Good Morning all,
Finally going to get to 23 today. Wow a heat wave. And it's my birthday so what do I do? Get up at 5 am this morning and work at my buddies SHELL station with his two mechanics putting in a new radiator in a Lexus that had virtually no anti freeze. Young family with two babies stranded so we all got them on the road about 1/2 hr ago. They were from FL. 2 yr old car figured anti freeze to be good. Tested 15 degrees so thus broken radiator. Gave me a feel good feeling when they waved and said " Thank God for a gas station with real mechanics ! You all have a good day and stay warm! Rob

Too bad for the people. All cars are delivered with -40C anti-freeze in the radiator. Never an issue here. Warming up here as well as the Chinook winds lift a lot of the snow off the ground like a vacuum cleaner. It will be messy. Have a good one out there.

Another wave of icy precip rolled through here yesterday and left the roads a mess overnight. Temps hovering right around freezing but supposed to warm up for the big rain event coming tomorrow. Arctic cold to monsoon rain all in one week, what more could one ask for.....Looking at the long range forecast we may get a lucky break next weekend for the Columbia show. The way it's been going I thought we might all need snowmobiles to get there! Well, better get busy and do something constructive today, HAGD all!....GB

Its coming Terry! Above zero here this morning and supposed to hit about 20 today with low 30's by the weekend. Everything is moving east, so you should see it shortly!
Busy day for me with these nicer temps, so I'd better get to it!
Have a great day on me!!--KEVIN

Happy Birthday Rob! Glad you were able to help out. God is good.
45 and wet out. I am blessed with the Grandaughter this morning. I put Casting Crowns singing on the computer and she dances around. Thank you Jesus for blessing us with her.
May God bless us all,
Mike
