We had a cold day here but we also had a big ole February sun today. Sunday is suppose to be -20 with the windchill factor.
Yep, that wind will make you cold quick. I plan on doing some work outside, we'll see how long I last.Eeek! We are supposed to wind chill to six or seven which is damned cold to these old bones.
Good Luck Andrew hope you don't lose power like we did! The problem we had was it snowed heavily for hours with the temp above freezing so the trees became heavily iced up and starting falling like dominoes with the hurricane force winds we endured..Here too Ray. It's not often they call for a blizzard but this time it is pretty straight forward: they are forecasting up to 24 inches of snow and winds of up to 90km/h. I am going outside shortly to bring in a few wheelbarrow fulls of wood, fill the tub with water (wanna be able to flush the toilet) and wait out the storm. I love it!

Sounds like the Osburn is keeping up very nicely tooRay: This place is the Mecca of snow. GOod thing I invested in a good snowblower.
Save: Naw, no need to go out. Although I love driving in storms like this. Take your time, great winter tires, AWD vehicle and big open parking lots! But I am staying in with the family tonight. The stove is cranking out the heat..the basement is 28C and usptairs is 22C.
I have 2 snow blowers and one is an MTD 8HP and the other is a 7.5HP Ariens.. I find the Ariens is much easier to work with and I think I will be selling the MTD and hope to get $300.00 for it.. In my opinion the Ariens is better built, starts and runs easier and uses less gas too.. If I ever bought a new one it would probably be an Ariens..I can't afford a yamaha or honda blower ($3500+) but I have an Ariens and it is a beast.
Best part: we have received 26 inches. And we are supposed to get another 16 later this week....phoooooooey!
