Popular Post sheep_herder ★ Posted February 12, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 12, 2021 Noticed it was -21F with a wind chill of -38F as I was finishing chores. I am more sore than cold. Layers and insulated overalls and coats improve my comfort level. Wore a little different balaclava, with only an opening for my eyes and no glasses that helped protect my face. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted February 12, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 12, 2021 Cold is getting me down. We’ve been consistently 10 or more degrees below average this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted February 12, 2021 Share #7 Posted February 12, 2021 My cat is staying warm. He has no interest in going back outside. I wonder if cats ears ever get frostbite? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted February 12, 2021 Just back in and checked the weather, and found that at 2:00am MST it was -27F with a wind chill of -47F. Luckily I let a ewe that was looking for a place to nest, inside the barn. She had twins, so we are alternating them between the house and the barn to keep them vigorous and warm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted February 12, 2021 Share #10 Posted February 12, 2021 It was somewhere around 15 this morning when I started my truck. Forecast was "cold and dry overnight with nearing zero percent chance of precip overnight". It snowed hard on my the whole way in to work. Looks like late next week until we climb out of the 20's. I guess winter finally decided to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Digital_photog ★ Posted February 12, 2021 Popular Post Share #11 Posted February 12, 2021 Not too bad here at home. I did see -24 Saturday on the way home. Frost bite on a couple fingers feeding dogs Saturday morning with my gloves off. It is harder to care for the dogs with gloves on but have kept them on since that. Today WoD_P has eye surgery then when I get home I will be grooming the trails again. We have mushers and fat bikes coming this Saturday, Sunday and Monday to run dogs and ride our 8 miles of trail on the farm. I'm glad we did not get the freezing rain that friends in Kentucky did. Trails are in nice condition. Now hoping we can keep the snowmobiles off the farm so they don't get ruined. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinneR ★ Posted February 12, 2021 Share #16 Posted February 12, 2021 It's warm here. We caught Pacific air. Snowed all day yesterday and it should continue until Sunday. They've been bombing this morning in town. GF said the village is bombing like crazy. JHMR is reporting 8" overnight and 355" for the season. It should be a great weekend to ski. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share #17 Posted February 12, 2021 Low last night was -31F. At least the sun is shining this morning. At least 2 more days of this before warming begins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted February 12, 2021 Share #18 Posted February 12, 2021 Wow that’s downright cold. I know you have to tend to the critters @sheep_herder but be safe. Its been a tad chillier than avg in SoCal but I won’t dare say it’s cold... We have had some rain even the past few weeks. I took out the trash this morning and was surprised to see a light rain was falling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go in December as I don’t get my airline rewards confirmed in time each year to make February travel for free a sure thing. But if I have to pay for flights in the future, last week of January/first week of February seems perfect to me! Hawaiian Airlines is starting Tampa to Hi direct that seems WAY better than flying to Cali and making a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted February 13, 2021 Share #22 Posted February 13, 2021 -17 on the drive to work this morning. We might see a high above 0 today. Yesterday, my car said it was -6 all day long. I thought it was stuck, but it was close enough to all bank and other temperature postings when I drove by them. Tomorrow the forecasted high is -3 and lows around -22 tonight and tomorrow. Supposed to see 20 by Thursday and 30 next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted February 13, 2021 Share #23 Posted February 13, 2021 Brrr, I’m still waiting on my firewood lady to bring me another load. I think someone talked her into bringing them my load I was supposed to get on Tuesday. They call her crying that they are completely out and there goes my load. I have been burning dry as dust wood from the shed that I was trying to save to mix with the green wood that she brings. The house goes up to 90° and then when it cools down to the seventies I put more wood on. Between the cold temps outside and the very dry thin firewood the temp cycles often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted February 13, 2021 Share #24 Posted February 13, 2021 It is just below freezing here for the forth or fifth day in a row, which is unusually cold for here. We got some snow (5cm) overnight so I will go shovel the driveway once I finish my coffee while sitting beside the (natural gas) fireplace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder ★ Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share #26 Posted February 13, 2021 Currently -9F, and last night was warm with a low of -14F. Glad they missed the forecasted -27F. Now we'll see if the forecast low of -30F materializes tonight. Hope they miss again. Yes I can definitely tell the differences between -15F and -30F. Hope everyone stays warm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted February 13, 2021 Share #27 Posted February 13, 2021 Not too cold here, around upper 20's, but we're supposed to get icey rain starting tonight into tomorrow morning. Time to stay home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My northern Maine born-and-raised BiL is similarly mentally adjusted. When I was in grad school in Chemistry at IIT in Chicago, Sherwin Williams offered me a job there in polymer development after I graduated. I turned it down because of the cold winters there. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I was probably born along the Equator in my last life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_photog ★ Posted February 13, 2021 Share #29 Posted February 13, 2021 We had a nice day. Not a long sled dog run but good trail and fun running. GPS showed 6.78 miles. Will be back on the trails tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow will be a mix of sled dogs, fat bikes and cross country skis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
