After a warm Christmas in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, we got about 14 inches since Thursday evening. No steak on the barbie tonight!

Had to wear something with some water resistance today.

We woke up to -7 this morning. My dog Max still wanted to go for a walk, but my face got really cold.

The forecast low tonight is -12 with a steady 15 mph wind. Not a good time to be outside without some serious gear. My daughter wears a face mask, heavy gloves, insulated boots and an insulated jumpsuit with a battery heated vest underneath while she’s in the barn tending to the horses.

Minus 34° C, (-30F°) wind chill minus 41° C (-40° F).No new snow. Frozen vehicle, engine turned over but wouldn’t start! Vehicle 5 miles from home, 20-hour wait for a tow! Tow driver asked me to straighten my front wheels. Not possible, so I inserted the ignition key and turned it. Engine started immediately, after having sat for 20 hours at -30° C! Left the engine running while he towed my vehicle 6 miles to a nearby GM dealership. Find out the bad news next week. Just had a province wide warning from our power company about possible blackouts. Record demand on the grid. Tesla owners in panic mode!

I hope the power stays on 🤔

Chilly in Vancouver the past few days, but the forecast is for seasonal temps to return early in the week. -22 with the wind chill last night, but looking more enjoyable tonight

My wife was talking to her friend in Portland, Ore., today. She was talking about the cold, cold weather. It was 12° F! That is -11 degrees C! Some folks would kick if they didn’t have legs!

It feels cold without power. Plus, the Columbia Gorge sends some strong winds.

Yo, are you without power? Sorry to hear it. I heard that part of Portland was down. We got a bunch of snow just north of you!

Edit: oh my word, just saw your pictures. One of my brothers said that they were down trees in Portland but I had no idea it was that wild this time! Hopefully you get the power back up soon, super sorry to hear it

It’s nice this morning, but yesterday not so much. A huge tree right next to my house split and came down in an insane microburst. Part of it wiped out a fence section and busted up the brick and bluestone patio. Not visible in the photos, it took down a telephone pole and knocked out power to half the village (sorry for the inconvenience,
folks…)

The above photo is after the power crew cleared my neighbor’s driveway .
To add insult to injury, my Weber grill got dented!

Thankfully it fell away from my house, or I wouldn’t be sitting here this morning thinking about wristwatches.
