    Brrr!!

    We had a range trip planned for this morning but it's a little chilly out.

    Two days ago it was above freezing, this morning it was -32 C! Hard to have fun when you're miserable.

    We don't have that problem here in New Brunswick. Around minus 30 last night with the windchill. On the upside there are no blackflies whatsoever.

    I started work at 3:20 am it was in the 60s. By 8 am I had the trucks AC with fan on low. Two fold, it keeps the windows from fogging with all the humidity. Course when it's 98 and jungle humid for 6 months in the summerI'll be wishing I was there. I love mountains cold weather ,Ice hockey .......why am I living in Florida. Did I mention I have Canadianicon blood on moms side.Love my northern cousins.[COLOR="Silver"]

    It was below freezing for days a week ago, and we even had a snow storm. (Over one whole inch!) -
    All schools closed, broken water pipes everyplace, and crashed cars lining the roads!

    It's been near 80F and humid this week, and like Dave, been running the AC some.
    (If you don't like the weather in Texas... just wait a minute!)

    Seriously, the warm humid air from the Gulf of Mexico mixing with the colder air from the North makes for some interesting sudden weather changes here in north Texas.

    I was finishing basic at Lackland in early Oct 1969. the day before we shipped out we had red flags out meaning it was to hot for outside activities but the next afternoon as I waited for my bus I was wearing my winter Blues and freezing my patootie off.

    Well OP, what can I say? That certainly is a character builder at the very least.

    Are the flowers in bloom there yet?

    I built all the character I needed when I lived north of the Arctic Circle for 3 years.
