Snowing and cold. Look at what we get to deal with tomorrow and Thursday.

-4°F, with a -20°F wind chill right now.

-50°F wind chills tomorrow and Thursday morning. Tomorrow's high will be around -13°F. As you could imagine, every school in the area is closed tomorrow, some businesses are closed. In my opinion, they should all be closed. Local news says 1996 was the last time we've seen something as cold as what's coming over the next 24 to 48 hours.

8 f this am, heading to 3 f tonight.

My plane is still flying, but a snow blast is hitting the airport right when I am supposed to take off. Heavy blowing snow as the arctic front makes its way into our area.

To you folks that are experiencing extreme cold temperatures, I have some tips that will be hopefully useful
:Keep your outdoor activities to a minimum
If your vehicle is kept outdoors, plug in the block heater (if it has one)
If your house has plumbing that is close to an outdoor wall, keep cabinet doors open and the taps on a constant slow trickle in order to prevent water line freezing
Keep pets indoors
Watch your indoor furnace for signs of component failure. Post questions if you're not sure what to look for

No thanks.
You can have that crown now. :smuggrin:

Except you still need to keep an operating outdoor pond during this weather.

.
Not the crown I wanted. Perhaps one day if I redo the pond

Not even the fish should live outside in this weather. A crown for a thrown I do not wish on anyone.

The coldest I've measured here is -40 with a -52 windchill.
It didn't last long, but I always think about how our pioneers managed in this kind of weather.
I guess that's why people didn't live much past 40 years old back then.

-23 right now with a wind chill of -49. By Saturday, it is supposed to be close to 40 degrees. Mother nature is having some serious mood swings.

I went out to check on my pond breather, and I was also curious what -50° wind chills felt like. It really feels about the exact same as 0°F, other than the damage it can do in a very short amount of time.
I do feel bad for wildlife, though. Even though they can handle colder temperatures, this is going to take a toll on them.
