Sounds like it could be a good line in a country song.
I think I'll wear shorts this afternoon, sunny and 70.

Thursday (Thanksgiving Day in the US) high of 30* F.

Could be a long winter...

I can’t say if your weather is like ours or ours like yours, Mike. 16°F today, but later it is expected to climb to 36°. Those forties temps are long gone though. This may be the calm before the storm. The snow tires went on this week, I picked up my first ice pick for $&&#%*! snow plow deposits, and I found my block heater cord so I’m ready. :P

I probably won't turn on the furnace for another month.

It warmed up today which might not be a good thing.
There was slush on the roads due to slightly warmer than freezing temps and then it rained, making things even more soupy.
Trouble is, it will very likely freeze tonight which means it will be hell out there tomorrow.
If glare ice isn't bad enough, try it with built in ankle-busters.
Makes for a real treat when walking out to the car.

Time to get those wrap around springs for the soles, Matt, or a pillow for the butt. Been there done that. Take care, and good luck. :wink:

It's not just the walking.
It's also the driving.
When slush freezes it makes the last sets of tire tracks through it into ruts which are not easy to get out of when the ruts are made out of hard but slippery ice.
You get caught in one of those, you are following it whether you want to or not.
I got out onto the street in front of my place with a snow push-shovel as the temperature was falling and scraped the slushy ruts smooth for 100 feet in both directions from my house.
I witnessed a slush-caused fender bender when I was a kid that I never forgot.
Two vehicles heading toward each other got caught in the same frozen slush-rut and had a low speed head-on as the rut steered them both directly at each other despite both drivers trying to brake and turning their steering wheels.
When they impacted, they both got knocked out of the rut and with their steering wheels cranked over they both slid sideways into parked cars.
A two car collision turned into five damaged cars.
If I can help it, that's not going to happen in my front yard.
