-25 I'll stay right here where the high was a balmy 48*.

Warmed up today it was up to around 0 F. Damn wind could go away anyday now. I'm not liking the outside work right now, seems thats all i got at the moment.

So much stuck in the road the plows can't get through. They called in the army to get it cleaned up. Wonder if they will just blow it all up???

Was trucking up north of North Bay this weekend and got layed over for a day due to roads closed up there. -30* with the wind chill. It was raining in the morning before we got there, turned to snow and dropped about 25*.

I hate snow.

Delivered into Temiskaming (sp?) just into Quebec. Went into North Bay and then took 63 east. Going to be running up there quite a bit.

It's pretty hard to dress for that wind, its harder to work with wires with big furry mitts on too!!

Nice cottage country there. temiskaming, latchford area. The road has been fixed too for the most part.

It is, but I learned early on in my career to learn to manage with gloves on. The other donkey i've been working with takes his gloves off for everything he does. He'll have arthritis for sure.

Welcome back home ! You got it way too soft down there on the gulf coast.

I can't wait to get outside and pick up the build BHA buried under 2 feet of snow, 1hour northeast of Lloydminster with wind howling and snow a blowing (kidding)LOL
