Sort of like me here in California when someone in the eastern part of the country complains about how dry it is in their part of the country because it hasn't rained in a month. Yeah, and?

Texas Joker Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 They put out the iguana warnings. They go torpid and fall outta the trees. People get hit in the head or think they died. Once they warm up they scuttle off. It's how you tell they're ripe since they stay green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Sawmill Mary got a weather warning. Said: People in Southern States should stay inside. Northern States, put on a coat.

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 32 degrees F this morning in the Tampa Bay area. I let my dog go outside to do her business and she refused to come back inside. It took 20 mins to get the 30 lbs Cocker Spaniel witch back inside.

Cottonmouth Mark Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 We are in a heat wave compared to yesterday. Currently 8F with a wind chill of -6F. Yesterday it made to 3 as a high with a windchill of -21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 It got up to +8 here a while ago on the way to 20! Wind about 12 mph and wind chill is -2. It’s less than an inch of snow but it’ll be a white Christmas for the first time in several years. No loss of power, so far for us, but some folks have been less fortunate! Y’all stay safe and warm and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Sorry Alpo. I guess I'm just not Floridian enough yet. Uno cracked open the windows last night to air the place out. They'er still cracked open. It was 35 Degrees when I got up at 8:30 this morning. I'm snuggled up in my flannel shirt, jeans and fuzzy slippers, sipping on a warm coffee. Life's good.

Chantry Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 With the wind chill it was -2F when I walked the dog this morning at 8:30 am. With the windchill, it's supposed to reach a blistering 5 F this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Suggested to my wife that we go north to the cabin and snuggle in for a few days. It is, after all, 20 degrees warmer there. It's like 14! Sounded good to me. But they just got 24" of snow. Probably not getting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Hey, I need you to perform an experiment for me. Get you a wet piece of cloth. Could be a rag, don't really matter. Wring it out then go hang it on a line. I'm curious whether you can freeze dry clothing. It seems to me that if you put the wet clothes out on the line in below zero temperatures, the surface water would freeze. And if you went out there an hour or so later and hit it with a stick, the ice would crack and fall off. Then the next layer of water would freeze. Hit it with a stick, and repeat. It seems like after 3 or 4 hours of this, or maybe six or eight hours of this, the clothes would be dry. Cold as hell, but dry. But I don't live where it gets cold enough to try this, and please God I never will. But some of y'all do. In the name of scientific experimentation...

Michigan Slim Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Yes, it works. Better if you wring it out hot. It will steam off. My mom did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Clothes will line dry in freezing weather no problem. They freeze then they're dry, a process called sublimation: ice goes directly to vapor without the intermediate step of liquefaction. It is, however, a little different to walk up to blue jeans on the line and knock on them with a bent foreknuckle and experience the general sensation of rapping on a thin plank!

Warden Callaway Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 We still use a cloth line but not when it gets below freezing. We drive through Amish country and see wash hanging out no mater the weather. Often looks like a lot of dippers on the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 You non-Florida folks...it's cold to us. I just brought in my case of beer in from the garage and put a flannel shirt on it. Don't want it to freeze. Brrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 When you live in a place that gets subfreezing weather for 6 months of the year you have the cold weather gear, the coats, the tires, and the experience to cope with it. When you live where you get a little frost maybe five days a year, and maybe see the birdbath get a little ice around the edges once a decade you have neither the kit nor experience to cope with a freezing weather.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Not too bad actually here in Ottawa, Canada: currently -9 C after rain and freezing rain yesterday. That's not too bad either, except, the ice and wind took the power out in my place for 8+ hours. Couldn't use the s'blower, (Electric Start) and had to shovel a double drive and landing space by hand. Knee braces wore a couple of spots on my legs, but what REEAALLLYY P'd me off, is looking at the 18Kw NG generator sitting in my back yard - Not hooked up yet after 4 months! Installers, Enbridge Gas and Ottawa Hydro installers and inspectors busy with other installations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
