It's no surprise that October in New England signals the onset of fall and ushers in cold Canadian air. Once I grabbed a cup of coffee I glanced over at the outdoor temperature and saw a crisp 26 on the thermometer.

I generally wait until the first frost to being in my detailing products for winter storage in the basement where they'll sit at a temperature no lower than 55 to 60 degrees...

I'll have my detail bag stocked with all the essentials which I will transport back and forth to a heated garage...as long as the woodstove is stoked!
 
It's going to be a loooong cold winter this year. We got away with an easy one last year.
 
Same project going on here in Minnesota. Had a wood stove in my last house and loved the heat from that thing but had to go with gas heat in my current garage. Getting to old and broken down to cut and haul wood.

I was cutting and splitting wood yesterday and will get to stacking some of it today....hopefully! Cutting and splitting by hand give me a bit of exercise and at 60 it keeps things in working order....
 
Thats the nice thing about wood Bobby, it warms you twice. Once when you cut it and the second time when you burn it.

Meteorologist Tom Skilling reported that they expect this Winter to be more like the average. Whatever that means. I'll still take the average over 2010's Winter.

:iagree:
 
They have no idea. Last year they said it was supposed to be the worst winter in a long time. I looked at graphs stating it is going to be mild again. At least here in Chicago. Most snow coming from quick clippers out of canada.

Right. Look at how they blew last year's forecast. "Worst Winter Ever"?
It will be what it will be.

Good advice BobbyG :props:

I lost a gallon of yellow wax last week and the low temp was only 40! :dunno:
 
I think this winter is going to long, cold, and snowy, at least where I go to school in Michigan. We were 70inches below average last winter, and actually had to bring snow IN for Winter Carnival. You could see the grass in February and March. It's only October 13th, and many places here have snow on the roofs and in the ditches.

I wouldn't have even called it a winter in Chicago last year, more like a brisk fall.

Should be interesting to see what happens though.

What's winter? I spent all day drinking Modelos on the river. Water was 75 degrees - that's cold! :laughing:

Dave,
Thanks...and yours!
Had a red 440 6-pak. Unfortuneately, I didn't hold onto it. I did have a blast with that car. When you stepped on it a little....good Lord, it would blow your hair back. Oh well...life...you know?
