thanks for the tip .. will give me chance to set dog houses up with some more cedar and me to bring in some extra wood ... nothing personal but try to keep that carp up there next time will ya...

Thank you for the welcome. It is nice. I've been using WRAL to keep up with home news but never used the GOLO button before last night. I have enjoyed myself. Except now I find myself a little embarassed to be a quote of the day on my first day.

Alaska to Hawaii. From one extreme to the other

Yukon,

-49 F just boggles the mind.

The coldest that I’ve ever personally seen was -12 F up in Boone one winter. The worst that I’ve seen around here was -9 F. I was called out at about midnight to help with the generator at an area hospital. There were going to have a ‘rotating blackout’ scheduled by the utility company at 6:00 AM and a portable generator (large !) would not stay on-line.

I was working in the generator enclosure – with the set running – the wind from the fan was about 40 MPH. One of the hospital folks asked me if I wanted some coffee. YES !

He brought me a cup, I took a sip and sit it down. When I reached for it again it was frozen solid. And that’s only -9 F.

But as cold as I ever want to be ....

May you and yours stay warm tonight ....

(BTW, we got it working in time ....)

Len (aks STS)

Thanks for the info, yukon! If you get a chance, send some of that cold air down this way please.

"his moniker is: meh2"

He is the biggest arrssehole on GOLO. I agree with your assessment. He calls me a fat japanese lady all the time. Says some other stuff too but I ignore his miserable presence. You will find much more happiness on GOLO if you do the same Love..

oh goodness, where are my manners, good Friday morning to you Love! It is the weeeKeeend baby. Hope you have something good planned..8-)

The coldest I ever remember it being around where I live is -4, but I wasn't outside at the time. Tell me -- can you really tell a difference between -50 and 0? I mean, it's easy to tell a difference between 50 and 100 around here, but is there a point where cold is just... COLD?

Awww, thanks Yukon. Partying? Sounds like fun. I plan on breathing this weekend. Life has been so hectic and I am so far behind. Need to get my house in order. Enjoy your day Love..

Incredible! I'd love to experience that at least once. Same goes for 110+ weather, too. Enjoy your weekend -- stay warm!

John, Heres the website for Junior Johnsons Midnight moon.

http://www.piedmontdistillers.com

I just posted a blog too. Maybe you can contact a distributor to get some for you folks up there in Palin Country!

I like her, so that wasn't a jab at you! LOL

Take care, Bart

Did you notice the eye candy in the Catdaddy pic? You didn't comment on her????

Hiya darlin. Stopping by for (((((hugs))))) hope you are doing well.

COLD say it ain't so. Please. I can't take it. I will freeze to death. Where is my summer?

Good morning, my chilly friend. Hope you're well and sassy and have a nice warm day... closer to 0', that is!

Terru

Hey John - I amide soup. Since you are sending your weather to us, I figured soup might help. How are you? Another month or so and you will be back to working the crazy hours?

Stopping by for a (((((hug))))). Dang it is cold. I hate it. Please hold me. I know I ain't gonna make it. HELP it's getting colder. I can feel it. Oh I know quit my whining. LOL Don't ya feel sorry for me? Why was I not born in FL?

Happy Humperz Day John!!!

Hate we didn't get to meet while you were in NC.

WARMMMM?!?!?!?!? At 5. Nope. nada. Thanks for the hugs. My heat has not stopped running all day. Heat pump pumping. I dread my next light bill. Sigh.

All the same. thanks for my hug. Here is one in return. (((((hug)))))

Heck if I know...what was being said?

Well,since most men do mess up fairly regularly, I tend to overlook alot, but do you HAVE to share your cold weather??

I have a strong dislike to the cold. You could be extra nice and keep it. It wouldn't offend me if you didn't share,,,,lol

Well don't know about the moonshine. And the spanking.... well I am not much of a spanker. LOL

Hope you have a great night darlin. Just think about how cold I am down here. I hate being cold.

Oh John! You crack me up. LOL

It's probably toasty here compare to the weather up your way. :)

When were you stationed in Riyadh?

My first husband was 82nd Airborne, and was in Riyadh for awhile during Desert Storm. Man... the stories he had.

p.s. America just wasn't ready for Ron Paul. Sorta like they weren't ready for Perot.

I like Ron Paul. Every time I've seen him speak, I've found him to be thoughtful and articulate.

At least Obama is a good public speaker. Bush has riled my latent English major for years now. LOL

I don't always stay up this late, but I'm a night owl, yeah.

It's warmer there? Dayum. I should come visit. :)

I'm originally from NC. My first husband was also originally from NC. Originally from Fayetteville, he was. I was born in Wilson m'self, but grew up in Wake county.

