Our high today was a record low of 16. Expecting 1-3 tonight, again a record for the date.
On a side note, Mt. Leconte, the third highest point East of the Mississippi at 6593' had a low of -23, with a wind chill of -67.

Its 4 now, supposed to be zero in the morning... Its cold in the house, I shut my Procom heater down for the night, it was only cycling off for about 4 minutes before it came back on again on a low setting of three (out of nine on the thermostat)!
Ill fire it back up in the morning and run it all day and evening again.. I would sleep with it on but only feel comfortable doing it in an emergency like when the power fails and the furnace wont run. I trust the heater is safe, Im just a little paranoid.
Its pretty cold in the house, Ill tell ya that much! Dog wont even go outside, not until her bladder is about to bust I reckon!
I know, 2 aint that bad... if it wasnt for the wind!! Gusting to 17mph is all...

Better safe than sorry. I borrowed a Coleman heater that mounts on a Propane tank. I've been running it till we get ready for bed in the basement near our water inlet last night and today to make sure the it don't freeze up. We haven't ran into that before, but with our luck this week, why take the chance.
Stay safe. It's below 0 here with wind chills making feel like 10-20 below. We haven't got the snow or ice though.
Let I say, thank God for global warming, otherwise just think how cold it would be!
Don't wrestle with pigs; you'll get all muddy and the pigs will love it!

My wife and I left for Athens, AL yesterday around noon to get our taxes done. Our Lynchburg, TN area, according to Nashville news weather, was going to miss a big ice storm, as they said it would be way north of us. We were going to leave around 5pm, but instead she called me and said lets leave around noon, as Lynchburg was expecting a lot of ice. Nashville weather guys got it wrong. Just as we pulled into the hotel in Athens, the ice storm hit. We were going to eat lunch at IHOP, but they closed early for bad weather, so we went to Logan's and watched I-65 go from ok to so bad they were getting ready to close it down. Logan's was just across from our hotel, so after we got done eating, we went back to the hotel and watched the Huntsville news. They were reporting wrecks everywhere. The main area they reported from was the Athens I-65 ramp area, right smack dap in the middle of where we are. There are semi trucks stopped everywhere, and the have the state troopers driving around picking up stranded people and taking them to a large local church for the night. Every hotel for miles is full. Luckily we knew we were going to have to be here early in the am, as our appointment is for 7am, so we booked a room on Thursday. The area for miles around is coated with black ice, and they have shut down a lot of the roads. Seem like we drove into the middle of the worst place we could have gone to. I hope we can get out of here in 4 hrs and get to the tax place, and especially hope they won't be closed due to bad weather.
drive safe! and more importantly watch out for the idiots who aren't!
