Bitter cold

[bassin_bug]

Where is Al Gore?????????????????????????

Al is probably out receiving another Nobel prize for global warming. Two weeks ago we had a blizzard that knocked out power, phone, internet, and water in over 65,000 homes, mine included. We had 12 inches of wet snow over ice that wreaked havoc on everything. It uprooted and broke trees that blocked roads, caused lots of wrecks, and broke power lines. Our utilities were off for 4 days, when the water came back on it was polluted, rust colored, and stained everything it touched. All the trees in my neighborhood look like a hurricane struck them.

We have power company workers here from several states working 16-hour days and the power is still off in about 10,000 homes. A few nights ago I saw a crew from KY working on power lines about 11:00 p.m. I took the time to roll down the car window and say "thanks" as I drove by. They were so tired and cold and acted like they were glad to hear somebody speak a word of appreciation.

We were told that FEMA was coming to help us but nobody has seen them or knows what they are doing.

They say we have 3-4 more days of "light" snow moving in. That's what they said the last time. High temp tomorrow is supposed to be 23. So much for global warming.

Where is Al Gore? Well I know he isnt here cuz for several days after CHristmas we did have "bitter" cold weather like -30Celsius which = -20F for several days and that hurts the old body let me tell you. But you get use to it. Now old Al and Bill Clinton use to be up here all the time talking to our government about global warming. But they left when it got frigid cold. lol

Now today is -5 Celsuis which = 25 F which is really nice and balmy. I just got back in and found it a nice break from the cold.

I went bowhunting this morning and managed to stay in the woods for an hour and a half. I was freezing even with all my cold weather gear and had to get back to the Jeep and warm up. Jeez its cold. It is almost noon and the thermometer on my back deck reads 21 degrees.

Man I would agree...it's bitter cold out there. If you have pets get them in or give them shelter tonight....

Low this morning of 11 at my house and they say tonight it's gonna be worse. This is some nasty cold here and now they are saying we could be looking at 10 to 14 days of this crap before it rebounds to the balmy 30's.

I'm already done with this winter, it can't end soon enough for me, come'on spring, come'on spring.

Here we go again...it was 22 degrees when I went to bed last night. When I got up this morning it was snowing and it looks like we have to hunker down for the day.

I'm glad I have a fresh homemade apple cake and a pot of hot coffee brewing. Maybe it will soothe Sweetie Pie's nerves after he has walked 25 miles around and around through the house looking for nothing in particular. lol We are both outside people and days like this drive us nuts.

I think I am going to the store and buy me a 30 pack and lock myself in the house for the rest of the weekend.

Hey thats a good plan Tim. Darn I do agree with you folks that it is bitterly cold out. Some stupid Arctic breeze has put us back in the deep freeze. It is -20 Celsius with the windchill which is about -4 F. Man that is cold and with a wind CRAP! I wouldnt care except I am going out tonight and the wind will mess my hair! Then i will have to drink twice as much to get the chill out of my body right? oh well I will try to have a good time anyway! hmmm, I hope my car starts after sitting outside for a few hours not being plugged in. Now that might be a problem
