Here you go, Tip:

DES MOINES (AP) — Snow was piled so high in Iowa that drivers couldn't see across intersections and a North Dakota snowblower repair shop was overwhelmed with business as residents braced Thursday for heavy snow and wind chills as low as 52 below zero.

Frigid weather also was gripping the South, where a rare cold snap was expected to bring snow and ice Thursday to states from South Carolina to Louisiana. Forecasters said wind chills could drop to near zero at night in some areas.

Dangerously cold wind chill levels hit the Midwest early Thursday including 52 below zero in northern North Dakota, negative 40 in parts of South Dakota and minus 27 in northeast Nebraska, according to the National Weather Service. Equally disturbing chills were expected overnight Friday.

"Temperatures are going to be nose-diving," said Billy Williams, a weather service meteorologist in Sioux Falls, S.D. "Winds are slowing dropping off but will be more than compensated for."

Another 10 inches of snow was expected in Iowa, already buried by more than 2 feet of snow in December, while up to 9 inches could fall in southeast North Dakota that forecasters warned would create hazardous zero-visibility driving conditions. Wind gusts of 30 miles per hour were expected in Illinois — along with a foot of snow — while large drifts were anticipated in Nebraska and Iowa.

A very relieved starty checking in for duty.
Lump is a benign tumor, all is well and I just have to decide whether I want it removed or not.
I will save that thought for another day. Phew!

Sounds good fresh from the oven, with generous dollop(s) of butter

We usually have corn in the form of a very stiff or crumbly porridge made from coarsely ground corn. Usually served as a side dish with a braai, with a savoury sauce made from onion, tomato, garlic & chillies.

Wait a few minutes: I took some pics from my sirloin braai the other night. Will upload quickly on PhotBucket.
