TOO COLD

[dirtlooter]

It is entirely too cold out there for this Arky, five degrees with a breeze is just miserable. can't begin to imagine what it is like up north right now. I have lived just south of Chicago years ago and spent four years in Germany but I was a lot younger then. Right now Buckleboy's 60 degrees sounds really nice. we have gone from being flooded and saturated to iceland. So hopefully there will others out there digging and posting their finds the next few days to keep us inside bound happy. Keep warm out there and stay safe my fellow diggers. Jerry

Last night was -1°F with a 30 mph wind at sunset when I took water out to the sheep. That's too friggin cold. It was hard to breathe.

While you are suffering from your 5 degrees I sit here and the outside temp is 1.1 and a wind chill of -7. Our furnace has not kicked off at all and is set for 72 degrees. Sadly it can't keep up and the temp inside my house is 52 degrees. So I am heading back to bed to cuddle with my dogs.

Well I am thinking of heading out to swing! it's a heat wave here of -35 wind chill and an actual temp of -7! plus 5" of snow in the forecast!

No way would I go out. Sounds bad for the game Sunday. But I have faith in my Packers. I am a fan.

Good golly, did you leave a window open or something?

Nope. Just a furnace that does not have the output it needs. It can handle the teen temps just fine but when it hits the single digits it struggles. Good thing we don't get these temps but maybe a few times a year.

 

[dirtlooter]

actually it was 52 inside the house (trailer raised up off the ground). our heater has finally got it up to 60 but that seems to be it for a while. I really feel for you guys and gals in this winter blast. we keep the water dripping good, the neighbors unfortunately didn't. we are all electric and last year when the ice storm hit, we were over 10 days no power, a week with no heat, nothing like seeing your breath in the house all the time. we stayed in the insulated coveralls day and night until we got some borrowed heat. the sad thing is it is usually in times like this that people lose homes to fires so be safe and keep tabs on everything.

Well keep bundled up and I'll be hoping for some warmer weather for you

I live in sw mo and have a 2 story house with full basement and my new furnace cant keep up either so I use a Buddy propane heater in my basement to keep it about 65* it uses a propane canister and last 6 hrs with out a vent as it has a shutoff sensor they are about 100 bucks but great for deer stands and basements and garages and households as they wont overcome on fumes as they will shut off automaticly . rwd mo

I hope the cold spell breaks soon, many people are suffering around the country.

how quickly we forget the extreme heat of summer, metal can actually burn you then, but in the winter, you can get stuck to it as Wordtalker shared. I once was changing a flat and the nuts stuck to my fingers, it was a miserable flat change.

It would be down right deadly to not have a place to go on nights like these,I know all the animals in the woods must be doing some snuggling.I just jumped a big red fox out from under the shed earlier while walking buy.Big sucker too!If it had any since it would have stayed put.It might come back.Keep warm out there!

I don't recall to many of those extremely hot days here this year,rather on the cooler side.

Tell me about it I cant even get the dog to want to go outside.

 

[texasred777]

Yes, Pong12211, mine will look out the door, turn a run jump onto the bed, look at me like I'm crazy. Only goes out when absolutely necessary. I feel sorry for all the outdoor creatures. I know they have their fur coats, but when it's down in the teens and lower, it must be hard on them.

I was out yesterday and scored silver at 11 degrees and a -2 wind chill

I was planning on an hour hunt today at -2 with a -25 wind chill but got tied up at work. It's not cold just all in your mind. Dig some nice old coins in this weather and you forget all about the cold
