Well we had a few days of warmer weather now we will have about four days of colder weather.  Tonight and tomorrow and maybe the next day the temperatures will go down to below 0 old scale. Then look for a warm up a bit.  Ok with me as I don’t have to stoke the old wood furnace as much when it warms up some. But for the next few days, up through the night is going to be called for.  Have  a great day.

Just thought I would take a look for weather signs while out for a walk the other day and all point to a few days of nice weather starting tomorrow, so no reason now not to get out there and go for a walk yourselves.  Don’t plant your tomatoes yet though.    Enjoy.

Keep your headlights clear with car wax! Just wipe ordinary car wax on your headlights. It contains special water repellents that will prevent that messy mixture from accumulating on your lights – lasts 6 weeks.

Squeak-proof your wipers with rubbing alcohol! Wipe the wipers with a cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol or ammonia. This one trick can make badly streaking & squeaking wipers change to near perfect silence & clarity.

Ice-proof your windows with vinegar! Frost on it’s way? Just fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water & spritz it on all your windows at night. In the morning, they’ll be clear of icy mess. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which raises the melting point of water—preventing water from freezing!

Prevent car doors from freezing shut with cooking spray! Spritz cooking oil on the rubber seals around car doors & rub it in with a paper towel.  The cooking spray prevents water from melting into the rubber

Fog-proof your windshield with shaving cream! Spray some shaving cream on the inside of your windshield & wipe if off with paper towels. Shaving cream has many of the same ingredients found in commercial defoggers.

De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitiser! Just put some hand sanitiser gel on the key & the lock & the problems solved!

Kind of interesting for us weather buffs. Snow is on the ground in 49 out of 50 states – every one except Florida. Forecasters described the storm as a fast-moving and severe, where air pressure has dropped alarmingly quickly. It is characterised by heavy snow and winds thanks to a jet stream extending unusually far south.

Don’t think I have heard of such a thing in all my born days.

Well thought I would say hello and wish you all a Happy New Years. Wife and I are down with a cold right now, not sure where we caught the thing but in today’s world it is pretty hard not to catch one or two a year. Although this is first cold for my wife in seven years and first one for me in three years so guess we are doing ok.  At any rate on another note raining here today and temperatures at 45 old scale.  Got rid of some ice build up on my roof which is a good thing.  Also will melt some snow on the lakes now so the ice can get thicker and the snowmobiles can get to having some fun.  Colder weather is heading our way though starting tomorrow.  Today we are taking down our Christmas tree as it has started to shed some so house is slowly getting back to normal.  Have  a good day.
