Plenty of white powder for the reindeers and their sled man.
It’s been sub-freezing here in Eastern Washington for the last 3 weeks. Expecting single digits by the end of this week but next week it’s finally supposed to get back into the high 30’s low 40’s
I recall last year there was a frigid cold front that lasted well over a week....evn below zero, it was awful! I was so glad when it finally lifted - I could come out from hypernating! Ha!
As long as that cold front doesn’t come in with a big windstorm.
I need to turn up the thermostats on my automatic stock tanks. Their set just right now for temps in the teens, but single digits is whole new ball game
Gonna be 21 in Pensacola for a low on Friday. I’m gonna be dripping my taps to prevent pipes from freezing.
Just heard the report that winds are going to increase Thurs fri and sat. And the wind certainly affects those cold temps.
It doesn’t appear we’re going to get much snow.
Oh yeah, those are awesome! We always had those for the baseball team when hubby coached!
My future DIL told me today not to worry, she has driven in snow all her life - but my concern is not the snow it is the blizzard conditions they are predicting later this week!
True. Used to keep a coffee can of water on top of the Dearborn.
I usually enjoy 70 degree Christmas days in East Texas. February is usually very cold though.
Tent camping or camper camping?
Slept in freezing weather naked under a canvas tarp with a skinny Potawatomi woman (my wife at the time). We had a big fire going as well.
Ok that sounds bad. I am part Seneca Iroquois. Wife at the time was full blood Potawatomi. I don’t have any special/magic skills that makes me some kind of badass or something.i like being in the woods.
I do have alot of Scot blood, though. Lol
Tent
Meanwhile, NYS’s Deep State myrmidons have just joined the jihad against nat gas furnaces.
Well, we’ll see how folks with hear pumps make out this weekend, won’t we...
I’m disgruntled about the campaign against cotton clothing for cold weather outdoors survival in the cold. Yes cotton is bad when it gets really wet as it gives no insulation. But it is warm af when dry. Just keep it dry. Wear a wool or polyester base layer that wicks sweat. Use cotton thermals over that and and a waterproof shell on top to keep it all dry. You will stay really, really warm. I camp in the coldest weather imaginable and this really works.

Well I guess I’m dead nice knowing y’all.
