It's Cold This Weekend! Where Are You?

I'm in Canada, again. "Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in."
Spent last weekend 150 miles north of Toronto, on Georgian Bay, waiting to pick up a pre-dispatched load on Monday. That was fun. Was in South Carolina just long enough to get some sleep, then right back up outside Montreal. Had a nice little night time trip across the half-plowed mountain roads through the White Mountain National Forest then dropped south of Portsmouth and Kittery, then got a load to London, ON, delivered this morning. It's about 15 degrees here.
It's about 75 in the van, though. Espar heater.

It's what we call cold. About 35. Sunday the low is 19 and the high is 36. I'm at home of course.
I am here in frosty Central Oregon. It feels like about 40. (Not too bad for the area). Luckily we made it back across "The Pass" with decent weather.. ("Chains....we don't need no stinkin chains...") We've been running a lot of West Coast lately...not making a ton of money...but staying warm...and when we were freezing our *%$#s off in Salt Lake City and Denver, I could have kissed the Onan generator inventor!

I'm at home sitting in my tax deductible office. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the temperature is about 70 degrees. Outside, pretty much the same story except the temperature is -3 degrees. That's probably the high for the day. Not bad considering it was -19 degrees when I got up this morning.

wife came down to visit at the j on 65 south of indy. 11 and minus 5. at home it is 1 and minus 28. still not minus 35f though. the apu is working great(knock knock). put the windshield drape up and had ice this morning. went to the back lot to keep the wind off the side of the rockin' box.
had a good blue cheese buger at cheese burger in paradise at the 103. hard to find and of course no big truck parking. very nice to have the quiet tdi again.
