Sunday, February 16, 2025:
- Afternoon: Well, batten down the hatches, ‘cause the snow’s coming’ in thick—5-8 inches (12-20 cm) of it. Wind’s howling’ like an old hound dog at the moon. High around 17°F (-8°C), but with that wind, it’ll feel colder than it has any right to.
- Evening: Once the sun ducks out, the temperature’s gonna take a nosedive—-4°F (-20°C). Good night to sit by the wood-stove and let the storm do its thing.
Monday, February 17, 2025:
- Daytime: Now this here is what I call real winter. High around 10°F (-12°C), but don’t let that fool ya—between the wind and the damp air, it’s gonna feel a whole lot meaner.
- Nighttime: Down to -6°F (-21°C), so if your truck ain’t plugged in, you might as well start talking’ nice to it now. Might even need a good ol’ shot of ether in the morning.
Tuesday, February 18, 2025:
- Daytime: Bit of sun trying’ to poke through, but it’s still gonna be cold enough to freeze the tail off a brass monkey. High around 7°F (-14°C).
- Nighttime: A deep freeze setting’ in at -8°F (-22°C). The kind of night where even the whiskey in the shed might get a little stiff.
Wednesday, February 19, 2025:
- Daytime: Feels almost warm after the last few days—17°F (-8°C) with a bit of sun trying’ to remind us spring ain’t too far off.
- Nighttime: Down to 2°F (-17°C)—still chilly, but at least we ain’t breaking’ records.
Now, I know a lotta folks these days use Celsius, but I still stick to Fahrenheit. Why? ‘Cause it just makes sense! When I see 32°F, I know that’s when the ground’s gonna get slicker than a greased pig. When it hits 100°F, I know it’s hot enough to cook an egg on the truck hood. With Celsius, I gotta stop and think—ain’t nobody got time for that! Us old-timers, we go by what we know, and what’s always worked.
So, there ya have it. A heap of snow, a whole lotta cold, and a few days that’ll remind ya why folks used to keep the coffee pot on the stove all day long. Stay warm, keep the fire burning’, and as always—
Keep your minds open and your stories alive! GW
