Couple more days of this cold crap and it looks like it will warm up a bit. Not sure if there's enough snow from last night to plow today or not. May have to bore sight my .17 today since it received a scope last week. Have a great day all, later.....

Morning boys. -14 here this morning and heading for a high of -5. We are back home. Made it home just before 11 last night. Sure was nice to get home. Still a lot of unanswered questions with the inheritance stuff. The wife and I are off work today and I have tomorrow off too. We both get 3 days paid for bereavement leave for parents. So we are taking it all. I would have probably gone back early if we weren't required to wear that stupid mask at work. So any freedom from that I am taking. Well, just another day in paradise. Have a good one boys.

Morning everybody. Very entertaining weekend of football with the surprise of Erin falling on his face again.

Phone says -20 here this morning in International Falls with a West wind at 5 mph. -33 wind chill. High of 0 today. This winter seems worse than last year. I don't remember a long cold stretch like this one. But, I'm getting older so maybe the memory if faltering. Everybody stay safe.

[Jerkbiat]

It was a way more mild winter last year. This winter is reminding us what real winters are like.

we have had several easy winters the last few years I think

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Glad GB lost but still can't believe that in 13 seconds KC tied their game up.  Yes remember how mild it was last Jan.?  20's every day I think.  BUT then we had that -35 streak for 10 days in Feb or March.  That was a tough stretch. Sure looking forward to some 20 degree days here.  Not a lot going on today and that is ok.  Gonna be a take it easy day today.

Mornin.....-9 here this morning. Not going above zero today or tomorrow. -25 tomorrow morning.

Afternoon gang! 12 at choretime with falling temperatures the remainder of the day. Got another couple inches of snow overnite. Melted out to .09" of liquid equivalent precip. Snow removal mode this morning after chores. Tractor wouldn't start at first (bad connection) so that pi$$ed me off. Froze my asset on the skidsteer for about an hour as the NW wind steadily came up. Working that T-bar, my hands got so cold I could barely hold a wrench to work on the connection to the tractor solenoid. Sprayed the snot out of it w/WD 40 after I loosened the nut. Tightened 'er back up & she took right off. Needs to be cleaned up & that treatment repeated on a warmer day. Much warmer sitting in the tractor cab. Faster too. Got the yard whipped back into shape in no time after that. Prepared to unload straw or can punt on it until I'm damn good and ready.

afternoon fellers........... another morning of getting worked like a dawg!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just gonna do some snow cleanup later.........then snuggle up by momma the next few days!!!!!!!

yea i remember last winter a 2 week stretch where it was really friggin cold!!!!!!! not sure when it was. 

i thought the footballs games all stunk........they where fun to watch though!!!!!!!

[mike89]

just finished cleaning the snow here..  I think we got more yesterday than they were saying..  what a surprise!!! 

[markn]

Minus 15 here this morning. Thinks I'll stay in today, hot oatmeal may be the ticket for breakfast. Have a great day all, later......

[mike89]

mornin all, -18 here and hope to see -6 today..  wish I could stay in too, but I have an appointment at the Alex VA this morning.  other than that not much going on today so have a good day all!!   and oatmeal sounds good!!!   

[KEN W]

-20 here this morning. only getting up to -10 today. But warming up to +30 tomorrow.

[roony]

22 below here to start the day. The warden has the day off so she's got cinnamon rolls in the oven so I'll go in for some breakfast soon. Otherwise I'm working on keeping things warm. Probably going to Bugtussle around noon to see mom. Keep warm everybody.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  -20 right now.  Looking forward to -8 for the high.  Not going to do much here today neither.  Cooper is having a hard time having fun with it so cold.  By the time he comes in his feet are cold.  Will make a few more trips to the garage for him today.

[Gunner55]

Mornin gang, -15*(-31WC) & -2* will be the high. I'm done with jury duty but it took me 'til just after lunch break before I could tell 'em why they didn't want me. It was almost 2 before I got back here & I'm convinced I don't ever want to got through all that  again.  Not sure what's goin here today yet, I'll figire it out as I go. Stay warm & hopin your Tuesday's a good 1.

[Dotch]

roony always gets the best cold weather...

Mornin' gang! -20 at choretime heading for a high around -5. Low was -20 in Owatonna & -17 in Albert's Leaf. Punted on heading into Bugtussle today. Have a print deadline to meet before noon. Internet's working here so can't think of a good reason to be in the office. Could feel a little more bite to the air last nite at 10 p.m. lamb check. Put on a little heavier layers for chores this a.m. Stayed warm but my fingertips were starting to feel it about the time we finished up. Like the sound of that hot oatmeal markn. If oats are good for the sheep they gotta be good for the shepherd.   

[glenn57]

morning fellers........a balmy -16 here!!!!!!! yea shadow didnt mess around outside this morning either. not sure what is on the agenda yet today.

gonna cook up KenW's taco soup for chow tonight!!!!!!! 

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. -21 here this morning and like LPS said only supposed to get to -10 for a high today. I am being lazy this morning. Just laid in bed watching the birds outside on the feeder and some football highlights on youtube. Sent the wife off to work this morning. I would have gone back to work today, but any day I don't have to wear a mask. I am taking it. Well, time to make something for breakfast. Have a good one boys.

[glenn57]

This is the ordeal we have to go through when it gets this cold. Our dog get cold feet very fast, and starts lifting his feet off the ground, then lays down. If we don’t use boots with socks we sometimes have to bring him out a couple times.

[glenn57]

  coopy.........i'd never get shadow to sit still long enough to get even 1 on!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

They no longer are wearing at the highschool here as of yday. But I learned at lunch yday that they're now requiring them at the middleschool & 1 of the elementary schools in town.

[Jerkbiat]

Forever the way it seems. They play the stupid game of shot or no shot when the mask go away. Right now everyone has to wear them but it will eventually go back to if you have the shot you can stop wearing them. I have been wearing the mask, or should I call it the chin diaper since spring of 2020 at work. They keep buying into all the  . Even when Full circle Fauci says the mask aren't working now again. Guess that's what happens when millennials are running the company.

[glenn57]

yea i dont get it either.........they say the shots dont last forever, they say the masks dont work well, but yet they keep pushing this stupid crap?????/
