have snowed.

Ginny, Rolling on the floor laughing Don't laugh at us. It's a rare occurrence.

We got 2" of rain overnight & the air is full of moisture; that's why I think there's a chance of talcum powder as the temps. head down from our present 40 degrees to the predicted 26 degrees.

James your weather would seem positively balmy to us. Here it has been below zero and windy along with ice and snow. We have snow banks in our front yard form the guy that cleans our driveway with a bobcat and puts the snow there to get it out of the way.

I can't even imagine, Betty. Is this average weather for you, or colder than normal?

I can't wait to get my "average" weather back. Just a few more days.
