Last week's forecast of snow and ice fizzled out here in central GA. But the forecast for tonight calls for some snow and icing conditions. To prepare for that I have some Sriracha chili in the slow cooker that will be ready later tonight and carry me through the weekend.

 

Unfortunately, the three day weekend I had planned is off as I need to punch (inspect) rooms that the painters are turning over on Sunday. But that's OK since it's too cold to be outdoors. I'll try again next weekend.

Getting our money's worth with the bitterness this winter.

Lake effect snow and cold temperatures will continue tonight.

Expect wind chill readings by morning to be several degrees below zero across most of northern Michigan ~ Again.

May be an image of map, sky and text

Woke up this morning to -35C outside. Sure glad the wind wasn’t blowing or it would’ve felt a lot worse on the face. The old truck sure did growl and complain when I fired it up for work!

I was letting my dog out at 7am and I heard my neighbor start his truck. That thing sounded ROUGH when he started it too lol. First it squealed, then coughed, and when it finally turned over it sounded like it was gonna blow up!

Once again, the prognosticators were wrong. No snow here, but the temperature was below freezing all night. There are black ice warnings out, but I'll never know because I have no reason to head out today. It's kind of nice having nothing to do today except a few chores around the house.

They are most always wrong. I hit one tiny ice patch today, that’s it

 I'm doing what I can to survive winter up here in the Midwest or southern north? Whatever you'd call Iowa . Doing my normal stuff...watching and reading tons of fishing stuff and filling in gaps in the arsenal..just got a new jerk bait rod in last week and I have a jig rod on the way. Normally I'd ice fish to help hold me over but I'm just not feeling it at all.

 Luckily between my new role at work and my diet\lifestyle change I've got things to focus on which helps. If we are lucky up here like last year I've only got 5 weeks til ice out..realistically it will likely be more like 8. Positive note I've been doing a moderate keto style deal since just before Christmas and I've lost 12lbs in 5 weeks..plus my knee and back are starting to feel better.

I hear ya. I just joined a pickle ball league. I play pretty much every other sport with a racquet already.

That seems to be a growing sport. 

Looks like something even my questionable knees could handle.

I play pretty much everything else with a racquet and this looks interesting so I'm going to give it a try.  It helps me stay in shape and definitely beats running on the treadmill.

Let me know how you like it, I wouldn't mind looking into it further. ?

Certainly been colder this winter than it was last one so far. Fall was very warm but January has been brutally cold.

The best part is when the weather guy says "anything beyond 5 days is like throwing a dart anyways."

He's optimistic - beyond 36hrs is 'educated guess'...beyond 72 hours is dart-throwing.

 

That's from my dad who was a meteorologist in the Navy.
