    Wow Jet, for where you live, that is nuts.

    Today here, we have a temp spread of -17 to a high of -4, but the wind chill all day is
    supposed to be -25 to -35 *all farenheit*

    Strange thing .. it was 65 on Saturday.

    Nuts.

    I was in the Orlando area over the weekend, it was 75 when I left ... it's 80-90 degrees COLDER here ...

    This is the first winter I have been down in Texas where I am contemplating buying a winter coat. People where out on the lake this weekend here, I hope they keep their boats in heated garages because we will have 3-4 days of a hard freeze this week.

    Was in Chicago last weekend to go to the Bears Packers game. Had to borrow a coat. Don't miss the snow at all, salt on the car, slush on the sidewalks, crap on your shoes, using your winshield washer fluid every 45 seconds to see out the window.

    I feel for you guys, though I miss snowmobiling and skiing.

    A little worse here jet. We've gotten 6-8" in the OKC area and more in NE OK. The wind is the biggest issue and snow blowing around is creating quite the issue. We have some drifts in our yard 2-3' deep. It's still snowing here, but just about done. This is quite a good winter storm. The upper midwest and northeast looks to get slammed. It's hard to believe it was 76 on Saturday.

    I guess it's all relative & what you're used to. We're in for 20 F in NW burbs of Houston tonight & high's in the 30's for the next few days & calling for 1-3" of snow on Thursday - pales in comparison to you folks, but I'm about ready to move further South!

    We're not built or equipped for cold weather down here - I lost the valve on the outdoor shower & sprinkler BFP last winter when we hit 18 F even though they were insulated. Spent big $ last summer replacing the queen & date palms around the pool that we lost then too. Been freezing my arse off on a ladder out in this mess wrapping the new palms in Christmas lights & blankets trying to save them this time...

    Good luck to all & be safe out there - those temps can kill!

    We ended up with about 12" around OKC. Up past Tulsa they hit 21". Both were record breakers. There are some pretty good sized drifts out there. I went out this morning to try going to the store and see what the roads are like. Most of the roads are still covered pretty good, but driveable. I had to bust through a 3' drift to get into the CVS parking lot...LOL! Whipping the car around with the e-brake is fun too!
