A REALLY Cold Morning

The weather cleared overnight allowing the temps to drop to a very chilly 3 degrees above zero.  Once the sun came up, the temp was up to nine above by the time John went out to put wood in the stove right before breakfast.   The big question of the morning was whether or not to plow the two to three inches of snow that dropped over the past few days.  The forecast is for warmer temps (in the 40's) and sunshine so the snow should melt, but will it melt completely.  John decided to plow the section of the drive between the garage and the road so if it melts enough, we can get back to gravel.  Not plowing and not enough melting can mean icy ruts for the rest of the winter.

Since the weather was nice and sunny, we decided it was a good time to head to Bemidji after lunch and purchase the floor tile for our next project.  Before stopping at Home Depot, we did some banking and picked up a few grocery items.  The tile we wanted was on sale and, fortunately, there were enough cases left for us to do our project.  We also picked up the sub-flooring we need to install, cement, and grout.  John also found a table saw on sale for his shop.  Once we got everything loaded into the truck, it was getting to be supper time, so a stop at BK was next on the agenda.
Our evening was a pretty quiet one--just watched TV and worked on the computer.
