    Some old friends of ours moved to Des Moines from CA over the summer. They are having a rude awakening right now.

    Damn cold weather killed the battery on my jeep. So for fun I get to pull it tomorrow when the temps get up to -1 during the day. Then put it on a charger over night.

    Did that a couple weeks ago. Be glad it's not a tahoe...frick'n engineers did everything in their power to make a battery change complicated. Took the core in to O'reilys for a swap & when they asked for the make / model, they started laughing. Told them I'm jumping it & bringing it here next go round & the smiles left.

    My fingers are cramping just thinking about having to do it in this cold...we are only like in the 20's with the windchill & had to get another coffee after taking the trash to the curb. I hate this kinda humid cold.

    My joy was thawing out frozen water pipes on one side of the house on Sunday. I got nothing else done.

    The vids of the folks digging snow to get to their seats at the bills game was pretty nuts.

    Thankfully we didn't get a ton of snow on the ground, but it sure did get cold.

    Got up to 1 today when I changed out that battery.

    We had wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour. My driveway was plowed at 10:30 P.M. Friday night. When I left at 7:00 A.M. on Saturday morning there was 10 inches of snow on my driveway. I am located south of Chicago. It was a lot worse up north. They really got hammered north of I-80.

    Because of a retaining wall in my back yard, I have drifts that are 5 feet deep in some places. All blown in from other yards.
