The nasty winter weather right now.

They called for "EXTREME COASTAL FLOODING" for Long Island. They were right. Got up this morning only to find that I have waterfront property!

Does that increase or decrease the value of my home? Hmmmmmmmmm

We are generally wimps in the southeast when it comes to cold weather. Well it is -2 this morning and I'm dreading going out to get more firewood. Yep, call me a sissy. My dog loves it though.

It's 9º here this morning, can y'all northerners open your doors and turn up the thermostat, us southerners are sissies.

The only good thing about Commifornia is the weather. Supposed to be 80 here on Christmas.
I hope all those affected by this storm stay safe and as warm as they can get.
I have all my relatives in the Dakotas, and they are shivvering.

Idk kinda nice wearing shorts in December. The location can't be beaten its just the idiots cant get around

I couldn't live with the idiots and the oppressive government.

I'll take a little bad weather and freedom any day. Not much you can do about the idiots; they have infiltrated everywhere these days.

Only a day into winter and I'm ready for spring! This has been going on and off for over a month now already Since deer season. Been in the -50s the last couple days with the wind chill. My reloading room has never been cleaner
The red is closed and the candy cane roads are no travel advised. The ! Marks are bad spots(drifts) which I am guessing are anywhere from 3-8 foot in spots on the highway.

I'm in NW MN.
Even though our actual air temps get colder than yours alot of the time...
The wind doesn't blow here like it does in western ND
It always seems to be about 5-10 mph faster in western ND, than here

You know it's cold when the sun looks like this;

We are about 100mi north of Montana.

Photo was taken out my front door, just after noon, yesterday.

Sun is hanging low, but the days are already getting longer.

Stay warm friends!!

13 is too cold for Texas. If God wanted Texans to ski he would have made Bullsxxt white!

I'll take a short bit of cold weather over the hell that is Texas for 3-4 months in the summer.

I hate the summers here.

The year before hurricane Sandy destroyed Long Island, I had some storm related flooding on an intermittent basis. It took me a while to determine that water wasn't flowing into the house but that the water table was so high that water rose up through the concrete floor. My wife was exasperated by the recurring problem and the loss of carpets, furniture, etc. Her solution was easy, "fix this or we are moving".

I had several water experts here and ultimately put in an extravagant French Drain system under the house. The entire basement had to be ripped out and everything except the oil burner removed. It cost nearly $10k to get the job done and then I had to rebuild the basement, walls and all.

Just today, my wife looked into the backyard at our new lakefront property and then ran downstairs to see how bad the basement was, only to find it to be dry as a bone. With a big smile on her face, she said "that $10k drain was the best money we ever spent."

-21 air temp and only 18MPH winds this morning. First time since Tuesday I have seen my creek. Its amazing the high winds we have gotten this year Earnhardt. More days than I can remember of sustained winds in the 40, 50, and even 60 mph. Roads are still closed this morning so far but it looks nice out, may have to go for a walk and get some fresh air and sun

I am visiting in OKC, 7 degrees now, feels cold, then I think when I was on the rig floor in ND, -45 ambient, -65 on the floor, 5 minutes out, 10 minutes in, until all machinery froze and we shut down.
