-22 outside, maybe colder. I had no choice but to run my generator. I needed to cut wood and all my power tool batteries were dead.

I had not run the gen for a few days. It was probably too cold to run the little machine.

One thing for sure, it was too cold inside, not to have woodcut to burn.

I had hoped this was the last cold night of this winter. The long-range forecasts said so, but they are rarely correct.

It was too cold to even sit by the fire to type these words. The last 4 pieces of wood were in the woodstove heating water for coffee.

It is 4 degrees in there.
