Don't feel like the lone ranger....in the teens here....not yet a record but colder than normal.
I think I hear the ponderosa's saying they don't mind so much....

Man, I know eh?
I'm still working outdoors, -14f yesterday and still getting colder, it's been a bit brutal lately. Luckily we had a good 70cm dump of snow before the weather got really cold. Trees will be fine. On the plus side, bonsai growing may be temporarily suspended but it's great stachesicle growing weather! No, it's not a snotsicle! Honest.

Glad you like it Dan. I have found that with a fairly coarse but well spaced upper lip substrate and the correct nostril misting techniques I can get growth like that in a couple hrs. I may perform some facing upwind vs downwind experiments to see if I can improve on that. Styling wise it may be a bit unbalanced but I like the natural forms.

Oddly enough in central VA my thermometer is reading 62 degrees right now... maybe it's time to start considering tropicals!
Just kidding. No tropicals.

Dude those are frozen boogers. I used to get them skiing all the time when I had a beard lol.

Dude, no way! Those afflicted with nasal incontinence often try to label perfectly clean stachesicles as boogery. Just look at the purity and whitey whiteness there, no hint of green, clearly frozen water vapour. Hey, if you're going to criticize my sicles you better be ready to show your own work there too bud.

Heh 2 weeks ago we had daytime highs in the 30s. I moved all my trees into the garage.
This week we have daytime highs in the 50s up to 60.
I dont have it in me to move all of them back outside (knee still healing).......
Its going to get cold this weekend though and Im planning on leaving the garage door open during the day to get it cold in there.

-26f this am. 5am crawling under the 5ton with tiger torch, jumper cables, cans of ether for 2hrs to start the truck. Damn near set my gloves on fire trying to warm fingers! Currently stranded on the side of the highway with gelled up frozen diesel lines. That's with a block heater and methyl hydrate in the fuel too.
Just trying to get home after 3 months work in northern alberta, I love winter but sometimes it's a bit much for sure.

I'm right near you. I'm trying to keep the rain off my plants so they don't freeze solid later in the week.

Photo related: it's a photo of wireme with a little forest he helped a west coaster style.
Hope you get moving soon. Stay safe.

Hey, thanks guys. I am in a safe warm place now but not home yet. You want to know the worst part? Opening day at my local ski hill is tomorrow! I worked the last 15 days in a row trying to get the job done in time to catch the opening, so close, curses!
I realize that there are far worse misfortunes to be had out there and it really is an absurd thing to complain about but man, lift access fresh pow, deep and fluffy. Plus it'll be in the minus 20's
again so less completion for the fresh tracks. Curses again! If you're a skier I'm sure you'll understand.
A buddy of mine was hiking up there today a took this pic, looks worth freezing your kniggits for don't it?
