sheep_herder ★ Posted January 5, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 5, 2017 Hey it warmed up from 3F to 6F during the hour I was feeding livestock. However, they are forecasting -15F for tonight. You do not need to panic, just stay warm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted January 5, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 5, 2017 We are supposed to get 4 to 9 inches of snow and temps dropping into the teens this weekend. I have already been to the grocery store and stocked up on the important stuff. I am ready to hunker down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge ★ Posted January 5, 2017 Share #8 Posted January 5, 2017 I think we got up to 15 degrees today. Not bad. It was 9 this morning when I was putting out seed and stuff for the woodland creatures. Apparently we were at 30 degrees 24 hours ago... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder ★ Posted January 5, 2017 Share #13 Posted January 5, 2017 -15F forecast for tonight should be our coldest temperature for a few days. I am not in a contest, just stating facts. I would be very happy with the temperatures some of you folks are posting. Currently it is snowing lightly and 7F. I just returned from taking my wife to a knitting group and may have to go get her later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 5, 2017 Share #17 Posted January 5, 2017 It's very dark here tonight, maybe even darker than other parts of the country. Christmas is over. I'll be in the warm and well lit secret lab. Call me when April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted January 5, 2017 Share #18 Posted January 5, 2017 It is -5 this AM with a -20 windchill...I will see cyclists all bundled up commuting this AM...juat another day for them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted January 5, 2017 Share #19 Posted January 5, 2017 0F at 8:00am, and temperature did not go below 0F last night. Nice they missed the forecast of -15F. Looks like they are plowing a bit of snow on Main Street or they are just moving the road grader to another location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense, today is the 12th day of Christmas and it is very hard for me to get any work done with all those drummers drumming around here. Sheep Herder, I hope your wife knitted you a nice warm scarf if you had to go pick her up from the knitting group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
