That IS cold!  Sounds like it's time to invest in a good heater!  If it weren't for my kerosene heater in my shop, I'd have to give up woodworking 'til spring...and I don't want to do that!   ;)

Hi Rob, we got crocuses snowdrops and even daffodils out, and two of our roses are still blooming since last spring, but the frosts will kill off the roses. I think it must be the global warming everyone's on about causing it all lol

I was in the alps for the weekend (Clickedy) - we had temperatures down to -26?C (~15?F).
Our car was parked 2 days without moving. I could hear every single turn of the engine when I started it yesterday - but it ran luckily, unwilling but it began to work.

Kids where not amused - all the little ones (we had like 14kids (1-6yo.) and 18 parents in the group) were arguing and didn't want to make a single step outside.

Coldest will be reached on Tuesday and after that there will be snow, snow and also some snow. So John - get ready!
