Yeah, that's less fun...
Hopefully people will be smart through this. There are a lot of folks here that have no idea how cold that is, nor how dangerous it can be.
good time to keep the wood burner stoked and stay near it. Scary thing is that the worst of the cold hasn't reached us yet.
Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.
We've been pretty much negative all day on wind chill. -2 at the moment, but that's a live (not average over several minutes) reading
^^^This.
Below 0 wind chill out here since mid-week. Even the dog(who loves the snow and cold) takes care of outdoor shit quick.
Our primary heat source is wood stove and cold snaps like this reallly suck. Forced air furnace and AC are on the list for this year. After 20 years I no longer need to live such a hardy lifestyle. Mrs bo doesnt complain but is glad I am finally over it.
Gathering, cutting, chopping, splitting, it has always been chores I have enjoyed and taken pride in heating our home for for a few bucks a year and my labor.
I read that all 10,000,000 square kilometers of Canada are below freezing at the same time.
Yowza! Minus 3 degrees overnight at the cabin, minus 9 tomorrow night.
Wind chill is a made up thing. Kind of like global warming.
It's Group-Work-On-Trucks-Day tomorrow, and it's going to be outside. So that should be fun.
