It is supposed to be bad in Texas this weekend.  By Texas standards of course.  Sub freezing and Ice/snow/sleet.  No shooting for a while.
Have a Nice Day
If already having a nice day please disregard

I hate it too.

My Grandparents move out of New Brunswick to escape the cold.

I moved South to excape as well but I think it is catching up.

A very short term temporary duty has brought my USMC nephew to San Antonio from Okinawa on the 28th for a few days so he's renting a car and hoping to drive up to see Uncle Sapper.  My brother and sister-in-law are also driving from New Mexico to see their son.  If it all works out we're going to spend a day at the range Paul, it's not every day one gets an opportunity to learn from a Federal law enforcement firearm training officer (my brother) and a Marine Corps designated marksman (my nephew), weather allowing, of course.  Hope to see you there Paul.

48℉ here.
we're supposed to get 0% of 4.3" today, then another 100% 4.9" of actual snow on top of the non existent stuff we'll get today!
Wifey, sitting on the other side of the house is getting 11~14"
I'll just watch the map & the sky!Wink

Sapper,
That sounds like a really fun day out! 
I hope you get some good weather for the range!  And plenty of .303 to enjoy!
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Asheboro is 47/27F.

Good day to get a piggie.

Still cold in a tree stand.

Next year I will add windows, a roof, and a heater.

Thanks for the kind sentiments guys, weather notwithstanding it'll be a great few days no matter.  The family is very proud of my nephew who 5 years ago was floundering around a bit deciding what to do after graduating high school.  He decided to join the Marine Corps and has turned into a high speed - low drag warfighter.  He was recently transferred to a new unit after completing the fast-roping from tilt rotors when the CO of that unit saw how gung-ho he is and wanted my nephew in his unit.  

Now back to the weather:  That Winter storm has hit us in North Texas, it's currently 28 degrees and snow has just started to fall.  My wife and I have said prayers that ERCOT keeps the power on this time!  In Feb. of 2021 we lost power for 3 days, several pipes burst and we ended up living in a hotel for over a year.
