Well, sounds like Wisconsin is going to get the worst of it according to Frankie, but all should heed his advice just the same.

Just had to use 2 extension cords and a hair dryer to unfreeze the lock on my mail receptacle. Got that beautiful T206 Duffy Polar Bear out of there though. I don't think it minded the weather though, Polar Bears are pretty resilient in the cold.

Emailing with a friend and fellow member in Wisconsin now and before I read this he told me they are about to get hit. So whoever Frankie is they are correct.

You’re in St. Paul we had may be five or 6 inches already on the ground and single digit temperatures. The blizzard arrive this morning added maybe three or 4 inches it’s quite windy and cold. Supposed to continue until maybe Friday with the winds picking up tomorrow.

Here is the good and bad about living in San Diego county:

Good: - the weather is great - mid 60s during the day and 40s at night.

Bad: - Got this month's electric bill - 500+

If it's that temp during the day and at night how is the electric bill that high? You wouldn't need heat or AC in that kind of weather.

Sounds strange but you do. Visitors from out of state will come (WI, KS, etc.) and complain about how cold it is - even when the temperature is in the mid-40s!

The rates and taxes are crazy. It's a tiered billing system. The more you use, the higher the unit rate. It starts off high and goes into the hemisphere from there.

Electricity is second only to water and property taxes.

If you excluded heating and air, then you could knock that baby down to around 2-3 hundred I'm guessing.

Oh, I forgot add the price of gasoline.

The rest of the United States is mainly around 3 bucks or so and we are still at around $4.50 average.

I just can't seem to figure that one out either.
