   I'm curious where you get your weather reports in that format?

   That's cold.. I've been wondering if a few nights here it didn't   
   get a lot colder than the weather app said it would. I've seen the   
   same temperature given on 2 nights, and one night the water pails   
   in the kitchen was filled with ice the next morning and yet the   
   next night that didn't happen.

   Somewhat, but by this late in the winter all the open water is   
   frozen over for miles out, plus the coldest days would have wind   
   coming from the North which would not pass over the water here.   
      
   I was watching snowmobiles a ways out from my place on the main   
   channel that big ships use this afternoon. It tends to freeze   
   there last and 'least' so there's got to be a lot of ice for a   
   long ways out.   
      
   I'm currently sitting here listening to the wind howling through the   
   trees. That's been happening a lot this winter and I don't remember   
   it being that frequent in the past when I was staying here, but   
   that could be a memory issue rather than a weather change..   B)   
      
   The most exciting day here I remember happened in late November   
   one year. I don't think it was snowing at the time but the wind   
   was reported to have hit 165 kph (100 mph) and I seriously wondered   
   if the building would still be standing the next day, being built   
   at the top of a hill and up on pillars of variable height to level   
   the place from a few inches in places to over 3 feet high, mostly   
   at the front which was the direction the wind was coming from.
