Burrr.

The nucking futs weather is in full swing now. After a week of below freezing weather, today is blowing snow, and 4 degrees and -7 wind chill. The good news is when it stops falling I can use my leaf blower to clear my driveway.

I could likely pile it up and set it on fire it is such dry snow. It is supposed to snow all day, kinds stop for a while and then a second storm comes through and dumps more. We might finally get above freezing by Friday for the first time in 14 days.

We have broken all sorts of records for the coldest high temps for a day, and lowest temps for the day. If we don't get above freezing before Friday I think that will be an all time record as well. We just don't see this type of winter weather often fortunately.

We had to add water to the kio pond in the back yard yesterday. Normally I just use the sprinkler system's water well but I did not want to risk running it for the pond section. That would fill up the main trunk line and it could freeze before the the automatic drains drained the line as it is not but a foot deep. I ended up using a faucet adapter to the sink in my garage bathroom and ran a hose out the back of the garage to the pond.
