I'm in the banana belt of Ontario, Canada. 0 F. A bit balmy. I'd paint
the porch, but the latex keeps freezing... so it's an oil-based kinda
day.
A bit windy though, blew the beams right off my headlights.

I'm trying to picture you with headlights. Or maybe not. It's
downright balmy here with the 0500 trek to find the newspaper
temperature (that is ambient temp, not the newspaper temp) in the 40s dF.

And yes Buffalo is ahead this year in the snowfall total at 59" versus 58"
for Syracuse. Luckily I'm far enough south and east that we have only had 8"
total.

Nah, too big of a chance of falling. I wait until the snow reaches the
level that I can just walk onto the roof. ;-)

A "snow day" is when you have to "pole" to find your car. I've had a few.

Drove down from Dorset yesterday, not only 0F (maybe even a bit lower),
but a tad snowy and icy too. Kinda funny seeing all those snowmobile
trailers in the ditch. They might drive a sled real good, but they sure
don't know how to drive the truck pullin' 'em.
Only 78 here in Burbank California but it did get down to 48 last night!

C'mon Lee- it's not that bad. At least we haven't had much wind, and
it's been sunny.
Whereabouts in Wisconsin are you?

I'm in Wisconsin. It's actually kinda nice. Being sunny sure helps.
Oh, I have a basement shop.
