Try a relentless Texas Summer sometimes and get back with me.
It got down to single 11 F last night in DFW.
Just a tad cold.
I have sworn I will never spend another Oklahoma August here but do. I bought the Airstream to retreat in August but have yet to do it in my sixth year of retirement. I may not.
It is all about delta T. Summer seldom exceeds 25 between comfortable inside and outside. Winter goes well beyond that with 70 degrees differential here right now between inside and outside. It takes lots of insulation, preparation and energy to hold that small comfort differential tempersture. Add minus 40 to that and it is hard to believe it is possible to keep warm.
Never mind the endless ice, snow and slop. When I want all that I’ll rent it or visit with prepaid tickets back to someplace warmer.
Oh, and then there are the constant struggles with equipment in severe cold. Like my truck horn going off when the pad contracts fron the cold, or diesel gelling , frozen pipes, cold or frozen animals, the list goes on. Summer does not bring these or so many problems though I envy the mild summer of beautiful blossoms instead of our sum parched struggles to grow things.
Ever try to keep a drilling rig thawed in the north or Alaska? No fun at all!
