Default Scott, How cold was it in MN this morning?

It was -5 today here in Ohio! The only good thing is we got about 6 inches of snow. This summer I took the tractor and made a 500 ft sledding/tubing hill on the back side of the prop. Kids (and me) have been having a blast. Built a big fire pit. It is tons of fun. Really, it is! I swear it is fun in sub zero temperatures.....

I feel sorry for you SoCal boys with your nice even warm temperatures with no snow to plow and road grime dripping in the garage from the cars, cleaning ice of the windows....

Darren

Funny you should ask, Darren!

It was so stupid this morning that I had to take a pic! And to think, I'm in tropical southern Minnesota.

Wow - that's crazy. My poor little car was cursing at me when I turned the key this morning.

We were in the -5 to -7 range.

I have live in Texas most all of my life, I could not handle having to deal with that kind of weather. There is another world that revolves around snow and the cold weather that I dont know a thing about.
