Nice crisp sunny morning, -7 with wind chill of -17. Might have to put the long johns on.
The roads have enough snow on them for ski doos; sadly it brings out the ones with pea soup for brains, idiots speeding around all hours of the night and early morning, not to mention in the day. The roads are narrow enough and hard enough for some to navigate without having to worry about pea soup brains coming at you at 50k and hour.
The ponds have been frozen for several weeks allowing people to go off wooding, hunting.
The Astron is on its way north, some say there is another trip to make, but will wait and see on that. If this cold keeps up people with things like drinks etc may be in for a few unexpected frozen treats.
We have our fuel prices frozen too. It costs $1.26 a liter for gas. Heating oil costs $096.88 a liter at the pump, plus taxes brings it to $1.1141 a liter. So a 45 gallon drum cost $228.60 plus delivery, ouch.

Holy crap. That's about a 100 per cent rise in less than a decade on stove oil, isn't it?
It's about 50% in five years, .64 in 2001 to .9688 now. So it would be resonable to think 100% in a decade.
Delivery was a lower rate back then too.
