I was in the Portland area early tuesday morning and it was cold AF already. I slipped and almost fell on my ass on some wood steps where I was taking care of business.I put cable chains on the ladies car around 5:00 this morning so she could make it to work since the roads were covered in ice. Then I spent the day swapping out the Hummingbird feeder every half hour so they didn't freeze.
I got this picture as it was getting dark. Not the best picture. But you can see the ice. It's amazing these little birds don't freeze solid like an ice cube. I worry about my critters.

Fortunately we usually don't stay cold for very long. Warmer air from the Pacific ocean usually keeps that arctic air that drops down over much of the country to the east. It's supposed to get into the mid 40's later today and into the 50s by Tuesday. The white Christmas some hoped for should be melted away by tomorrow. That will be a disappointed for some to have missed a white Christmas by one day.I was in the Portland area early tuesday morning and it was cold AF already.

Reminder to self, don’t drive through Portland at 5:30 on a Monday night. Jesus Christ wtf was I thinking.
Highly recommend Goodwill as a place to find high end toasters. (You know, the ones they made before they figured a planned obsolescence date into everything)Ordered a new toaster. Ours has reached it's planned obsolescence date. Need to get a new fan for my veg closet also, same problem.
That would mean I would have to drive to town, I'd rather have my Amazon minions be at my beck and call...Highly recommend Goodwill as a place to find high end toasters. (You know, the ones they made before they figured a planned obsolescence date into everything)
Coffee maker just did that the other day. Made a pot in the morning just fine, went to fire one up afternoon. Nope, nothing. Folgers in the Conex.Highly recommend Goodwill as a place to find high end toasters. (You know, the ones they made before they figured a planned obsolescence date into everything)

Same here. Started a 5 am. So happy it's warming up. Oh merry holidays!I put cable chains on the ladies car around 5:00 this morning so she could make it to work since the roads were covered in ice. Then I spent the day swapping out the Hummingbird feeder every half hour so they didn't freeze.

You're not seeing things. That temp. reading is in C, not F.It’s chilly in the Deep South. But no snow so I’m good.
Merry Christmas.
Get that wood stove goin!
Can't stand the stuff, but partial to at least a cup of rooibos tea during the day...It is great with sugar and milk, over here we even feed it to babies... It is probably the first other thing than milk a child drinks here.I've gone to green tea....much better. Yeah I've been skiing
