Starting to get a bit "nippy"

[john_bud]

The thermometer outside the window is showing -30F. The woodstove in the basement is blazing. Ah .... global warming ...

Hope all y'all keep good and bundled up!

Down to about 3 degrees last night... high today should be 20... heat pump has ran steady for the last 12 hours (hate to see my next electric bill). Finally bought some coal yesterday and started the coal stove this am. House should be about 80 degrees by noon!

At 0915 it is still 3 degrees, but that is in the sun. An hour ago before sunup it was -7. Windchills currently ranging in the -30 area.

We only got down to -19 here in north-central Indiana.

Its -7 here right now. Calling for a high of 3 above today.

I had a balmy 1 above this morning in southern Indiana. I checked the thermostat and the geothermal was still pumping away, no back up heat needed. They're calling for a big warmup after today. I had a beagle drop a litter of puppies on Monday, so I've had the woodstove blazing in the barn ever since. It was down to 32 in the barn this morning before I stoked it up. Even with the fire going I can only get it up to about 45-50 in there. 32x40x12 is a big space to heat up, and it's not well insulated at all. I've got a heat lamp on the puppies though, so they're staying warm enough.

Yup. Here in the Twin Cities, the thermometer is scheduled to climb above 0 for the first time since Monday afternoon. 10 degrees will feel rather balmy, after this week.

John - we saw -20 this morning is the suburban Milwaukee area. It's supposed to be warmer this weekend..

I made the mistake of leaving a case of soda on the screem porch table overnight... froze and exploded cans all over the place this am... big mess to cleanup when it warms up.
