    53F here in Boston under sunny skies...

    but the weather map shows that this "warm spell" is about to be pushed off the bed by a cold front over Mark Hunt's house right about now. God, I love weather....

    You can see my house from there?!?!?!

    Can you see the snow that's falling? 38 degrees here and falling. Overcast and light snow. Maybe I'll "Google Earth" Brads house and look in the windows. Mark H To Learn More About This Professional, Click Here to Visit Their Ad in "Find A Professional"

    I don't mind cold, but we have different definitions ;) Not sure if I could handle -46°F. Haven't forgotten about the "freeze-up" calculation Weezbo. Have been very busy.

    I skied at Stowe, VT years ago. The thermometer at the top was sitting on the pin at -40. The wind chill, according to the sign, was -107. I wore ever piece of clothing I brought for the weekend. Skied all day and only made 4 runs. The rest of the time was spent warming up in the top and base lodges. No gondolas in those days either.
