I'm starting to hate winter!!!
« on: January 15, 2012, 03:01:19 pm »
 

 
 Supposed to be like this all week. It actually warmed up a little since this morning, it was -46.  Got to go cut more wood, need to keep the fire fed. Hope it makes you feel a little bit warmer where your at.

Wow FB, I would hate to even think about cutting firewood with those temps, but I freeze up at +32°.   :-\

My thermometer only goes to -20°F  . It would not work in your area.

The only time I ever saw temps that cold was about 40 years ago and it was on the polar  ice cap and another story all together .

One winter of that was all I could handle. Equipment won't start and stuff breaks. A number of people had flat tires, as soon as the vehicle moved the frozen bead popped off the rim.

  They will run but not for long periods of time.  Bar oil doesn't flow unless mixed with diesel.
The coldest I've ever cut at was around -57/-60.  Only one cord for a family that was out of wood and money. He came and helped me. If he didn't have children I would have never gone out.

So true!!! My wife and kids are used to this weather. We do lots of crafts and projects to keep us busy. Momma bakes up a storm during this weather. I'll probably gain 10lbs this week. ::)
  Stay warm every one.

And his thermometer would not work for me because it was into the 60's here today.

Fuzzybear, the wife and I plan to be up your way in June or July, I hope your thermometer is swung around to the otherside by then.

Magic, his thermometer goes to over 100F, it's on the inner circle. -40 is where celcius and ferenheight are the same.

FB,

It looks like your thermometer is broken.  Maybe it's not as cold as it seems?   ;D
