It’s well below freezing here. I finally switched from flip flops to boots yesterday - but just for walking the dog. I’m still wearing flip flops to work.
There’s no snow here yet, but we are part of the snow belt. Communities 45-60 mins north of us are getting up to 75 cm this weekend. That’s two and a half FEET to you.

For my friends who are more culinarily inclined than me... I'm trying a new baked potato soup recipe. Step 3... it says "In a saucepan", which leads me to believe I need to heat the ingredients. But it doesn't say at what temperature. High? Medium? Just enough to melt the butter? When I make things, I need the directions to be spelled out for me like I'm a 5 year old. So what would you do?

Cube the butter, melt over low to medium low add the flour, the next part is a guess, cook the flour and butter together, keep stirring, just until it develops a bit of fragrance but does not darken to take the raw flour taste out and get out any lumps, congrats you've just made a white roux, add the cream(first) and sour cream slowly, reduce heat to low while whisking together so nothing breaks. I would add some of the liquid to the roux cream mix bit by small bit to keep things from breaking, and you don't develop lumps, before adding to the crock pot
Thank you! I can't cook without very specific directions.

Hard PASS on the below freezing temps, and, WOOF, that’s a lotta’ snow…!!!
Glad to hear y’all will be spared from the worst of it.
Your post reminded me of the below meme…!!!!!
After “SNOWMAGEDDON 2021…!!!!!!!!!!!”, none of us down here even wanna’ see a single flake of snow, for at least the next decade…!!!!!
It got down to five degrees, and there was about a half inch layer of ice below the snow.
The first two pics below are from our old home on Feb. 15th, and the last two pics are of me finally heading into the office on Feb. 19th. It was nutso…!!!!!
Our high temp for today below, with our low for overnight underlined in blue…40 is low enough for me…!!!

I see this was already answered, but just for some future reference, pretty much any time you are melting butter, use low heat. Butter burns easily, so you don't want to use a high temp for that. Melt the butter first, THEN add flour. Otherwise the mixture burns before the butter melts.
