Charlottetown weather …
Steady rain today , plus 5C then into the freezer for a few days . I was going to speak at Rotary on Wednesday and expected a million or so people to show up but with the forecast we’ll be indoors and the room holds a hundred at best . I’m always getting the shaft it seems .

Yes, Warm here today as well. Lots of white goo coming overnight into early morning and then into the deep freeze. Again!
We are moving into out coldest 4-6 weeks. I guess I should not complain as daytime highs are 50-60F.
Heading for about 8 hours tonight at and below freezing. It’ll slightly warm up tomorrow briefly, but then drop below freezing for perhaps 24 to 36 hours. I’m turning water off tonight at the meter. If power holds we will be fine, not risking pipes though. Brought down from storage our winter prep gear, wool clothing and a 1972 vintage Swiss sleeping bag.
Finnish/Estonian wool sweaters, mittens and socks! Overcoat, boots and hats also ready. Bring on the Siberian arctic blast we’re ready in Houston! Might have snow pics Tuesday! LoL.

The optimistic forecast for Tuesday….
Temps in Celsius. It’s going to be cool till next weekend basically.

Here in Warren, Arkansas, our high today was 37F. Going into the deep freeze tonight for the next three days. Just praying the power stays on. We will have the faucets dripping for the duration of the freezing temps.
Even north Florida is going to receive snow and sleet. That is rare but not unheard of. In southeast Florida, the temps will fall into the 40's. That will cause the Iguanas to fall out of the trees.

Prince Edward Island will hit bottom on Wednesday , 8F / -16C . The beaches will be busy though with seals pupping .
My place is all electric ..if the grid fails which is rare I switch to 87 octane power . Honda of course , but Triumph did make portable gen sets during WW 2 . They were 500 cc fan cooled units of aluminum construction , barrels and heads included . The finning was square in shape and the exhaust ports exited straight out the front . After the war the top ends found their way into factory made racers , actually to the dismay of upper management which was not pro racing at the time. They made 40 + hp and won a few races against teams which had full factory support . This one’s seat springs are missing.
Didn’t get everything done. Still need to drain the water heater, but water is turned off and the system is not pressurized and pipes drained. I’ll drain the water heater tomorrow. We spent the day making food we don’t need to heat if the power goes out.
stay safe
Below freezing here , windy and my green grass has about 6 inches of snow on it . What we would call a mild snow storm I suppose . Schools are canceled but back in the day we’d have been trudging through the snow toward scholastic excellence .

A nice snowstorm is just wrapping up here in Fredericton - got about 20cm. Heading into a deep freeze for a couple of days with a feels like -28c tonight.
At least I can get the cross-country skis back out now that we have some snow on the ground!!

Started draining water heater. It’s really slow, so left the line hooked and draining. Amazingly the water was lukewarm even having turned off the power yesterday.
Also drained the washer water lines. It’s about all I can do.

Yup. +5C yesterday and rain. The deep freeze sucks. Everything under the snow is still wet and soft. As soon as you plow it off or clear it freezes and becomes slick.
I prefer temps that get well below -10C before snow. It was always safer with good snow cover. The worst is always near freezing and fluctuations between thawing and freezing. I like either well above or well below. LoL.
I agree; but I prefer well above freezing - like 20 C.
