Woke up to this today

-26 here, no work today or tomorrow. Sucks I'm bored. Was outside for 2minutes and my beard froze.
 
Forecast high today a balmy 59 F currently 53.

There are people wearing parkas where I work!

I remember in OH it would routinely be -10 to -15 at times in January.

Do NOT want to trade back for that.

Here is our weather. Sounds like we are going to be cold till March
 
-24 here. Watching TV at about 0800 and I see my neighbor jogging down the road in front of my house IN SHORTS AND GYM SHOES, BARE CHESTED! :screwy: A moment later he was WALKING back home.
 
Hopefully it's not going to last long. Single digits here tonight with the 20mph winds. Anything under 20* is too cold in my book. Sub zeros are dangerous.

Be smart, be safe, stay warm. Look out for each other.
 
Was working on the car last night, in the driveway, in shorts and t-shirt... Sorry...
I'll take this any day over California politics!!!!!
On a up note supposed to be 50 here this weekend. Almost a 100 degree swing in 4 days
 
-31 today in Northern WI. -55 windchill.
 
Oh no! Say it ain't so! Its Winter and its cold!
People on tv are going ape schmidt. And they will be the same Sunday which they say it will be 65°. Its -4 now.
 
Stay warm Tim. I talked to my 82 years young dad last night and he is prepped for the negative temps in Cincy... it is suppose to be up in the 50's after it blows through.

Well said!! They said they'd like to stop the mail for a few days. Really!!
 
Back when they said, "through rain, etc" they used horses.
Now with specially designed trucks low temps stop them. And the trucks have heaters.
 
Yeh....its -14 here. Gonna heat up the garage and try to work on my parking lamp......maybe
Lol, my attached garage is usually about 40* if door stays down. This a.m. it showed 26! (-12* currently outside)
 
Areas East and West of me lost power last night.
The linesmen went ti the rescue BUT.... the trucks gelled on them. Poor bastards.
Fortunately neighboring countues came to the rescue.

What I want to know is this: whis getting fired?
Either the head of maintenance needs fired for not having trucks prepared or the REC needs to cancel the contract with their fuel supplier. Both IMO.

I put straight number one and healthy doses of quality anti-gel in any diesel that I may need all winter. Ive learned the hard way. The last two days my mode of transportation has been a 2008 Case M-Turbo. Plugged in outside my house, she'll still start at -30.

Whether its The linesmen who got stranded or the paying customers who pipes broke. This was totally unacceptable. Damn do I hate incompetence.
:mad:
 
I guess thousands were left without power in southern and western Wisconsin this morning. Sucks, glad ours is still on.

Probably a bean counter trying to save a buck by not buying Winterized fuel and not buying anti gel additive and/or using engine heaters.
He they have to pay to fix the trucks and overtime for the linemen.
