    Re: Well how cold is it in your area??

    Been in the mid 30s mostly.  Got what looks like 3" of snow overnight.  Plugged my Diesel in this morning.  I'll go clean up the snow here shortly.  Ugh, I hate February.  We get to it and it seems like we got out of winter relatively easy then we get three snow storms in two weeks.  Not a ton of snow, just annoying and inconvenient.

    Re: Well how cold is it in your area??

    Here in North Texas it's been down right cold struggling to see mid 30's in the day and mid to low 20's at night. Sunday and Monday are going to be brutally cold (for us) with Monday's low being something like 0 F!!! That is crazy for us, I am struggling to remember when it's ever been that low. Down in to the teens sure, but 0?

    A big thanks to Dave68 for sending us all that freezing cold wind from out of the Frazer River Valley down into Washington. The big storm Cab4word67 mentioned is going to hit us tonight. No snow yet but current temp is 28 and dropping. Expecting about a foot by tomorrow afternoon in the area I live in north of Seattle. My 68 is all snug and warm in the garage under a cover.

    Re: Well how cold is it in your area??

    Been mostly low in teens high in the upper 20's. Snowed 4 days in a row last week, 2 to 5 inches every day. started with another 5 inches I think on Tuesday this week. Not enough to say Uncle but my manual snow thrower is getting old. (I'm really starting to feel sorry for Brenda) Been snow on the ground for almost 2 weeks straight, it's been a looooong time since we had snow on the ground that long in western PA.

I went over and put a 6KW gen in so she could have heat and refer, plus a couple lights and phone charger. Power company said first you got to get a lin. electrician to verifie the stub coming out of her roof is all good then when they get out there they will hook up. Problem is there were 4 miles of downed wires on my way over to here hose. They said 10-14 days easy. love the ice storms. NOT

    The "weatherhead" is the "stub" that connects the utility power to the house.  You should be able to tell if it is OK by visually looking at it.  If it not ripped apart, or torn off from the house, it is very likely not damaged.
