9 below tonight.
If it wasn't for covid I was going to spend February around the Gulf in Texas. Guess I was just as good here. Saved a grand for the summer I guess

Yeah, last I heard was 14 dead. I mean I know a lot of folks that way don't ever deal with that kind of weather, so I get it. Heck, we deal with bad weather almost every winter, but people still act like they've never seen a snowflake as soon as they start dropping around here.

Something I'll never understand is the mass population's fascination with buying milk and bread when the weatherman says it might snow. Every dang time, grocery store is wall to wall packed. I shop for groceries a little here and there all week every week, of course that means I get caught up in that crap for a freaking pack of bacon or some darn eggs. Luckily if they ever wipe those sections out I have some good friends who butcher their own and grow their own eggs from egg seeds, so I have a backup source.

I don't mind the snow at all, but I hate the frigging cold. I'm ready for spring to get here so I can get some work done in the shop for a change. Or a heater for the garage would be nice too.

That might have worked out for the best for you, then.
Nothing worse than going south for the winter only to get more winter.
lol

It's 25 here, right now.
Feels kind of warm compared to the past few days.
We've got a light blanket of about 3" of snow.

I don't get the store rush thing either.
Do people only buy groceries one day's worth at a time? lol
I think it's a carry over from the 50s or something, or maybe even some instinctual kind of preparatory response.

We've been going out for drives everyday (4 of our cars are 4-wheel drive) just for fun.
I actually graded three of them on how good they were in the snow.
My little Samurai won, hands down. lol

I love the snow, but hate the cold.
I spent a priso... I mean, military tour in Anchorage back in the '90s, and the only thing I miss about that place (besides the scenery) is driving in the snow.
When it snows here, I jump in something and go for a drive.
It's one of the few skills I have that I'm really proud of, and of course, it goes mostly unused down here.

Sometimes I wish I could share my abilities with others.
People get nervous about snowy roads, but I get excited.

I love driving in the snow too. We have two 2000 XJs that I loved to drive when they were running, and would leave about an hour too early for work just so I could play in the snow piles on the way while nobody else was on the road. Plan is to gut one of them and use it to fix the other for my oldest daughter eventually.

I'm having fun here in Iowa with my old 06 Subaru Outback 5spd, and my 18Sub Crosstrek.
