Forty something degrees after weeks of cold. Beautiful day all the way around. Took this picture when I started trekking back home.

Yes, yesterday and today made me think that this is what it must be like to live way up north and have a heat wave where everyone comes out and sees each other. Last Wednesday was -16 here.

Just for clarity when people mention degrees we will assume it's Fahrenheit. Because -16 Celsius is chilly but nothing to write home about.

Yeah, sometimes US folks forget that we haven't convinced the rest of the world to dump the metric system yet. Building things using inches, feet, yards and pounds is sooo much easier!

I was educated before the metric system came in. I still think in inches , feet and miles, I used metric at work so no problem converting. As far as temperature my thermometer reads both but I look at the farenheit. . My truck gives me litres per 100 km as far as milage , so I really have little idea what kind of milage I am getting It also reads miles per US gallon so this is also confusing as I think in imperial gallons. I just fill the tank up, and drive it. Today is the first mild day we have had for a week or so . A few nights we had to bring our brass monkey inside, didn't want his balls froze off. Enjoy the mild spell. old 243

I don't know how y'all stand it. I live in central Florida and was raised in southeast Georgia. I can hardly function below 50F. Snow is not an option.

Here is a picture of an ice dam near our camp in Nova Scotia. We have had several evenings of -25C temperatures and frankly I'm surprised that the river is still opened past the ice. It was -18C in our camp the other day when we got there. BRRRRR!

Ice should only be in tea or bourbon. I didn't know thermometers were made that went that low.

The thaw didn't do much good for the Maine skiing though! Everything iced up into a boilerplate so it was hard to enjoy the 35 degree temps when your edges could barely grip and most of the mountain was shut down due to dangerous conditions.

Going to the bush to cut wood today. There is a foot to 18 inches of snow on the level, so had to blow a road to the bush . about 20 f here. At least there are no mosquitoes. Dress warm , need wood for next winter. I am lucky , my son does most of the bush whacking, I am just his helper. old243

It has been a good January here. Many days in the 30's and 40's. I went to the cabin today and had a nice fire going and took a walk. Here is a picture of an old cabin on my land. There is hardly any snow here.

rmak,I try to always keep a positive attitude. Doesn't always work, but most times . A half full glass usually means that you have enjoyed the top half. Now you can enjoy the bottom half.
Our wood cutting went well the other day , have almost enough for next winter. Also was able to enjoy a day in the bush , with my son. old243

Yeah, Old243. I was complimenting you. Being a "glass half full" kind of person means you always look at the positive and good. An optimist. That's you. I got a laugh out of chopping wood in the cold and being happy you didn't have to put up with mosquitoes.
If you have a son who helps chop wood you should be happy. I have three and they don't like that chore.
