I was not sure you could get away from the cold on this one.. LOL


We didn't. Got down to 17°, second coldest Mardi Gras ever. Got down to 15° in 1899, the year of the Valentines Day blizzard. We had rain (froze) and sleet.... probably some dusting of snow, but not during the day.
Roads iced over, preventing travel for only one day. I was prepared. Only time I went outside was to maintain water and food for the birds, squirrels, etc. Though windy-cold, it was kinna nice to get out for some fresh air. Lafayette had water pressure issues, but no boiling water advisories as with some towns. No power outages here, either.



Dang Sonny you remember the 1899 freeze? LOL... Darn typo's

We were at 7 degrees on Dec 23 , 1989. That was pretty chilly and no
power issues.


Both my truck and my wife's car had ice circles down to the ground. 3"
of snow and ice on my hood. And we still have some snow/ice in our
flower beds.


The snow and ice, in our gutters around the house, is finally melting
and it crashes with a relatively loud bang when it falls down the down
spout.



Why are you parked outside? I thought you had built a house with a 3 car garage! You must have bought more than just a Sawstop (and didn't tell us) to fill those bays.


Wellllll my wife's car comes in over night. All of my equipment spreads
into all 3 bays on mobile bases when I am working. I am in the middle
of a kitchen redo and her car sleeps outside when I'm working.
