Damn Cold!

Damn cold is colder than brrrrr cold. It's -8 right now on the gauge and -25 wind chill with clear skies. We have a 12 mph wind out of the North. Supposed to get up to +8 today, a biggie. Then after midnight, start snowing till noon tomorrow. Light weight stuff and 2-3" by the time it's done. Maybe low 20s on Wed? No better the rest of the week. So far we only have received a light skift of snow.

Guess it will be a fine day to write Christmas cards. The DishTV installer is suppose to come out today and hang a new dish on my existing tripod and run a short line between the 2 dishes. All the rest of the work is inside programming my HD set in the front room. Get that done and we'll have all of our local channels in HD. Doubt the installer will come today.

Haircut and grocery list tomorrow and work for the company on Wed. Will hook up the snow plow blade to my ATV and sounds like I'll use it tomorrow after my haircut. 50" wide blade that will tilt either way and up and down with my winch control. It's 250 ft. to the county road, 1/2 paved and 1/2 gravel. 3" of light stuff goes quick, about an hour. Then catch the train Thursday morning to Denver and back yet Thursday.

Have a good day.
