    No problem here-but I had to give a lady a jump start at the gas station yesterday-she was at the pump, went in to pay, and couldn't start her car.
    Got quite a look when I told my fiancé that I jumped a lady that afternoon!!

    Yesterday at the end of the work day, it was about 16°. It felt like a heat wave after the mega cold snap we had.

    It's 30° now. Supposed to get in the mid 40's this weekend.

    Had an ice dam. Bedroom ceiling spots. Frost on roof sheathing. My neighbor who’s a contractor that replaced our roof when Hurricane Ike came there 11 years ago came over and inspected. Ugh. Pain in the azz. 65f today, go figure. I’m thinking a block off plate for the stove is in order also. I have a full insulated liner for wood stove, but that chimney has to be giving off too much heat in the attic

    Garage floor drain froze under the slab, 2ft feep snow from the roof melted and backtracked into the garage. To get rid of the flood I had to cobble together 100psi of air from the compressor and a garden hose shoved through. Blew out about 10ft of ice, 4 inches at a time.

    Sump drain finely started flowing yesterday afternoon. It is not running much, but still had to check the basin and bail it out once a day since last Thursday.
