Storm warnings extended for another 36 hrs. Getting ready to brave it and head out to my radiation treatment for today . Temp is just above zero this morning and supposed to stay in the single digits . Then below zero for many nights with temps in the single digits

Be real careful out there.  It is very easy to get some serious damage in a short time during these low temperatures.

Yah I know ...... had a couple small logs I decided to try and saw today and I jammed the blade . Had to pull the guards off to fix it and ended up having to take my gloves off . Got it mostly back together but had to quit due to the cold and my hands .
