There are places getting ice and of a lot snow today that rarely get any at all. I lived in Charleston, SC for over 20 years and saw icing once and 2" of snow once. Our neighbor there said they got 8" of snow today on top of freezing roads. That city completely shuts down with even a hint of ice because of all of the bridges over a slew of waterways.

My daughter is in Savannah Ga and sent me some pics of some very old oak trees covered in ice and snow today.

Old trees that have weathered through a lot, but maybe not much snow over the generations.

Last night we went from 10degsF to a more manageable 34degsF tonight.
What a difference! No gloves needed tonight in the shed. Actually feels warmer when exiting. Just an insulated hoodie over my bib overalls and flannel shirt, rather than all that and my carhart jacket. My shop lights have the wrong fluorescent bulbs apparently. They're not cold weather functioning. Tonight, most were back on and at full strength. Out of 4 I had got down to 1 light just barely shining. I cannot believe 34degs feels comfortable, but after -10, it is great!

I changed all of my shop lights to LED and they have worked good. We got back up into the 30's this afternoon but the wind still had the water freezing. I also can do without those -temps also.

Yeh Dave this evening was the first day in quite a while I didn't come in with near numb fingers....I had plans to get the chaisaw out and do some cutting and burning today, but there was still a chill in the wind and stayed in out of it. This next week is suppose to be near normal, but more Cold on the way for next wknd.

Just read through your journal so I can "watch" your thread now. I find it interesting as I learn more about each person on BYH.

Hope you and the family are staying warm and safe through the winter blast we just got!

Me too. The guy we bought from had eight 150W incandescents near the top of the wall, about 12' up. That means half the light was lost up into the peak of the barn. I replaced the single socket fixtures with "aim-able" two socket fixtures and LED spots. Pretty much now lighting the entire workshop using the amount of power one of those 150Ws took. I also have 2 two "bulb" 4 foot LED fixtures. And I replaced all the stupid CFLs in the rest of the barn. Nothing like hitting a switch on a cold day/night and getting ... a pale pink glow for several minutes.

I too am slowly replacing all the CFLs in my home with LEDs.
