    Had to mound up leaves on my coffee trees, and cover with tarps....brought in my avocado trees (pots), and strawberries. Mangos already bloomed, thanks to the reverse Global Warming (cold November/warm december), theyll all die....no mangoes to eat come August.

    Cancelled trip to Magic Kingdom, as it will hover around 50 today.........How rough is it in your neck of the woods, guys??

    Well, yesterday was 17 below zero in Geneva, IL. Today though, the cold front pushed out and we've soared all of the way to 5 degrees this morning. But it's windy, so the windchill probably puts us back at 17 below. Sorry to hear about your mangos, but my mangos are frozen too!! Can't wait to get back to Pass-A-Grille soon though!

    Thursday night/Friday morning it was somewhere around -12F, windchill of -25F. It was -7 when I left for work two hours late since my girls school was cancelled due to the cold.
    Today we're having a heat wave, supposed to get to 20-25F.
    This sucks....

    Awww c'mon, niklas (slapping right thigh hard with right hand), what are you complaining about.....you have the pacific ocean mitigating the harsh arctic blast that usually hits the middle of the continent. You are just a complainer.......LOL

    Thats the price you pay for living up there in the dreary , cloudy, damp, foggy, grey (gray?), misty Northwest. At least most of yous have a high paying high tech job/career to offset it all......