:)

Oh! And no, I'm not married now. I've been divorced twice. I have, however, been dating the same guy for going on 3 1/2 years now. He's a keeper, methinks. :)

Thank you! It looks like you guys will be thawing out while we freeze. Oh well, it can't always be summer. Hope you are having a great week.

Hmmm I think I would like to see John dressed up and shiny.

(((((hugs)))) to ya darlin. Have a great day today.

Hey John!

HOPE your keepin warm! Miss ya :)

thanks Hun

I actually had tears in my eyes !!! Glad its not as cold "here" then "there" metal and cold dont mix

LOL thought you'd like that !

Hello there! Glad you like the profile pic. Those aren't my hooters, though. ;) I don't think my better half would like it if mine were up there for the world to see, especially since it seems like that picture was taken in a cold room. LOL

Have a good day!

Had to stop by for a (((((hug))))). It is cold. I can't take it. Hold me. Please. Dang car said 14 this morning taking the kids to school. I HATE IT. Save me. Take it back. PLLLLLEEEEAAASE. LOL Hugs darlin.


I looked out at the thermometer early this morning, it was 16 degrees. I said brrrrrrrrr and heck with this, I'm going back to my warm covers for a little while longer. Then I thought, what a wimp, I'll bet if Yukon Jonh was in town, he'd probably think about taking his coat off.

Thanks for your support, take care.

Yes I went had a ball. Wish you had been there.

Not sure where you are in Alaska but it's 23 and falling at my house and 49!!! in Fairbanks. There's just something WRONG with that picture. Have a great weekend.

We are doing great(I think) We still have our jobs, kids are doing well. It's just hard to see people having such a tough time. Hopefully the country will turn around. Meagan and I are headed for the beach today!! No not nuts just meeting some friends. ☺ I think Paul will probably hold down the couch today and excersise(sp) his finger on the remote!! Again glad your furbaby is ok...you guys have a great weekend.

OMG, that would have freaked me out. I'm not a big fan of flying anyway...no control.

Goodness! John. What a story. I would have taken me 2 hours to stand up after the landing, so there wouldn't have been any hurry to get me to a gate. LOL! How scary. I don't even know what to say.

Let's see, according to my news, it's 19 degrees here. Thank god for heat pumps! I actually have a tennis match to play later today. I hope it warms up just a little between now and then.

Thanks for sharing your story with me. Sorry we didn't get to meet when you were in Raleigh...but I'm not in Raleigh. I'm north of Atlanta.

You are such a sweetheart. I am hoping for a super day as well. It is freezing here and as a "summer lovin" girl, I am a lil chilly!! LOL I always enjoy the link and being able to see the sky when you post. Stay warm and keep an eye on that beautiful doggie!

Hello John. My heart would have stopped if I had seen one of my pets in that danger. I am so glad Taz made it!!

John! It was 11 above here the other day...

And it was FIFTY-TWO above in Fairbanks??

Give us back Al Gore!

YJ,

So glad that Taz was alright. He would be a permanent inside resident at my house after that!

Enjoy that warm spell!

Terri

Good morning! Are you still having that heat wave? We've warmed up a tad... too late for several plants in my greenhouse!

I thought that the sledding species of dogs did in fact need to stay outside, but was making some polite Southern conversation with you!!! The malamutes & huskies, etc. are such gorgeous breeds, but I've always known that they would fare better someplace other than down here.

Have a grand week. I'm sure hoping for that snow. We need something to cover up the mud!

Terri

John, Aruba is not happy. And when Aruba ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. You keep that in mind, Mister! :) Good grief!

I am as ready as I can get. Have not been to the store but I have 1/2 loaf bread and 1/2 gal milk. Plenty of saltines. LOL Now the only thing I need is a fireplace. Maybe someday. I am sure my boys are going to have a ball in it. Sigh I just want warm.

Hey John, looks like we got about an inch...My Daughter in greenville is happy...Pitt CC is closed. Paul and I are headed to work..have a great day when you wake up!

Hi John, well we got our snow and I even made some yummy snow cream. Now it's all of 34 and the ice is melting from the roof, The roads in the morning will be a terrible slippery slope I'm afraid. Glad don't have to be out in it. Was pretty though. took lots of pics, as did everyone else and posted to my image gallery. Now all warm and toasty inside. Take care

Wow what a beautiful pic. I was actually thinking about you today while walking through the snow. Imagine that ; )

You and I have differences when it comes to politics...no arguement there. George Bush #1!!!!!!!!!!

It's always a pleasure to read your posts because they don't descend into name calling and rancor. And yes, I am enjoying the snow - we don't get enough of it here for me to get tired of it as I did when I was living farther north.

Hiya darlin. Checking in with ya and giving you warm (((hugs))). You would be proud of me. I went out in the snow 2x today with the boys. Now I just want to curl up someplace warm.
