What are environmental conditions where you live given these recent 'weather' conditions .

Anyone truly suffering like I think I am? .
Hey Pete,

I'll trade you my Southern California property for your icy cold BigFork MT property whenever you're ready. It was in the mid 80's here today. I am hoping to make a visit to MT this spring. Maybe I'll make it far enough north to come see you.
If all goes right I will be residing in MT within the next 6 years.

The weather here in Australia has been floating around 98 to 106 this past month. I think you guys and girls need to come on down here to warm up untill the weather warms up over your way.
Just let us know when your on the way and we will get the BBQ ready.

Thanks for the information. I'll be in Sydney for one day. All I will have time for is a sleep-over in the hotel, a quick meal, then off to China. Love your country and the people.

It's -8F in Moline IL right now, but the warm Canadian breezes are making it feel like -16F.

I'll put the aframes back on the front end when the temps creep back up to 30F. Until then, time to do taxes instead.

PS My wife and I are hiking in Glacier National Park MT again this summer with DZVETTE and his wife. Let us know if you want to hoist a couple of drinks or maybe the body off a Corvette.

Got to -20 last night and -26 the night prior. So we now have a warm up. High today will maybe get to -4 if the sun shines brightly and wind doesn't come up. Northern MN got to -36 the evening before last. Cold as hell, no way to work on anything in that cold.

Weather is crazy...... here in Park City, one of the premier ski and snow board resorts in the uSA we have poor ski conditions and the weather keeps going into the 40's. Little snow accumulation over the past few weeks and today it's suppossed to reach 50-55. Just

We should be 4 feet of powder and temps in the 10-15 range.

Might take the car out and drop the top for a while......

Has been 8 to 12 below zero here for the last three nights, daytime highs about 6 above; wind chills around -30, all schools closed the last two days due to frostbite conditions for kids waiting for school buses (that won't arrive since they won't start in this weather). No cruising for a couple more months.

I bought this last week:



My 3 car garage temp went from 35 degrees to 70 degrees in only 20 minutes after I plugged it in. Best thing I have bought in a long time.

I am self employed; I figured I could use it for work too (wink, wink).
