Do what? Get a car body frosty? I spent 32 winters in Minnesota. They look like ridiculously mild fall or winter scenes to me.

Welcome to freak winter in Louisiana! That was Jan 2014 and that was the 3rd time in 3 weeks it did that. That's insane for us.

I recall one winter in Minnesota when it was sub-zero F for six weeks straight. When the temp finally got up to 10 degrees F people were running around in shorts and shirtsleeves. :thumbsup:

Currently laughing at the rage of someone I know towards Australians who are celebrating Halloween since it's 'an American holiday and has nothing to do with Australia'. (I guess he's never heard of Samhain)

This is the same non-Irish guy who celebrates St.Patrick's Day. 😂

I'm getting a new fireplace today, this one:

I have an ancient, cast iron stove, which is pretty in its way, but incredibly inefficient. Besides, I want the light from the fireplace too.

edit: this is obviously a stock photo.

There's a pipe from the back that connects to the chimney, at least that's how it'll be at my place.

You should get one with a back boiler and tie it I to your heating system.
We rarely if ever light our oil central heating anymore,the stove has all the radiators in the house warm within 20 mins of being lit.

He'll need the shoes for fuel, after that paltry stack of wood outside is exhausted after a few days.

We had a very similar one in the place we had a long weekend in a couple of weeks ago. We've got no fire here so the novelty of once again putting wood into flames meant that late at night we were seriously considering opening all the windows to try and cool the pace back down.
