mmhmm-not sure what your overnight temperature is supposed to be for either this Wednesday or Thursday night, but I just saw ours for Wednesday night and it is supposed to be -1 degrees. And that is at the local weather office an not the low temps for the burbs. Coldest night/morning yet since I moved here 21 years ago. Ugh. that's my high temp today.

Yea but your about 1100 miles (driving distance) north/northeast of us. Lowest I ever experienced was -25 January, 1994 in Manchester, NH. That was pretty darn cold.

And that is at the local weather office an not the low temps for the burbs. Coldest night/morning yet since I moved here 21 years ago. Ugh. Ice storm just about over. Not too bad though no above freezing temps until the weekend. We're not predicted to get that cold, Tenn. Predicted low for Wednesday night is 10F and Thursday night is 12F. Right now it's 33F and light rain/tiny ice pellets. Predicted to rain through the night, turning to ice as the low is to be around 25F. Possible snow flurries on Wednesday with a high of 39F expected. Just nasty, but not near as nasty as others are suffering. I've decided to loaf right here in the house until it warms up!

I'd rather have a foot of snow and 10 below than a half inch of ice.
Any day. Me, too! There's nothing I hate more than ice storms!

Retired. Plenty of food in the house. No power outages at this moment-none hopefully expected.

I was extremely popular with the critters last night. They couldn't love me enough.

Lol, no defense necessary! You are right, that thermostat shouldn't be on a cold wall, but this isn't normal "cold", either. I think it is an odd choice to make the default "off" in case of extreme low temps. The battery obviously worked enough for the screen to display LO, and I could run thru the scheduled time and temps. It simply stopped following the scheduled program whenever it went below 32. Hmm, is 32 < desired temp? If yes, then default should be "heat on". ETA: No pipes in that room, but we were busy thawing frozen pipes elsewhere last night. I'm confused. Is your entire house that cold, or just that one room where the thermostat is? I confess, it's warmer (in the 20's) here, but I got up and touched one of my outside walls to see if it was cold to the touch out of curiosity after I read your posts. Just that room; really just that wall. It is an interior wall, but the room on the other side is stripped to the studs and unheated while we remodel (in decent weather). So the thermostat is on a single wall surface of plaster with nothing behind it but cold. A high of -2 on Sunday got that wall pretty cold, no idea what the low was that night. The pipes that froze were frozen at the point where they had to go up and over the basement foundation wall (very thick) to get near the exterior wall where the faucet is located. In a future remodelling of the bath I intend to place fixtures on inside warm walls. I will never understand why people insist on placing sinks, etc on outside walls. Or why they scatter them all over the house, rather than centralizing them in the core of the house.

That must be the rock show in Tucson. I always wanted to go to see it. What did you think about it? It was pretty cool. I thought it was one show, but it's actually like 40 different shows all over town. There's a pretty big variety, we went to the convention center Saturday and it was pretty high end jewelry and mineral specimens and some museums had displays set up there as well. Sunday we went to an outdoor one, and overall it was a more affordable selection there. All along I-10 there were big tents set up for different shows, and it looked like most of the hotels had shows as well. So at the hotels, they would have people set up outside and also if you walk down the hallways people would just put a sign in the hallway and open the door to their room and they would have shelves put up all over their room with different rocks for sale. Kind of a unique experience.
I would recommend it if you're interested in that sort of thing. There's a little bit of everything to see, from beads, fossils, Native American art, and a lot of jewelry. Here's a link that lists all the different shows -
Tucson gem shows Thanks. That is what I have heard. Maybe someday I will travel to it. The set-up and how it runs in Tucson reminds me of the Brimfield (Massachusetts) Antique Show. You probably won't ever make it to Brimfield let alone Massachusetts, but the Brimfield Antique Show each year has around 5,000 dealers and their offerings spread out among a number of fields in the town. The show has about 250,000 visitors come to the show looking for antiques and other oddities. They have a spring, summer and fall show, with the summer show being the slowest of the three. Spring is the busiest. I went there once and it was all overwhelming there was so much to see.

Sorry for all you east coasters.
We set a record high for this area today. 66 degrees in Oregon in Feb.
We did yard work all day. The bulbs are starting to bloom.

We went fishing Saturday and I wasn't wearing a coat and was wearing short pants. I went for a 4 day weekend and didn't even take warm clothing it was around 60-65 all weekend. Our ski resorts are pretty much closed since they don't have much snow, one is offering a free day to season ticket holders from any ski resort. The Olympic mountains are looking bare. Too bad they can't put the snow only where people want it like on grass but not on roads and on mountains so we can go visit it if we want to.
