[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cold... (Page 1 of 2)

Bring it on! Love the cold. |

I have a separate well building about 60' from the house. I have a heat lamp on the pressure tank and piping.
While in the shower this morning just at the time I've had shampoo on my head the water cuts out, "shit the well shack's frozen". The bulb went out and the below zero temps at night froze the water line, sure as hell the pressure tank's empty. Now there's a new heat bulb and a milk heater clicking on every two hours for twenty minutes I love the little winter surprises.

Supposed to hit -19 in a couple hours. I still need to get the snow drifts moved out of my driveway. Fuck winter.

Not current. It's actually 7 and going to warm up next week to the 20s/30s

It got down to -18F for a few hours last night. I spent most of the night on an airport ramp hopping in and out of a truck, checking the heat on a bunch of planes. My shift is almost over...
I'm fucked up enough in the head that I kind of enjoy the cold. ETA: Just got home. -19F here. |

My cat is tougher than most. He went out this morning around 2:45 a.m. without boots, gloves or a hat.
I was out doing my morning walk at 6:30 a.m. after letting the cat in, temp was 13 with a wind. Don't bother with wind chill as it's a made up number. Either you're cold, warm or hot. You just have to deal with it. Adapt or hibernate. |

Last night it's was in the 70's. Now it's 42. I'm heading up to Iowa today...I think I'm lacking in the cold weather clothes dept. Don't fuck around. Life threatening weather conditions up here right now. No fucking around here. I'm going to the store today before I leave to get the appropriate clothing. Luckily I'll be indoors (non climate control warehouse), but still. |
| How the hell can anyone live or function in that type of weather? Yesterday, I planted 7 shrubs while wearing sweat pants and a short sleeve t shirt.... I was sweating. The temp will drop here in Huntsville, AL but nowhere close to -'s. You guys are nucking futts for living in that. |

The temp will drop here in Huntsville, AL but nowhere close to -'s. You guys are nucking futts for living in that. Layers. Many layers. Vehicles, they are a bit more hit and miss, especially when trying to keep warm. Keeping a 100°F differential in the cabin is a big task for a car blower fan. The new cars all start and run great, and remote start is a plus. Houses, insulation, and stuff like fleece and felt. And Thick Blood. 50 is T-shirt weather for sure, if there's no wind, sometimes lower. I'd rather have the heat though, since you can always cool off, unless out of water. This sort of cold makes you dead. |

It's 3F here, at the moment as the winter rolls on it will hit -15 or -20 or so not accounting for wind. Layers, fall home and vehicle preparation. It does suck though, I hate it. |
