    If things looked bad they'd be posting, good sign that they're not.

    Decent size lake to have that much ice, how about the larger ponds in your area, Are they pretty thick with ice?

    Trying to talk my wife into a weekend up north, might be only way to experience winter this year. She loves Stowe but its a 4 hour ride from our house.

    The people who died were not affiliated with the Islands Ice Fishing Derby, but tournament organizers decided it was not safe to proceed, CNN reported.

    Seems the last 20 years it's been 50-50, I remember back when I was in the kid late 60's - 70s don't remember ever skipping a year. Maybe we did and I don't remember but I remember some years the ice was on 10-12 and some years over 2 feet.

    My father's side of the family is from Quebec and the whole family always spoke French at home growing up. My father was in France when he was in the Air Force and said he couldn't understand them, and they couldn't understand him. He got by but he said it was like a different language.

    Put one together in CT, how about Black Dog in Putnam? Great assortment of beers, great pizza and right off the highway. Plenty of smaller rooms we could occupy.

    Happy Birthday Ginxy, sorry you didn't get your storm, maybe next year.

    The smaller ponds have had coatings of ice here and there, I don' think any but the smallest were ever safe to walk on. The bigger lakes like Webster Lake only had a full thin coating after last weekend and is back to 50% open water. Other than 2012 they usually have ice enough for ice fishing for a while, last year even had ice a foot thick for a short while.

    That's what we get now, just Yellow pages and about the same size, even though we can just look up what we want online. Maybe there's still people out there with no computer and a house line.

    My house was an old house too.

    Houses with crawl spaces are notorious for pipes freezing in this cold weather, actually had it happen to a rental house I owned, ended up insulating more and wrapped the pipes with a heating cord.

    Lost power from 11 to 5, had the wood stove to keep the house comfortable. Have a genny couldn't get the damn thing to start. I'll be better prepared next time I lose power.

    My low was -13, zero now, we just lost power, loaded the wood stove.

    -10 and winds are whipping, my dog was in and out in 2 minutes.

    Back in the October snow that caused power outages for up to a week and more, they said houses were down in the 40s, that was with night temps in the 20s so I imagine they'd go lower than that with these temps.

    I think its colder in Boston than where I am, that's rare.
