The missus and I worked outside for a few hours today, clearing some branches that had come down around the yard and building a burn pile with them. I washed my car. The missus mowed about 2 - 3 acres worth of yard today.

I use a brush burner to melt the ice on my driveway and sidewalks. Not quite as cool as a flame thrower but still effective.

Wind chill near zero right now. I'm on a standby crew at Lake Hopatcong today for the local Polar Bear Club plunge. These people are nuts!

The cold front hit here this morning at 7:00 AM. It dropped from the 40s down to 23 and still falling at 8:30. We also have very high winds from 40 to 60 MPH.
We went to our customary Sunday morning breakfast place at 7:30 and we were the only customers there. Even when we left, we were it. They have a mostly older customer base, and they all just stayed home I guess. The roads were still 100% clear and we have only received 0.01 inches of precipitation. We are forecast to get a dusting of snow. That is plenty!

Well, we were predicted to get freezing rain but we got snow. A couple inches and still falling. Better than freezing rain, I think.

In Va we're also used to snow disappearing after a couple days, with the cold it looks to stick for quite a while. Long range showing more (3-4) the following weekend.

Looking like most all of this storm is going south of Michigan....which is rare.
The cold air is going to dip all the way into Florida. Freezing temps there, but no snow.

Well chalk up another day of shoveling snow without my heart exploding! We got about 6” with maybe 1/4” of ice/sleet underneath. We got off easy compared to those to the North and East of us. The roads in KC were a mess last night.
