You mean all of you South of me aren't getting the deep freeze seeping down from us here in the far North??? I'm jealous ya'll are able to get started so early!

Guess you heard the Green Bay vs Forty Niners are going to play in sub zero there on Sunday! Don't think even the hardiest GB fans are going to enjoy that.

Looks like our thaw is going to be mid Summer this year... We haven't been above zero for weeks now. Sunday is supposed to be around forty below with -50 or less with the windy chills! They are still forecasting sub zero for the next ten days or so... UGHHH!

Guessing our garden will planted around July 4th, gardening Alaska style here in N.MN!

Whoof. Prayers up for ya'll. I couldn't take that kind of temp. It's chilly here, but we're above freezing.

I was telling my daughter today that tobacco seeds had to be sown at the end of January, because it's about 90 days and stuff will be going out in the big garden.

I watch a youtube channel where the folks are in Union Maine. They have about 3’ of snow on the ground and all over their cars and trucks. He needs his truck but the bed is full of snow. He was in his garage working in -10. Not me.

HaHa. I spent one year in Vermillion S. Dakota. That convinced me to never live further north than Missouri.

When you finally thaw out, the warm sunshine will feel pretty good. Actually, if I were you, I’d have a big wall of thermal glass/garden room style or lots of thermal windows facing due South. So that I could lay down on the couch and take an afternoon nap in the warm sunshine whenever it happened to shine.

There’s no way I would be in a stadium at your current temps.

“Guess you heard the Green Bay vs Forty Niners are going to play in sub zero there on Sunday!”

I remember many years ago, the Cowboys played Green Bay in sub zero temps.

Yes, my southeast Texas weather gets warm really fast and by the middle of March the warm starts. From March we get into the 90s by the middle of June. I am positive about that, because our Republican Convention is always in June and the heat at convention just killed me every time. Only newbies to convention wear dress clothes. By July we are 100 and above up to 107. That's when I'd prefer Alaska - July, August.
