20 degrees at my house this morning and i'm about 10 miles from the gulf of mexico. maybe the cold will set back the mosquito population. |

It was 1*F this AM at my house, coldest I can ever remember anywhere, any time. Wind was brutal overnight, too.
Very thankful to have R16 in the walls, and a garage for the car. |

I'm not sure that the cold has any impact on mozzie populations. The mosquitoes are thick in the Cascades every summer and they are under a dozen feet of snow for 6 months of the year.
Hang in there folks. This is a winter the old timers in the midwest will recognize. |

Yup. A week of rain, rain, only interupted by more rain and a few degrees above the freezing mark. Perfect riding weather  |

We almost ran out of temperature last night. It went down to 4 F. 9 is the projected high with a low of 2 tonight. We're on the verge of running out of temperature completely and may end up running a deficit, caught in the polar vortex.
Trainer in the basement. Too much salt on the roads for outside. |

Has anyone experienced cryoseism yet?
Several reports from Canada today. When rocks crack from freezing weather, that's when you know its really cold. |

That's about what we had in Bolivar. Unusually cold for this area. Back to the mid-30 today.

Worse than a frozen penis? A thawing out frozen penis. I did a cross country ski race in the late 70's in Winnipeg into a headwind for 15 km at -35C or so. I was fine until thawing occurred.
