Geez, it's cold here in SC!!!

[kebo]

Lows predicted in the mid to upper teens, highs in the 30's all through this coming week. I pity you folks up north cause I know it's colder than that the further north you go. At least we don't have two feet of snow to get out of the way. Stay warm out there!!

Now where was that Gore's estate, and wonder what he is saying about the cold air?

The real cold is north of here, as only negative 12 F this morning. Got to plus 10 F, and now going back down. It is that full moon that is at fault, and no cloud cover.

When I was at Ft Bragg ,basic trng Oct-Dec -1969 , 20 above several nights. Came home for Christmas it was -10 and if felt alot warmer that the 20 above at Bragg.

Either way cold, it was 2above this morning, 8 above now and suppose to get 6-10 in of more snow tonight.

We had -4 last night and the high has been around 14 during the day. Been that way since Thursday and will be that way though mid week. I was kind of hoping for snow which we may get latter in the week but just 30 miles north of me they got a 10" dump this weekend. We only have 4" on the ground right now.

It got up to minus 9 here today, warmest it's been in 2.5 days. Felt pretty good outside doing chores, no wind at all. Been down to minus 30 a couple nights.

That is pretty extreme for us. Typically about 20 for a high, about 5 for a low this time of year. I'm tired of the cold too!

But - sunshine & no wind, not too bad. Winter here is grey & blustery most of the time, this super high pressure means a few hours of sunshine a day.

Yup mighty chilly here in central Pa. as stated above.I feel for you guys down south better grab some more covers or get a little closer to the miss's if she's all for it. We feel about the same here when temps get over 85 in the summer but get in closer or more covers don't help.

When it gets this cold in SC bad things happen..people just aren't used to it.

There will be lots of busted engines because some people didn't keep up with their antifreeze, just adding water because of a leak, for example.

Those of us with wells may experience no water and busted pipes, got to get my extension cord run out to the heat tape at the well head today...most winters don't need it.

Had to run up to my WNC land yesterday and empty 3 55 gallon drums of water so they don't freeze and bust, usually doesn't get cold enough long enough for that to happen, but it will this week. Hated to dump the water because it is a pain to haul more up in the spring, don't have any well or utilities at my "camp".

Seems like everyone is experiencing cold temperatures as of late. Two weeks ago here near Edmonton records were set for the coldest spot in the Northern Hemisphere of -45F. At my acreage just out of the city it was -50C this temperature lasted for three days then warmed up to -30F. When it hit -20 it felt like a spring summer day,

I work as an Emergency Services Operator I can tell you I was very busy during those times. I know when you are not prepared for it the cold weather can cause a lot problems.

Walked in the house today, unoccupied since yesterday afternoon, and could see my breath. At least it had warmed up to minus 4 outside - warmest day ogf the past 4, the house inside was about 34-36 degrees. I think the fuel gelled in the tank in the basement, heating oil (diesel) and it's in a small cold basement room. I had put in a little anti-gel, but looks like probably not enough.

Fingers are cold, and I'm bundled up! Should get down to minus 16-18 again tonite, I need to get the house up a bit - it looks like 46 inside now. Got a couple electric heaters going & the electric oven, as it will be hard for the radiators to get that much temp rise in this much cold air.

Whew.

Time to throw another dog on the bed here in the Ozarks. Been below freezing for several days. And the outlook does not look any better rest of week. Predicting record lows by end of week. Stay warm out there.

 

[kebo]

Yep, I just saw they are predicting a low of around 10-12 deg for the Columbia area in SC this coming weekend. My boxblade is still down at the hunt club and I WAS thinking about loading up the tractor on the trailer to go get it, but I think I will pass on this weekend!! I don't need it that bad!!! I feel for all you folks up north and on up into Canada. Be careful if you have to go out and stay warm. Think I'll go throw another blanket on the bed for tonight.....

I have tickets for the Bengals Jets play off game in Saturday. Temp is foretasted to be a high of 12 and a low of 4 with snow showers. Time to man up for me an my football buddies.
