Baby, It's Cold Outside

It was a white Christmas, a white New Year, and a generally icy mess down here where the city doesn't plow. Working conditions in the garage were intolerable.

Layers helped to mitigate the cold around the toes and the core, but when you work with your hands layers turn you into a bumbling fool.

A dear friend of mine told me that he had a propane heater, sitting unused for years, that I could test out.

Is the garage still cold? Yes, it is the dead of Winter. However, I can now feel my face and fingers again (and it really helps to dry out project pieces that were caught out in the snow).

I think that friend just earned himself a bird house.

...but that was last week. As I look out across snow capped roofs I'm amazed that in two days time they are predicting temps double what they are currently.

65° in January? Sure, you know where to find me.
