Don't know how many of you are in this but to all please be careful! Here in Southern Maryland we are at 8 degrees and a fill like temp of 0! We got about 6 inches of snow but at least 3 to 4 inches of ice, still digging out. Temps to last about 5 more days.

We had a couple of feet at the farm, and it was about the same temperature-wise. Damn cold. It was even cold down here in Florida. 45* is cold for around here. Our heat went out, but we got it fixed. But for a while I thought we were back up north. Well, not as bad as that but still...

Anytime the heat goes out is bad no good time for it. 8) I wish it was snow , this ice is so dangerous! Temps aren't helping little to no melting and I've broken two shovels trying to clear it. Right now for me the best thing is a pix ax but that is a slow process. I am thankful our Electric Company has done a great job with the power. To you and everyone please be safe! :D

Arlo I see the winter blast has made it all the way down to you. While I realize it's not as bad as up on the Mountain it's pretty cold down there where you are, be careful of the falling Iguana's hope the heat stays on. Be careful while I'm sure you can handle the cold others around you might not(driving wise)

29° in the mornings... Cold no matter where you are. It'll start warming up however. Maybe 30°.

Two consecutive days in the 50's here in Southern Maryland, never thought it would happen it's been that hard a Winter. Just want to Thank any of you that might work for the Utility Companies up and down the East Coast. mine is SMECO and they did one hell of a job keeping us going through this Artic Blast of the last 3 weeks. Cable Company(Comcast) did well around here also.

Up here in the Pacific Northwest. We have rain which is much needed. Best wishes to all who are riding out the weather on the other side of the US.
