I'm in East Islip and in walking distance to the Great South Bay (if that's what it still is out here (I grew up in Massapequa). They were saying temps of 17F with a wind chill that will make it seem as low as -5F - 5F.
It is a balmy -12°F and -20°F with the wind chill, great morning for a long walk as their is no exhausting heat, no crushing high humidity and no bugs. The Pacific Energy stove is just cruising at 500°.
Had a fire call at 5:50 this morning, it was 6 outside, as I'm walking out the door I threw in 4 splits, walked to the pickup truck in 1" of snow, slipped on ice underneath the snow... got to the firehouse and went to the call, getting back into the ladder truck I slipped again.. had a air pack on and tweeked my upper back just below my shoulder blade..wtf not a good start to the day, got home, poured a cup of hot coffee and stood with my back to the stove to warm up my bones then did a half butt hillbilly yoga stretch..all is good now and its 9 outside.

Hm, nope. But only been here since '17.
Nice read. No AC needed there...? I thought we were lucky with the evening breeze from the Sound coming in. But this seems good too!
I'll drive around there north of Whiskey road a bit. I'm close.
