Vermont?

Greetings from the Burlington area, specifically Shelburne. Frosty morning y'all

-14 last night here in Colebrook.  But it is warming up fast, up to +11 already.

boy that's cold

Funny story about cold up here. My wife's parents were doctors here and being country, house calls were a way of life.  Christmas visit 1989 the forecast was for extreme cold one night, so I went out to my car and removed the battery and brought it into the house and left it next to the water heater.  I also plugged in the block heater for the engine.  My father-in-law thought this was laughable.  Next morning, 33 below, he got a phone call from a sick patient and his car wouldn't start.  Burst battery.  He wasn't alone, many cars in town needed new batteries.  Colebrook was crippled for days because of the battery shortage.  Of course my car worked so the doctor was enabled even with egg on face.

when I bought my first car, from my own funds, for the first couple weeks, I brought in the battery every night. That was the security system I could afford in the early 90s.
