-7 now, that's up from -13 at daybreak.  This is the last weekend for archery deer.   They're safe  because I'm NOT going out in this!

WOW.  My first car in high school was a 56 Buick special convertible when I was in High School in Rochester, MN.  Nothing like that enclosed drive shaft when you blew a U joint.   :hairy :lol sign :bigsmile:

13o here this morning when I drug myself downstairs.  It was up to 30 a little bit ago. It's supposed to get down to 8o tonight, but then it warms up again to the upper 20s for the rest of the week according to NOAA weather.

Walked to the P.O. this morning with the dog faithfully alongside.  I was going to go a bit further so he could run but the highway crews had spread deicer and our main drag was wet.  Not good for the bare dog feet!  We turned around and went home again.

There was a guy in Ketchikan who went barefoot all the time, even in winter.  He told me he only wore boots to come to town because they salted the roads and the melted snow would freeze his feet.  Otherwise snow didn't bother him.  Think of that when you are walking a dog (or see someone doing so) where there is deicer on the pavement!
