    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.

    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.

    -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.

    A foot of snow yesterday would have been nice.
  22. DavisStraight
    I'm going to have to force my dog out tonight, she hates cold like this.

    I was down at the Cape in the 2005 cold snap, there was ice as far as I could see, looked pretty thick too.
