Ya know I was thinking of Ray_way when our temps starting to fall. Minus 12F tonight and a big high of 1F tomorrow
 
I took a pic of my outside temp from my truck as I drove to work this morning
-21 degrees F and the high reached -9
so it did get warmer - still **** cold !!!
 
Hey hey now! What's all this!?!

First off, that's centered over Kenora, not Winnipeg. (Umm, I think. Is the pink spot the warm spot, or the cold spot? :re)

Second of all, did you know it was colder in Winnipeg than it was on Mars the other day? Now that's freakin' cold. It was -31c before the wind chill today. My entire brake system on the truck seized up. Lol!!

-12f, :slp Silly Americans. Just stay indoors and :ib
 
Well I didn't know about the Winnipeg and Mars thing but what I did know was you commenting about how cold it was and now it is cold here! Lol, I'm thinking you have to take the blame

the rayway, I do not know how you handle it! By the way, I think there are more Canadians here in Florida than there is in Canada! A quick walk through our local Wal-mart parking lot I saw cars from 7 different provinces!
 
Rayway
I took your advice and I am sitting in front of the warm fireplace with a glass of wine - if it has been refilled -do you count that ????
 
We had some blistering cold days a couple nights ago. The Dishwasher supply line which runs inside our kitchen cabinets along an exterior wall froze up the other night but luckily I caught it before it split and thawed it out with a few heaters. Temp here is dropping again for a few days but not as bad as last week and nothing compared to you Rae!!!!!!!! Your freakin nuts over there!!!!!!
 
Yeah, super fun times all around. :ft

Julie, blame me if you want; but you should do as Steve is. Bottle of wine and a crackling fire. (That, or a spin in the jacuzzi!)

Dan: corner. :D

Pjd: I find it incredible that the students at the University where I work are still running out for coffee in their t-shirts in this weather. They're nuts! We used to house sit for a couple who moved to Arizona for 6 months each year. They're called Snow Birds for a reason. And they do flock together.

Wade: people has their water pipes freezing and splitting all over. Some are running a thin stream all night just to keep it moving. Ugh, and all the big water mains around the city are splitting too. Makes for one big mess.
 
Rayway - I also repair those broken water mains as well as plowing to keep your streets open as well. My worst main break was -22 F and there were several breaks throughout the day - it lasted almost 18 hours if not more. The nice thing about it all were the residents who came out and brought us warm coffee !!
I will never forget those kind people !!
 
I thought you were going to tell Julie to spin the bottle fopr a second and had to take another look, I guess that would warm things up also!!! :HB;)

be careful you could be in the corner with Dan !! - LOL
 
WOW thanks, I love that corner. Wanna stop over, I've got the good stuff that'll keep you warm. A few of us have learned to hide our own special stash in the corner.
 
Is that what you do also Steve, I wondered what you did besides make great products. How long before you can retire to your real job of pump making only? I dont mean being too old but when you are eligible through your job as a State or City worker.

Yes Wade I am a maintenance mechanic for a city - I build ( all equipment ) and maintain all the Police vehicles, Plow trucks, regular vehicles and all small tools as well. We have a total of 2 mechanics and a fleet about 120 licensed vehicles and a whole lot of small equipt. The other mechanic mainly does Fire dept and the large trucks. We plow - fix main breaks and whatever else they need us for

I hope to retire in approx 8 years !!
My body is sore after doing it for soo many years and that is one reason I came up with the whole idea of the Allinone.
