Look there is a different between right now weather and the average overall climate. Yes we are freezing out nubs off right but when Summer gets we will be BBQing our rumps off. Still crazy weather events are caused by difference between hot and cold areas. I have seen temps where to be as low -10F in the early 80's so 1F isn't all that bad.

Just remember back in the Summer where I am at we hit 105+F with heat index of 115F.

And BTW the president has no more control over the weather than anyone else but some idiots thinks so. OF course the last one thought he God's appointed one too.

To all that wished for a White Christmas I hope you are enjoying freezing your tails off. Personally I rather something in the 30's or higher. Snow is pretty to look at but not to work in.

I remember Christmas day 1980 we had -26 F plus wind. It’s burned into my memory because we had to travel to my parents 50 miles away with our 3 month old son. Heater worked overtime and everything turned out fine. Last summer we had 95 F with humidity of 70+, that ain’t no dry heat, for three days. I’ll take the cold, because I’ve learned how to live with it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

In Sydney we have 3 variations on Christmas day
1) stinking hot, high humidity , no breeze ( this year again )
2) hot overcast, no wind & drizzle all day so you get soaked from outside with no raincoat & soaked from the inside under a raincoat
3) torrential rain no wind up to 1"/hr

We have 6 degrees and near 6" of powder snow here in the midwest USA. I have one snow blower and two snow throwers, but whether they'll start or not is a moot point ,because I am NOT getting OUT!

4^F yesterday at dawn West of Hickory, NC is the coldest we’ve ever seen it since moving here in 2014 and for first time ever we had freezing of the pex water pipes entering one of our Rinnai water heater stations (which the original home owners builder plumber for some *sinine reason installed on the exterior brick veneer wall outside the insulated but, unheated garage! :rolleyes: )

I used warm (not hot) air from a blow dryer to get the water moving again and then stuffed custom cut size pieces of R19 insulation in and around the water hoses and fittings.

Very glad I’ve decided to simply shut water off at street main and open the yard hydrant at lake shore (and a good 30’ of elevation below the house) to completely and without question drain the entire house water system when we close the property and winter in FL moving forward; and,

i thought guys advising me to pour some biodegradable rv antifreeze into all toilet, sink and shower traps were taking things too far!
