Pretty.  
The land of the broken windshield.  I travelled with one guy out there that could barely see through his windshield it had so many cracks and breaks from the rocks they put down for the ice.

surprisingly, i didnt get a single chip or crack while i was out there, on the other hand, a few pieces of my truck are still there on a 4x4 trail lol. every one of our work trucks had a broken windshield lol

I have a fireplace that is used more for ambiance then for heat.  Don't use it very much though - had a fire in it last weekend twice.

I've lived here (Fla.) my whole life with the majority being in So. Dade County.

This is something I'll never forget.

Aren't you supposed to leave the spigots open enough for a slight drip so they don't freeze?  Heard that somewhere.

You mean like this? :scratch:

Yep,
It's a little fountain on our back patio.
It has froze before (when we first move up from Ft. Laud.) but I left it on last night.
We're dropping into the middle teens tonight so I just shut the thing down.

My heart goes out to you guys... lost crops, busted pipes, Jones's lost tomatoes, etc., etc.,  We freeze our a$$es off here in NE every winter and reckon it's just the way it is.  But down there its serious bad business.

Will Fed-X Overnight firewood (freight collect) to anyone who needs it.

Spring's coming... the days are getting longer so there's hope.

No AS news from this end.

Cheers!

Yup, especially the central part.  Not an uncommon occurrence but 20 in a week is unreal.
