Ah, the toys of our youth. When we would play for hours with a stick or a piece of putty!

Ok. Bit of trivia, not about silly putty, but that there B. C. comic strip - The guy who wrote it, Johnny Hart, he lived in the area where I grew up. A couple of my cousins knew him. Nice fella. BTW, the title "B.C." was thought to be a take on (or inspired by) Broome County, our part of the southern tier of beautiful upstate NY on the Penna. border. Either way, he drew his caveman and made special ones for public stuff around the county. eg: parks department, the golf tournament, public transportation. Stuff like that.

-15C would be frigid, -20C would be evil cold, -30C d@mn friggin cold, and -40c and colder is ‘you have got to be frigin kidding’ cold (and yes I know -48c don’t blink when your eyes water you eye lashes freeze together, so don’t bother wearing mascara haha).

Yesterday it’s a gorgeous +12C (54F) I have no snow here and I am loving it!

My mum keeps reminiscing about ‘back in the 80s’ “remember when the snow piled up over the fences? And remember you dad marked -42c inside the hood of your car that one morning (03 Feb 1988 I think it was)”

Yup and I am sooooo glad we don’t have those sort of winters anymore!

Yesterday caught on my barn cam
No snow! Puddles!

And yet they still can't give an accurate forecast within one hour.

I wish I had encouraged my children into getting well-paid jobs where you can be wrong 7/10 lol
