Good Morning 1/4

The weather looks frightening. Accuweather is still sticking with the 1 or 2 inch snow and ice totals, but I don't see how it could be, when it is supposed to snow for 16 hours or something. That doesn't make sense. What really looks bad though is the night time lows for next week. Down in the single digits. I am not sure I remember it being quite that cold here, although it was plenty cold a few years ago when we had that bad storm. I am going to see if I can finish putting that snowblower together today. I hope so. I am not very mechanical. Friend started it when he was here, but was not keen on finishing it. I will be thrilled if I can get this together, and I can get it out of my way. Wish me luck...I almost guarantee we will have more snow than what they are calling for. The weatherman last night said Northern parts of this county will have 8 to 12..so I am suspecting we will have somewhere in the 7 to 8 region.

Good luck with putting it together. Such tasks rarely go smoothly but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

@JudyEv I am standing there saying "Did you look at the manual!? Look at figure 3 etc." He glances at it and goes back to doing is own thing.

@snowy22315 Sounds typical male behaviour.

I hope you get the snowblower together before it starts snowing. We're in the single digits for our lows too.

That is very unusual for these parts. We haven't been that cold for years.

@just4him Yes, several states. I am worried about my car battery. I will have to go out periodically and start the car

@snowy22315 I heard the deep freeze is going to hit most of the US.

Did you get the snow blower together? My husband mentioned buying a cheap plow now that he has a new large truck.

This must be a yearly nuisance.

The past night it was very cold in the north of Switzerland, our temperature was 28 F this morning, but it warmed up during the day. I wish you good luck with the snow blower.

Thanks with my luck, I'll get it all together, and then it won't start or something... No, I will think positively it will start!

It looks like the storm will be south of us. Only the southern part of Ohio will be affected. That's OK. We already have 6 inches of s**w. Stay safe and warm and have a good day.

Hopefully you can finish putting together the snow blower. It is too cold to snow here. This morning when I left for the grocery store at 7:35, it was only -8C. That is cold. But better in January than in April I always say.

Yep, although it will be exceedingly cold this coming week, I bet we will have a big jump in temp the week afterward..like up to 70 or something.

Stay warm. I have lived places that got below 0 when I was very young, but only recall getting in single digits and it was very bitter.

Yeah, if the power goes out we are going to have a real problem here. They did have a warming center in the community, but it was not open at night when you would really need it.

I enjoy snow but not excessive amounts, harsh wind and temperature extremes
