I like the cold weather. It means you get work done.

The weather Network says -35 outside my frozen fingers after 4 minutes wearing thinsulate gloves say -45 at least.

I went out, snapped a few pics, swept the snow off the solar panels, and filled the giant bowl with snow for melt.

My finger tips were hurting. I was happy to get beside the fire I lit earlier.

Cats are fed, three big bowls of snow are on the stove, right beside the kettle for coffee.

I managed to fill the house full of smoke while I lit it. That confirmed that the smoke alarm I bought on Amazon was another Chinese scam.
