You should talk to the guys in Fairbanks, where -65° isn't uncommon.<br /><br />And we bought a new snowblower shortly after buying our house in the mountains. I don't <i>do</i> shoveling. :)Rev.

Firefighters are not fans of cold and dry humidity as it makes it harder to get the fire out. <br /><br />Prayers for the folks who were sent off to the hospital, especially those who were medevaced to Seattle. Burn patients have it the worst, they are prone to more pain, respiratory and infection complications than other folks. They will have a long road ahead of them in getting better. <br /><br />And don't be shoveling the wet heavy stuff...take it from someone who did it for years in upstate NY...snowblower only is the way to go!! Putting out your back is NOT recommended!! Neither is a heart attack!!
