Outrageously cold in Portugal, 23F
This is so weird...the weather is crazy..

Today we have a region in the North of Portugal that reached -5C..that is 23 F..

For us is too cold..when this happens, people die of cold here.

Today in my marina was 46, so I stay home...I wonder how long the cold wave is going to last...I hate the cold winter...

easygoing is on a distinguished road
You need to come and visit me. No problem with the weather. But you might have problem with the sand.

We've been running 10 deg F below normal all month. It's global warming, err wait, it's "climate change". Yea, that's the ticket.

You're gonna love Chicago in January!

Hey Giu,

One of these would do the trick:




It would look nice and classy in the cabin of your boat too. Next time I'm in Portugal, I'll help you install it.

Don't worry, they aren't very heavy either!

Rockter will become famous soon enough
His right ear is sizzling if you look closely. The glazed stare betrays that he is boozed-up. The booze is numbing the agony and the garrulous guy on the right is drowning out the noise.

What heater is that one anyway?

I was talking about the HEATER! Those guys are my brothers and my father.

P.S. to Rockter -- that's the Dickinson Newport propane heater.
