Do you have the blanket and electric heater at your feet?

I am a little disappointed this morning. They predicted it to be 5 degrees but it is 12. A little too warm for a Manly walk.

This is in front of my house. Snow is piled about 7' high

You know it's cold when the public aquarium has to bring the penguins inside.
This Aquarium is right near my house. I used to be a volunteer there. But the penguins are cold.

Long Island Aquarium penguins moved indoors during Arctic blast - Riverhead News Review

The penguins at the Long Island Aquarium have happy feet — because they're waddling indoors during the Arctic blast that has engulfed Riverhead.

You know it's cold when you step in dog crap and roll your ankle.

We are having friends coming over tonight for dinner. They don't eat seafood (must be Communists), so I am making chicken noodle soup and baking rosemary-olive-oil Italian bread.

Nothing new at the beach this morning. No walruses, seals or penguins. Just Manly ice.

All that "gray water" is solid ice. And that is salt water. The Atlantic Ocean. You can see the waves breaking about a hundred yards out before the ice.

OOOOOhhhhhhHHHHooo NNNooo. There are some ich spots on my 2 yellow wrasses.
OMG, Maybe I will empty my tank, sterilize with bleach, dip all wildlife in fresh water and peroxide and maybe a little Methylene blue and toilet bowl cleaner then leave fallow until July.



Or maybe, I will just do nothing, knowing that seeing those few spots means there are still living parasites in my tank keeping my fish immune.
