We are getting a cold artic blast this weekend down in NC, but no moisture. It's just a dry cold NW wind. How cold is it where you are? Right now its warmed up to mid 30's. Cold for us southern folk
Central Alabama 22 degrees early but up to 48 now.. Wind was tough yesterday, still blowing today but at least you can stand up when outside. In a word COLD
The wind was brutal yesterday and last night, and the wind chill was colder than I like. This wind causes our container plants to dry out so I have to water even in this weather. Can't wait for spring.
What County in the Piedmont are you located? We live in Caswell County and the wind chill was 5 degrees this morning at 8:00AM. I turned on the portable heater in the pump house last night. It only reached 37 degrees today. I hope the weather is warmer tomorrow, because I have to spread 2 loads of dirt before it rains Tuesday.
Durham co., when it gets this cold I always worry about the irrigation pump. It's been drained, triple wrapped in insulation, heat lamp and one of those heat cables. I learned the hard way years ago what ice can do to metal.
