Got back to NC just in time for a forecast low of +8 tonight, I'm afraid our heat pump just doesn't like it below 20. But on the other hand I do have a very sexy and toasty wife to cuddle up with, plus three cats who pile on to too.

And I was b!tching about it being 22 this morning!!! lol. For my area, it's been a very cold winter so far. We've already seen 2 significant snow falls (and we're one of those towns that basically has to shut down with any kind of accumulation b/c there's no such thing as winter road crews/equipment here). Usually the snow is here one day, then melted off the next. We still had snow/ice on the roads around here for over a week, which is crazy unheard of. My HHR was solidly stuck in my driveway (46k miles on the stock tires, I didn't really try too hard to get it out), and stayed there for about 4 days, which forced me to drive my 77 Dodge M880 to work (at 11mpg's on a 65 mile commute 1-way). Anyway, the moral of this story.... Where's all this Global warming I've been hearing about. Not to mention, it was a pretty mild Summer here last year too..

It's twelve her currently. We have a "Code Blue" in Buffalo for homeless shelters and last night I volunteered. Nothing glamorous, just got to make a few hundred sandwiches. It snowed like crazy and I had a blast driving home...in the Jeep. Gonna be worse tonight.
