It was (during Christmas break). I was a student then, as well, and went to visit relatives in Virginia. There was snow all over, but it was hard and nasty looking, and you had to be careful not to bust your arse just walking on it....Nothing like the soft powdery stuff I'd always seen in TV & movies. If one had thrown a snowball made of that stuff, they could've killed someone.
Clear with blue skies but a little brisk in the western panhandle this morning.
Yes. It was 59° inside. Our heat is a heat pump so it's not very effective when it gets this cold.We set the thermostat at 61° so it doesn't just run and run. Go outside for a while and 61° feels pretty comfortable. My wife is from Pittsburgh so this is far from foreign for her.
When we have normal low temperatures, the thermostat is set at 66° during the day and 63° at night. It's only set that low when we've had the weather like in the last week or so.
That's still damn cold. With gas heat, we're at 72 day and 67 night. We are finally getting back to normal temps here.
That's way too warm for us regardless the power bill.
Wow. Relative humidity of 100% even with temps well below zero. Plenty of moisture, basically too dang cold to snow. That will hurt cha. There was @ thread with divinnole talking about how 30 in Fla feels like 0 in Wisconsin...take note. That kinda weather is survival mode...mess up and you lose extremities or die. Maybe both.

Yes and yes. As one who has worked outside in Florida building my entire adult life, I like it cool.
I think we are just too dry for wood putty. I think I remember you saying you are GC right?Shoot, who likes it crazy hot when they are outside working? Cool or cold weather is the friend of a man/woman who works outside.
My first company made crown molding with plaster the old school way. That's becoming a lost art. I was always been better with mud than with wood so I had guys that worked for me who did the more complicated crowns. The key is learning how to cope in the joints. That way, if a corner is not exactly square, everything will still fit tightly.Makes sense. Q, for crown molding do you prefer wood filler or caulk for seams? Or is that level of finishing not your forte? I can't quite get my cracks to close up.
Hey Manch,
You might be referring to the winter of 2010, we arrived a year later. They had back to back snow dumps. Last winter was horrible, had about six inches total. Year before pretty good, had a nine day snowpack after a storm, nearly wore the snowshoes out.
