Seems like the whole state is in the deep freeze this morning.
Where are you and how cold is it this morning? I've got -26 and a roaring fire going inside. Winter Park/Fraser area.

Sunny here now too and up to -19. I'll be working on the interior of a log McMansion this morning, about to go start the Jeepy. I hope they have the heat at a reasonable temp there today. I'll be the only one there.

lol... naw, nothing creepy. There are log "cabins" (1500sf or smaller), log "homes"(maybe up to 5000sf), and huge log "mansions" (7000sf++). I just refer to the huge ones as "McMansions", not sure why.

Just more proof that these are "the good old days"...vs when the gold rush prospectors and pioneers were alive. Can you even imagine what those folks faced on a day-to-day basis?

Wed was low 30s rain which turned to ice pellets and then to snow for about 20 minutes. Just not right in the land of shorts and flipflops Sopchoppy Fl. Thur everything with a sheet of ice on it.

 That's really crazy temps for Florida Burrell! Hang in there, stay warm and safe. Hopefully warmer temps are right around the corner.

I was just bit.... er...... complaining about how cold it was.  At least I don't have to go out and start the darn generator anymore - the AGS kicks it on now with no problems. I can even run the ceiling fans to distribute the heat without worrying about the power shutting down..... keep the well pump beaker on, etc. One problem down, a thousand more to go!

+42F as I type. Been a very dry winter so far. Looking like the drought is gonna be bad this year. Unless we get a lot of precip this summer and fall, next winter better be a 100 year snow or it's gonna take a decade to recover the watershed.
I know a couple weeks ago I drove to the top of Lila Point, and in a normal winter I shouldn't have been able to get past the Horse Canyon mine. Having low water in the creeks out here is not good. Where ya'll're at in Colorado, well low water means getting to gold you couldn't get to normally unless you were diving. Here, first things first- ya gotta have the gold in the creeks to go after before ya can try to to get some. I'll let ya'll know how I fair coal-panning!

You are correct Russ. Still in Utah. We have been getting some precipitation lately, but it's sparse. This year is not looking at being a pretty one. But look on the bright side- it's gonna be a great year for panning and dry washing!

Brrrr! It got down to -22 this morning. Was snowed in yesterday, so we spent the day digging out. Drifts as high as 3 feet in places we didn't want them...hehe. Dan and Tim finally made it to the store to get gas for the genny but when he went to start it, the motor was froze solid.
