Since there's been a downturn in COVID testing and vaccination, they've sent COVID teams out to measure the snow... Looks like almost 50" of snow so far....

Funny

Sorry to hear you guys are getting frozen out. Just found out we won't have our furnace working until tomorrow morning. At least it's warmed up to 46 degrees and raining. If it's raining here, it usually means warmer winter temps.

That’s how I measure, overpromise under deliver...

18 degrees and full sun feels like t-shirt weather.

-26 at my place last night, -35 with windchill. Was a busy weekend keeping livestock fed and watered. Thermocouple on the house furnace crapped out Sat night, had to wait til morning to run in to HomeDepot to get a replacement, house got down to 48 before the furnace was back in action. So far only down one chicken this morning, so better than I expected.

I have 2 reasons that I like this kind of weather: Californians hate it, and it may encourage them to go ruin somewhere else instead of here, and 24 hours of below zero weather significantly reduces the number of mosquito eggs that survive the winter.

That's the best thing I've heard in a long time.

I had my hopes up about killing off the mosquitos.
But Dang, Mosquito Joe dashed those hopes with his summary:

Only mosquitoes from the genera Anopheles, Culex, and Culiseta hibernate in the winter.
The rest just lay their eggs, say their goodbyes, and perish in the freezing weather.
What about her eggs?
Mosquito eggs can withstand freezing temperatures.
The eggs will survive the winter and emerge as temperatures rise.
Even after a polar vortex, you can still expect baby mosquitoes to hatch during the spring.

I sure don't miss that kind of weather. Winter here is a different kind of cold, rainy and gloomy but no snow!!

Only mosquitoes from the genera Anopheles, Culex, and Culiseta hibernate in the winter.

Killing off a bunch of Anopheles and Culex should reduce the risks and instances of malaria, Mayarovirus, West Nile virus, varieties of encephalitus, etc. Still a win IMO.

Rumor has it we shutdown Nat Gas to Mexico to help our own supply. (Mexico is experiencing this cold snap too). That's going to be rough on them.
