I have actually witnessed someone killing lizards on a golf course to eat later that day.  I swear they gotta taste like chicken.  Better than venison anyway.

How big are these critters?

This is probably medium sized.

I will not go gentle into that good night.  

So not much snow for Marquette then.

Yiks, I was thinking the little tree lizards, that is a meal.

No wonder you're in the veggie/fruit business

No way they're better than venison. Few things are.

I've never eaten Iguana, but have had gator many times. I imagine they're similar being reptiles and all. Gator does taste mostly like chicken, but often a hint of a fishy taste. Not much, just enough to remind me that it isn't chicken.

The gator I had was too chewy, venison depends on where, my neighbor claims the corn-fed version around us is great, and the processing, as if it isn't processed quickly, it has issues.

Gator is a little more chewy than chicken, but usually not too bad. Usually if places have them they have them as small pieces like nuggets. I think that makes them less chewy, because the chewiest I remember having were larger Gator strips.

There's a place nearby called Gator Jakes. The only gator they serve is small bits heavily coated in bread crumbs and deep fried. Hard to tell if there's any gator at all.

Have grilled gator. It's not bad. Not at all fishy and actually reminds of chicken.

Just changed from rain to snow up in the NOC.

No idea how you’re all going to handle it. You should just grab the fam and fly to Panama City (Panama, not FLA).

We have a very real threat of lizards falling out of trees!

Maybe you could hang out close to a tree and grab slo-mo video and share it with us here.

Wind is starting to pick up here.

Gusty at times here, too. Still getting some snowfall but it’s wet and heavy.

Nothing burger. Now only 2-8" and "blizzard"

6:10 A.M. don’t think I’m going to even have to shovel. I hear and see the wind but it’s not that bad.

Hard to tell in my East Lansing ghetto. Based on what I saw last night before I went to bed, I'm figuring 4-5".

The wind is howling, though. Gonna have more coffee, then go shovel.

Cold.
Very windy.
Ground crunchy.
Dog pooped.

Brrrrrr
white
brrrrrr
sailing

I've got bare grass in spots like it didn't even snow. That wind and wind chill is nasty out there

Damn. All four of my truck doors are frozen. Shot locks work but when I pull the handle doors are solidly stuck. I drove home in the rain last night. Parked my car in the driveway.

Thoughts? I’m going to remote start it to see if that helps and let it run for 15-20 minutes, but I never put the temperature in my car over 70°

Pour warm water along the opening between the door and the door frame all around the door.  Most likely the rain has frozen the door seal to the door frame.

That should work. If not, send the wife out with a hair dryer.

27° in Alpena
-7° in Cincinnati (10 hours south)

Build an insulated garage over your truck. Once you’ve finished, give it 4-8 hours and those doors will open easy peazy. You’re welcome.

I saw on Life Below Zero some dude build a tarp tent over a frozen snow machine. Seemed to work.

Holy fuck it’s cold. 6°/-15°wc.

Getting colder too ... minus one southwest of A2

Yep. Warm it just enough to get things moving again.

Run an extension cord and put some incandescent lights under the tarp.

Should amend my advice about warm water. If outside temp is too low, -10 or so, might make things worse.

2 1/2 car garage. My 64 thunderbird occupies one spot. Who do you think, if you had to guess, gets the other?

NOC to Detroit area weather update. Roads were not too bad this morning. 2ish lanes open on 75 & 94. Average speed 35-55. Some areas were slick. Windy as fuck. Flight taking off soon.

Back to you in the studio.

Where are you going nordicbro
