Our psychotic weather did it again! It was freezing for a few weeks through Monday 1/22. A front blew in carrying a lot of rain and naturally warmer temps. It rained just about all day and night Tuesday and Wednesday 1/23-24. That got rid of the ugly white stuff. It’s been much warmer since with a high of 58 on 1/26!! I like that!! “They” are calling for above freezing temps for the next two weeks. March will be here soon (not wishing away time) and the light at the end of the 6 month NEPA winter will be getting brighter!!

Mike, you're right, the weather in NEPA has been tough. We had to cancel our annual ice harvest in Tobyhanna on Millpond #1 for the second year in a row. Last season we had 10 inches of ice at Christmas and open water the third week of January! Open water again today. Interesting history on the old time ice industry on the interrnet at Tobyhanna ice harvest.

Put some wood in and it gets nice and warm and toasty.

Unfortunately, our leaders (?) would like to ban them. Boo Hiss!

Yup. An ungunear would notice that!

I've a friend in Hamilton, MT, with whom I talk every so often. He said they missed hitting the record low there by one degree a few nights ago. It went to -37 degrees. Record was -38 degrees in 1956, as I recall him saying.

I'd have to close off the vents in several rooms of our old ca.1875 farmhouse and only heat two or three rooms if it got as cold as y'all get.

That was often the case in the old days when folks heated with wood. Some going through 20 cords or more in a heating season.
