Title: Eastern North America....Members
Post by: GrayBeard on January 12, 2011, 11:25:56 am: How is everyone doing?
Did the big snow and storms get you?
Are you digging out and staying warm?

Here in the Mid-West we got about 2.5 inches and extreme cold (for us) and they damn near shut down the Universe!
It is 10:30 a.m. and about 16? with predictions of this holding for several more days.
No way I can work in the shop/garage!

I have been in Florida when the temp dropped into the upper 40's and the folks down there were in a state of absolute panic!
I was running around in a light windbreaker and the 'natives' were in parkas and mackinaws!

But that was back in the days when there were no such things as 'dual purpose heating/cooling units' in the hotels and 'auto courts'!!!

But you all are too young to remember those days back in the late 40's and 50's....

It has been in the low 50's all day. :)

Post by: Mainewoods on January 13, 2011, 06:55:26 am: No problems here on midcoast Maine! Got approximately 10" of snow. It was wet and heavy, so there are some tree branches to clean up, but the power never went out. Hope others in the area faired as well!
