Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr



Brrrrrrrrrr it's -14 C .... 6 F in North Iowa !


We had "Sundogs" that halo around the sun this morning. Sundogs are relatively rare occurrences, and they can only be seen in certain conditions. They require a high sun angle, cold temperatures, and light cirrus clouds that contain millions of plate-shaped ice crystals. I pulled on a sweater under,my sport-coat this morning.

MUTTs Inc have it too good at your house. Bac'n'eggs, toast for breakfast? They are so spoiled. To be honest, I had scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast too. JD will love the special biscuits I am sure. Treat him well; you need to keep him around for a long time yet.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JD.

Was a nice 52F here today, but the wind switched to the North after lunch and cold weather is headed our way, along with an inch of snow flurries tomorrow. I have to go to the city so I hoe the roads aren't too slippery.

Our rural roads have some ice & snowpack on them making them rather hazardous, however, the main roads are relatively cleared. It's just too cold for salt to work on the ice. Feeling pretty sick here tonight. I am gonna try to go lay down with birthday boy and get some sleep.
