    7:30 PM and it's already 32. Coldest I've seen it this early in the evening so far this year.

    Parts of northern Maine got 4" of snow yesterday. This global warming isn't what it's cracked up to be.:mad:

    Stove is going, kept it going all day, so the house didn't cool down. Wife hasn't yipped at me, or dragged out the electric heater. Time for a hot cup of tea.

    Mine was in shutdown mode when I got home, but by the looks of the hopper, it ran most of the day.

    25.3 at 8:30 PM here.

    We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave.

    No it is just that it was in the teens here this morning, so the 25.3 seems downright tropical. My new birds were a bit confused with the hard water this morning.

    It got a lot colder than it was predicted. The dogs pool was frozen over, and a some water left in a water bottle in the car was frozen solid. But the house is warm.
    I imagine those new birds were confused. Wait until the see the first snow!

    Definitely cold enough for this stubborn pig to be burning. Had to lose the shorts and go to big boy pants a week ago too :(

    Seen it for the first time last season, One's in the front were slippin and slidin try in to stay out of it, While the ones in the rear were not sure about the hold up! There eye's said it all and round they went right back in the hut! Didn't come out until we shoveled em out a lil spot.

    I bet they forget and it happens all over this season?

    And then you have the big 4 wheel drives that think they can drive as fast as they want....then they are in the median (and hopefully not in a tree)

    I'm glad I don't live where you do. 26 was bad enough here.

    30* was coldest here yet. But it felt much colder!! I ran the stove in High/low for 2 nights. I must say, I am glad I have a stove that does both modes now. :)

    The ground is white with frost this morning. Dogs went out and wanted right back in, no usually going around smelling everything.
