Finally got off of my lazy butt and cleared the walk and driveway. DAMN it's cold out there!!!!

[Siwsan]

We are currently at 14 degrees, in mid-Michigan. I'm back inside and back on my lazy butt, considering making something for lunch.

Might be a good afternoon to bring in some firewood and utilize the fireplace.

1. Still on my lazy butt. Need to clear the snow off the deck, but you know later

Good luck with that shoveling and stay warm and take frequent breaks

[Siwsan]

3. Thankfully I have a snow blower

And it started right up. I can't imagine living in Michigan without one.

9. I got to go out and see if my car starts, eventually

[Siwsan]

12. I did that yesterday. I had to make a run to the post office to mail something

It was a reluctant start, that's for sure. So, I finished clearing off as much snow as possible and pulled it into the garage. What snow was left has melted and evaporated away so I'm not TOO worried about having to start it up.

2. You also have a pair of heater cats, of course.

5. True. They are still figuring out the best place to lounge in front of the fireplace

It has an insert so the fans blow out that warm air, making lounging directly in front of the flams quite unnecessary.

4. I'll see your 14 degrees and raise you *-14* degrees.

Just ran out to fill bird feeders and discovered I probably should have put on a coat and gloves. Mr. Cat is sleeping in the sun on my porch, in his comfy chair with the heating pad; I guess that's enough to keep him comfortable. He was hungry this morning - I'm glad I got the heated food and water bowls so at least his food and water aren't freezing.

8. I need to get a heated water bowl for the ferals

As soon as they see me, and usually even before, they come running so the food doesn't last long enough to freeze. The water is another story.

6. 23 here with WC of 17, but nothing here is built for winter

Fortunately, my home is brick & does have insulation, likely to protect occupants more from heat than cold.

Stay warm!

11. I admit I'd rather have the cold than any deep snowfalls

My cousins live on the west side of Michigan and they got BURIED with snow, over the past few days. We got, maybe, an additional inch.

[SheltieLover]

13. I agree!

Glad you, your boys, & ferals are safe!

We had 1/2" of snow with some sleet yesterday. Schools all closed. They just don't have the equipment (or skill set!) to deal with snow removal.

7. It was 3 below and snowing...

...in a suburb of Denver Wednesday. Ask me how I know...

[Siwsan]

10. How do you know???

Inquiring minds, and all..........

14. 21deg here this afternoon 9 windchill. Not going out. The trash barrels can sit for one more day.

I am going to fire up.. HAHA... my sewing machine and finish a quilt.
And order some food from Kroger. They will deliver. woo hoo.

15. NoVa at 1:14 this afternoon, unusually cold. Despite full sun, only 23 degrees.

Last nights 3" snowfall feels skiers ideal powder.
