I'm glad y'all like it up there. I sure glad y'all live up there and not me. I'll just deal with my heat and humidity.

15 degrees in Boston, opened one window for about a half hour to get some oxygen into the house.
Yup, I am a New Englander, taxi tested tough.

I wish you'd send some of that warm weather my way...
They're talking about calling of school for the kiddies on Monday already. The high will be -14 and the low in the -25 to -30 range.
Then you add the wind chill on there and it's dangerous just to go outside!

Just to add to the surreal, Monday's forcast is for rain and a thunderstorm.

Since this thread is all about some cold weather, I figured that I would point out I'm on a semi truck going from new york to Wisconsin. This is my third night in a row sleeping in temperatures below 30 degrees. This engine hasn't been turned off yet, and my heater works great.
Just think about that 1.5 gallons of diesel per hour just idling away to keep me warm and my batteries charged next time you complain about shipping and handling prices.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If it's -30° F that idling engine is keeping your fuel from jelling. You are warm, fuel is liquid, and there's a paycheck coming -- life is good (but really cold)

That's a nice bit of exercise. Helps you stay in shape, and provides variety from running, the exercise bike, and the weights. I do such myself, although of course we don't get near that much snow here. The eastern compound has several hundred square feet of deck and driveway, so a 6" snow is a couple hours work and a darned good sweat.

I'm a company driver, not owner operator. I don't pay for fuel
If it's under 20 degrees my electric heater won't keep up. Under 10 will kill the batteries. My company tells us to idle all night under 15 degrees.
My fuel has never jelled. My company uses additives and truck stops sell the additives. I'm not worried about it as my cabin heater is on and the truck doesn't turn off long before -30 is reached

Sebago Son....Saw your neighbor today....I85 Southbound, left hand lane, Maine plates, packed snow on trunk lid! He was haulin butt. I suppose he was not a Maine native and had had enough!!
Hope your staying warm and have dug out.

Thanks Bill! I am dug out now and getting ready for the rain and ice coming on Monday.
I can't blame a guy for heading south today!
The governor ordered all public schools closed Monday, when the forecast high is -14°, preceded by an overnight low of -27°.

Supposed to be 45*(F) here on Monday with a Thunderstorm.

I forget, what was that old saying about New England Weather?
Our schools closed already too. One by one though, no official proclamation.
Weird though that today it's going up to 30 degrees! I'm going skiing today and hiding out until next Wednesday.
