Yes, she made it home safe and sound. It turns out I did not cast, but I did have a new mould show up this evening, so I WILL be casting tomorrow morning!

My youngest son is in the army at Ft Bragg, NC. His wife got an internship to help her get her teaching Lic. here in Mn. She and my granddaughter flew home. My oldest son and I flew down there and drove a 24' Budget truck through that mess. I did the driving and he did the navigating, entertainment selection, hotel bookings by phone. Left there Friday at @ 1800 hrs and didn't get home until yesterday at 1600 hrs. Wasn't too bad until we got to Terra Haute, In. Black ice in some spots, well marked by cars and trucks in ditches. Heavy snow on all of I90 and I94. Lots of "cowboys" in semis thinking their rigs could handle it. Had one Chevy PU spin out infront of us. We got lucky and had a new Freightliner diesel truck with real snow tires on the rear. Saved the kids some money but I swear I will never fly again. Our first flight out of duluth was an hour late leaving and caused us to miss our connecting flight in Atlanta. Delta gave us vouchers for a room and we couldn't get the truck until 0900 hrs on Friday, so only lost a couple hours of loading time. Quite the adventure.

17 here tonight, 12 Saturday & Sunday morning. That's right cold for here especially this early in the year.

Weather guessers calling for -15. They say that here "many are cold but few are frozen".

We primarily heat with wood... got it all put up but it goes fast below zero.

Is there life after wood? Dad burned it, I burn it, it would feel funny not to have the chore of wood and stove. I was 10 before I knew my name was Chris and not "Fetch Wood".

Looking for a high of 3 tomorrow and -23 for a low. Good thing I am not at work where the high is to be -3 and the low -30.

8 right now, heading for the range shortly. Promised Ben some time back I would
test BR and BLL for cold weather. Not much wind, so today is as good as it will
get for awhile with real cold weather coming in with sleet, freezing rain, snow, etc.
May get a chance over the weekend to use the snow blower. Beats mowing grass.

We are preparing for the one thing worse than snow and cold, freezing rain. Expected to get a light coating of ice followed by an inch or two of white stuff. All that and sub zero temps and wind.

Hey Ian, wanna come visit?o_O

That's our biggest concern down here.....usually get freezing rain then a coating of snow that insulates it. Good thing is only happens once or twice a year.
