I don't know how you do it. I saw -18F in the mountains of NM, and that sucked pretty hard. Here at home, I don't bother wrapping exposed outside steel water pipes that aren't on the north side of the house.

Different strokes, and you live in pretty country. But I'm wearing shorts this time of year. Bleak and searing as it is in August.

Was ice fishing last week.

One lake here had 24” inches of ice during the dead of winter. We all bought cordless drill adapters for our ice augers. My 18 volt Makita did yeoman’s work this winter. Haven’t seen the ice this thick around here since the early 80’s.

Temps starting to moderate now as I’m figuring winter is finally letting go of us. Would not be surprised to see the ice on some of the bigger lakes there at least until mid April.

Keep in mind this is all about 60 miles north of NYC not someplace in far upstate NY.

Take Care my FRiend.
