The cold finally got here

18 outside and wind about 20 from the north....3 or 4 days of this. Only inside work for a few....why couldn't it happen next week? Oh well....that is Oklahoma weather for you.

-5 here this morning. I'd work outside at +18 but I guess some people could think -5 is pretty warm.

Well, today is the first day of this year that I miserably failed in an attempt to go to work. I screwed up my wiper blades when I was trying to get rid of 2 1/2 inch of ice from my windshield, and I still cannot open any of the doors. Darn car is a freaking rock solid ice-cube. I guess I`ll stay at home today

Today is the first day I've been rained out all year. Chilly right now by LA standards.
The only good thing I can say about this city is that the weather is good for the building biz.
Other than that, I'm ready to move on after 30 years.

60 here; got that little roof job done before the rain hits this afternoon. Looks like that's the end of it, though. They're calling for 40s and rain the next few days.

I gotta say though, we have it nice in central PA. I grew up north of Pittsburgh with plenty lake-effect snow and temps typically below zero for much of the winter.

Yesterday it rained all day which i worked in with a smile, today everything is like a sheet of glass but temps are bearable. Now we are going to be getting alot of snow for the next few weeks. I like the snow for plowing, easy money with alot of "cash" and the truck is warm and toasty. Show me the money!!!!!

Got here too! Lows in the low 60's w/highs in the lower 70's. Good thing that it only lasts a day or two or I'd freeze. Highs near 80* for the rest of the week, may have to turn on the A/C!

Honestly, this really does suck. Have you ever tried to wear full camo in THIS weather? We're in the middle of deer season!
