    Colder then a mother's -in-law kiss here, and it's going to get colder yet.

    So, which is colder, a mother in law's kiss, a witch's tit, or as Kelli put it; colder than a sled dog's ass? Sorry I don't know the answer, I never was kissed by a mother in law or felt up a witch and the last time I stuck a thermometer up a sled dog's ass it bit me.

    It's blowing like hell, 28 and going down to 7 and wind chill warnings up through tomorrow.

    -8 in Lafayette Indiana. I65 is still closed and US41 is drifted in impassable. Stuck at a Walmart!! They didnt have power for about 4-6 hours earlier but its back on now. Glad my truck is still running. The heater is keeping up sorta with the cold. is about 56 in here. Could be warmer but i'll take that over the temps on the other side of the windshield...lol

    Everytime I think it's bad here, I read N2NKW and think, it could be worse.

    We went from -9 to 56 and a few hours later, voila, 8. I think the birds froze to death. Wind is up there too. High today 10.

    How about those 'Niners?

    I remember those days with my neighbor (truck driver) in Dayton, Ohio. I use to help him warm up his truck in a store parking lot in sub-zero weather. We used a charcoal grill without legs. On Sunday Morning we built a nice hot charcoal fire then slid it underneath the engine. By Sunday night he was off and running.

    My waterlines froze this morning. Apparently Virginia houses aren't built for single digit temps. I just put the space heater in my water closet. Hope the water comes back on before the wife wakes up.

    Things are a bit different today. My bunk heater on this truck actually has a small furnace in it that runs the truck coolant through it. As long as I have battery power, I can run the bunk heater which keeps the block sorta warm. Not HOT but warm enough so theres no problem cold starting the truck. For those times when I am home and not running the bunk heater, I have a 120v AC plug in for the electric block heater. I have yet to use it though

    I grew up in Central NY about halfway between Albany and Binghamton. Our house had a hot water circulation system though the baseboard system. EVERY winter we had at LEAST 1 pipe freeze and burst somewhere on an outside wall. It was a real PITA. We tried running electric pipe heating wrapping everywhere but it never was enough. I was so glad when we moved out of that house even though I was a kid. The one thing I do miss about that sort of system is the sounds the radiators made when the hot water started running through them. The radiators attached to the piping was a series of fins and it would pop and ping and make all kinds of noise when it started reacting to the heat. I kinda miss that.

    I never met my mother in law. I heard she was ok.

    Virginia houses are only built for single digit IQ's.

    Sorry, Mike, I don't mean that. After all, Luke lives there.

    It was just too easy.
