My tomatoes have been slowly ripening. So I’ve been doing small batches. It would be more convenient to do one big batch. Are you canning or freezing? Plain or making sauces? I froze a batch of spaghetti sauce last week, hopefully another this week. The sauce turned out so good, we could really taste the freshness of the tomatoes.

I feel like I'm going to vomit. Don't mind tomatoes but they should be not have juice flying everywhere.

Farmer's Almanac already has their 2022-2023 winter predications.
www.farmersalmanac.com
That Almanac mention that there is going to be good potential to have heavy snow from the Rockies that may reach as far south as Oklahoma and Texas in the first week of January.
@MinnieM123 is going love that Almanac since her region is getting the description of significant shivers, slushy, icy and snowy for winter. My region is getting the description of unreasonably cold and snow for winter. @MinnieM123 would like some states west of Wisconsin like Minnesota because they are getting description of a forecast of hibernation zone, glacial, and snow-filled for winter.
The Almanac is claiming the 2022-2023 winter may have record breaking cold temperatures of 40 degrees below zero in some places in the US in January 16th to 23rd.

Snow tires are the best option for cars in areas that receive a lot of snow. I think more people are using the all weather radials now year-round, but snow tires are better (if you can afford them).

The temps are brutal for UPS drivers. A number of their trucks have no AC and they go in and out of that UPS hot oven where the packages are stored in their trucks. I read a number of drivers have been hospitalized and some have died on the job of a heat stroke.I got distracted by Disney live streams yesterday, and forgot to post…

That’s unfortunate. I had not heard that. Sad.
I have a cousin (one of my Pops younger bros kids) that drove for UPS for years here in Texas. He was in management for his last several years there, before he retired a coupla’ years ago…he was definitely in better shape when he was drivin’…!!!!!

Yah, it's a very physical job for all those delivery drivers (UPS, Fedex, Amazon, etc.). I just saw a report about all this on the news recently.That’s unfortunate. I had not heard that. Sad.

It doesn't surprise me. Where I work, we have no AC either. It's not quite AS bad now that we're in a building that's only the ground floor and apparently has a better ventilation system, but when we were in our old location, it was a 2 story building and the upper floor was just unbearable. Really, it was unsafe and they legally should not have had us working in those conditions, but the law is really vague. It says "workable temperature", but what does that mean? Some people handle heat better than others. But there was one summer we had a heatwave....like 2 or 3 years ago, right before we moved to the new building. Someone put a thermometer upstairs just out of curiosity and it was over 110F up there, and our job is very physical...it's nothing but walking back and forth, pushing a cart. So that heat is awful, and there are no windows. We weren't allowed to keep doors propped, because they are fire doors that reduce the chance of fire spreading from one area to another. There were 14 people in one day who had to go home early because they got overheated or actually passed out. Now we have a larger area, no upper floor except in the office space, which is air conditioned, and we have these big huge garage doors all over that they can open up to get some air circulating. It's still stuffy and gets warm, but it's not quite as bad as the upper floor of the old building.

Not a thing here. I didn't even know what chains were until I got on these boards.

So I finally got my dad to come to HersheyPark with us. He hasn't been here since 1986; my brother and I have season passes.
On the first rollercoaster I got him on, on the lift hill, he says, "Oh no, I'm too old for this!" Then later he tells me everything here is too fast for him; he needs Disney speeds.

Snow tires are handy when you really need them, big difference in controlling your car compared to all season tires , provides better braking power than regular tires in inclement weather.
