Minus 10 F here this morning. Brrrrr!!
The high is going to be 1 F, then it will gradually warm up as the week goes on. They say this unusual cold is as a result of the Jet Stream weakening, due to global warming.

The coldest place I've ever lived is Edmonton, Alberta. I checked THEIR temp this morning, and they are a relatively balmy -10 C compared to our -24!
(That would be 14 F.)

I'd rather be here;

Oh yeah....
You should see what I'm wearing right now to keep warm. When I went out to do the kennels, I didn't want to get dressed, because I'd only have to undress to take a shower and wash my hair. (I cleaned the ashes out of the fireplace yesterday, and my hair got cake with fine ash.)
So, I was wearing a nightgown and dressing gown that goes just below the knee. Overtop of that I put a beautiful off-white knit poncho with sleeves that my mom made for me. Since it flops forward when I'm bending over, I secured the waist with a colourful scarf. I don't want anything flopping forward when I'm tending the fireplace, believe me!
Then, to protect my bare legs, I pulled on a pair of jeans! I was going to put on my rubber boots, but decided my old worn-out slip-on shoes with the holes in the toes would be all right, as I did clear the main aisle between the two banks of runs yesterday.
The dogs didn't laugh, bless 'em!
But MAN, is it COLD out there! One of the dogs must have spilled its water bowl, and pushed the wet blanket against the guillotine door. Blanket was frozen solid....
Guillotine doors have their uses, but they are a BAD BAD idea in wintertime in our climate.
There's not much more I can do to make it warmer. I've already got 2 electric heaters going, and have stuffed every crack with insulation, and have rolled towels pressed against the bottom of the doors to help stop drafts. I've also stuffed most of the guillotine doors with insulation from the outside.

LOL winter fashion's.
Sometimes in the middle of the night when I go out to get firewood I'm wearing an old jacket and gloves, nothing else..lol
I'm out of the deep freeze now from the blizzard that didn't happen.

Sunsilver....oh go for it....why not..Winter fashion!
i been going comando for the past 2 weeks because i cannot do all the strings and ruffles with only one hand and i been limited to pants that i can pull on with 1 hand because i cannot do buttons....and i have to wear zipper only shoes, no shoe laces because it looks bad when your boss is on his knees trying to tie your shoes....

LF, I've tried to find out what you did to your hand, but haven't been able to locate the thread. Could you please tell me?
Moons, If I were you, I'd at least wear SOMETHING over my nether regions! PJ bottoms, jeans, boxers, whatever...
Always the chance of dropping a piece of wood, or even slipping and falling.

So for Christmas James- my husband got me a pole dancing kit…. So on Thursday I fell off doing an upside down split…
My arm is straight…..the bone is not…lol..both bones broken just below the wrist with a small fragment loose somewhere in there….will see ortho spec. tomorrow see what he thinks….
No cast yet just a splint from ER.... and very purple fingers….
Had to do re wrap today….
Ok. I had my hand re wrapped and redone in ER, much, much better now..i also saw my hand…..camera did get the true colors but it is nasty looking.
j/k about pole….i went ice skating w/ Sash (daughter) and my brother…

LF,
hows the healing process coming along?
Are you going to need the surgery?
Hopefully you'll be as good as new by the time summer gets here.
Sunsilver,
I'm usually half asleep, not to be graphic but I've always slept without and in the middle of the night I just wanna get it done and get back into bed..lol
I need the jacket and gloves because of the wood it's easy to get a cut or a splinter, even poison Ivy from old vines still stuck to the bark.
My biggest worry is a cold nose sneaking up on my from behind, that's happened a time or two..lol
Now that I have neighbors I gotta watch for them driving by and seeing the old naked man splitting wood.

I'm sure there have been times for all of us that if the world observed how we were dressed they would gladly have provided us with a rubber room to live in.
LF gave the old man a left hook, that's how she broke her hand. LOL
I could tell a story how me and one of the neighbors got stuck together in the middle of a busy road in the cold, all she had on was a flimsy bathrobe that the top portion flopped wide open and we were stuck together with cars going by and tooting their horns.
It's a long story and I think I posted it before, it wasn't funny at the time, but it is now. LOL
