This Is More Fun Than I Want

I'm about to declare this to be the worst winter in P-Ville, ever.  I know it beats anything I've seen in the eight years I've been here... including a record low temp for yesterday's date, to wit:

There's not much doubt we'll set another record for February 1, too.  This is what the conditions were at 2135 this evening:

I did a screen cap at that time because that's when the power came back on... after a three hour outage.  It was about five degrees when we lost power, with winds in the 30 mph range.  Even well-insulated buildings cool off pretty quickly in those conditions.  I was wonderin' if the power was ever gonna come back about midway into the second hour.

The power outage also means I'll have to mosey over to El Casa Móvil De Pennington sometime tomorrow to reset the furnace.  I'm not looking forward to that lil adventure, believe me, and I'm a lil bit apprehensive about what I'll find.  The ol' RV has never spent a sub-zero night without heat before; The Deity At Hand only knows what interesting things I'll find.  But Hey!  I need to fetch more beer and cigars, anyway.  I've already consumed what I thought was gonna be a three-day supply of both.

As I said in the title: this is more fun than I wanna be havin'.
