      5 days of record heat here capped off by this forecast. I know a lot of places say they have wonky weather swings but the Midwest truly is next level. It was almost 80° yesterday and tomorrow morning will be in the high teens. Nuts. (I can’t resist a weather rant)

        10-12 inches of snow yesterday that took all morning to dig out from. Today warming to freezing rain temperatures with 5-15mm freezing rain forecasted, followed by and 25mm of rain, with high winds of 100 km/h.

        I’m going to call it now and I’ll be without power for a day or three. Generator has been filled, extra gasoline stored, and chainsaws at the ready.

              @Chap possibly, although one never knows their true limits until they are put into a perilous situation. 😂

                @Chap he may have to operate heavy machinery, so no booze for @goosehd I’m afraid. Safety first!

                  Yes of course you’re right… but maybe a little beer after all the heavy work might be ok 😉

                    …and quite enjoyable afterwards. A cold beer after a few hours of cutting wood is always good.

                      @Chap I'm sure this is acceptable under Canadian health and safety regulations

                        If we go through this relatively unscathed, then a dram of scotch will be enjoyed by the fireplace.

                          Maybe I am too old for the world I live in. Having breakfast in our hotel in Tromsø this morning. Couple of Brits in late 20’s early 30’s having a very loud discussion about the ethics of going to see Seals (I guess in captivity). They decided not to. This discussion was taking place as a very large packed lunch was being made from the breakfast buffet. Then to slam dunk the irony, they left plates of uneaten food on the table when left.

                          I do struggle being civil with arseholes like that.
