We Michiganders embrace the cold.

Last night shenanigans during halftime of the sad Lion's defeat:

Burning the last of the pine tree I took down, then onward to the load of fir I bought two years ago.

I was always told not to burn pine due to sap build up in the chimney and possible chimney fires. I always bought a truck and trailer load of oak from the 4H for my wood heater.

There’s nothing like a fire on days like these.

I really like what John Madden said during cold NFL games in the 1980s into the 1990s.. “ Tough guys don’t wear long underwear..”

And he said it numerous times has well.

Not a problem with the modern technology. I have an Regency airtight stove that brings combustion air in from the outside. The stove burns at 500 F and it exhausts up double walled stainless steel chimney pipe. It’s virtually smokeless where as my neighbour’s POS belches wood smoke and pollutes the air. I brought in a chimney cleaning guy and had him have at it. There were no deposits. Nothing.

It’s Monday morning and the entire continental USA is frozen except for some of California and Florida. The Gulf coast from Brownsville to Pensacola has freezing temps including Corpus Christi, Houston, New Orleans, and Mobile Bay. The east cost is also getting freezing temperatures north of the Florida border. Keep warm!

Hey, can you guess who did that song?

 

[Number_35]

This should be the last really cold day. It's supposed to start moderating tomorrow.

 

[Snagglefoot]

The cold temps are ramping the natural gas price pretty good.

Supposed to snow here Tuesday - lived here for decades and this will only be my 4th time …
Had to move my flights - they have some equipment and chemicals at IAH - but with freezing rain etc … They decided it’s not happening

 

[Geekhead]

Hey, can you guess who did that song?

Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat....

Hell, STEELERS of 60’s and 70’s never wore them. Look at Mike “Webby” Webster and those guys

Webby had a horrible life after he retired died at 50 years old in pain every day , didn't know his own name flat broke and homeless.

If you liked the “ Arctic Pipeline” last week, you’re going to love the “ Polar Vortex “ later this week and next. Freezing temps are forecast to reach Houston. We’re going to get it west of the Canadian Rockies as well this time. Seattle will probably freeze. It’s supposed to be 19 F in Washington DC the morning of the inauguration.

What I think is funny is the stupid names given to these things.

It is a cold front.
