How's everybody handling this storm

Near record lows here in Oregon. I haven't worn long johns for 20 years, but I own several pair now and wear them 24/7. That's how I'm coping with it!

Oh, and I had to buy an ice scraper after breaking my credit card. Haven't owned an ice scraper in years either.

Well, goodness, you need a BLACK CARD[tm]. Only a $500 annual fee and interest rates that would make Vinnie the loan shark blush, but it's VERY EXCLUSIVE and made of carbon fiber. You'll never break that sucker.

I'd be smug about being 1500 miles from the storm if my wife hadn't been flying in it over the last 24 hours.

It's hitting low 20s here in the Central Valley, something that only happens briefly and a few times a decade. We've had these temps for a week, along with very rare snow. My dogs are completely baffled by their frozen water bowl outside. "But gosh, Dad, it looks just like water! What's the joke?"

We never got any falling weather here but had a low of 18° last night and there is a light but very cold wind blowing this morning. The forecast is for rain Friday and over the weekend but it is never correct, so I will wait and see what we get.
