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. .... after 4 months I'd be a bit ticked off too ...... 'Tis 20 past 7 Christmas morning and it's already 29 degrees ........ ........ OK .... it's about 80 in your language ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron City Sage Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Moved to Alabama from Oklahoma to avoid the annual blizzards and ice storms. Been down in single digits last few days here. Heck, had to actually go break ice in the troughs a few times a day! That’s usually not a thing here! Thankfully, I don’t have to mount up to go lookin for calves in a blizzard, like Powder River Cowboy, our Cattle Ranch, has a herd of just 1 head of cattle and 4 horses, a mule and a donkey….. Hard for em to get lost, on our little. 10 acre spread! (And, they can usually be found by the hay bale anyway……) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... My mother was from the upper peninsula of Michigan. She always hung her wash out to dry in the winter, said the wind would flap the clothes and break up the ice, as a bonus her white laundry came out whiter, her theory was the ice falling of the laundry took the minerals that might be in the water with it.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I was stationed on an island park north of Palm Beach for 18 months. Taking a patrol boat out in the winter with spray coming over the bow and 40 degrees was absolutely horrible. Even a Canadian would have been miserable!

Blackwater 53393 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Got up to 28 yesterday and the wind died down. I figured to make a run up to my mom’s this morning, but it was snowing and 16 this morning! We got more white stuff today than we did last week and Schoolmarm begged me to wait ‘til tomorrow to go to Kentucky. SUPPOSED to be in the 40s tomorrow, so I guess I can wait. It DID get up to freezing today… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
