Those were great, but #11 was awesome.

For all of you whining about the cold, this was the highest I saw today at school. As I was leaving:

Not really ticked, more scared. I'm providing tech support to a VP in CTN right now.

Almost 60 degrees is a sauna. Twenty below with sixty MPH winds is freezing.
60 degrees a sauna?

70-80 is pretty much the sweet spot.

Went and chopped down our tree after kids got out of school today. We'll definitely have some memories from this one...34" of fresh snow in the past 3 days. Then the cold - so none of it had a chance to compact down at all. Each step was up to the hips - took an hour to go in and out about 120' into the woods. Even with good boots my feet turned grey and we couldn't have been out much longer - about -5 right now, but will be -15 once the sun goes down (-40 w/wind chill). Kids were troopers and we might have even gotten our Christmas card picture out of the deal - so good stuff all around. I'll post a pic or two later.

That sounds great. We haven't had a decent snow in quite a few years. I love the winter.

It's brutally cold - but i'm half tempted to take a "new" snow angle pic. We'll see if the missus is up to it.

Speaking as a lifelong Texan, I am absolutely terrified. I am horrified both by the frozen world from which you hail and that I co-exist in a world where frozen men like you roam the tundra.

I just got some shrinkage from reading this post.
