Being very cold

But with our mild spring also comes the tornado dangers. We had a couple killed and a bunch of houses torn up along our state's southern border.

Winter is not over, not by a long shot. we have more cold, more snow and a bit more misery ahead before summer arrives. Our last killing frost is usually not until mid-May.

I am actually glad to see you folks having some severe winter weather. Not to be nasty or anything, just a good cold snap to keep your winter gear sorted out, make sure there is a week or two of food in the pantry, remind you to service the vehicles for the climate and enjoy a walk in the snow, which I always consider better than a walk in the piddling rain.

MB i think you would find everyone reading this forum over here have done their homework and are well prepared for winter, but yes a short cold spell does sharpen you up. It’s the “it will never happen to me” folk who get stuck in the snow and who run out of the basics.
