Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Friday night temps plunged to -7 F plus wind chill from 50 mph wind. Radiant system could not keep up. House temp fell to 56, even with the gas fireplace running. Added electric heaters on Saturday, thawed the pipes. Luckily, nothing burst. Saturday remained frigid. This morning, we are at 45 with bright sun. I guess I can put the electric heaters away for awhile. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Same here in northern Indiana. I'm worried about the old water mains in the town I run to start buckling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Right now it’s 46. It might reach 54. Friday night it was 10 with a breeze. The “feels like” temp was 0. Right now I am getting ready to take a ride on my motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 In my 63 years of being alive and looking at the long statistics it’s mostly hype. There’s only been a very minimum change in the weather. We just don’t live long enough to feel the normal planet changes. Axis shift plays an important part. As well as volcanic activity and many other factors. We as humans have very little effect on the weather unless we are purposefully doing so. Which is also possible since we as well as our enemies have been studying the ability to do so for over 100s of years. If not longer. Ancients even tried to seed the skies for rain.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I agree TTT. (I'm in my 80th year.) I remember class trips to the Victoria Museum in Ottawa where educators would show us tree rings from old growth Redwoods etc. and they would explain how the climate had changed, from time to time, even for decades and they would explain how other disciplines such as astronomers, geologists, volcanologists etc. were able to relate the changes to Sun activities, volcanoes etc. that occurred long before man could have had any impact on climate. They told us about the mile thick glacier that covered where we now stood, long before man could have any effect. (Maybe it was caused by the Mammoth or Sabre Tooth Tiger Industries of the time??) Not so sure our kids hear about that any more. No money in it I guess. If you talk to me about dumping crap in our oceans, lakes and rivers, I can relate and I'll believe what your saying and I abhor it. If you talk to me about the use of non renewable resources, I'll listen. Have some viable alternatives available in your presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderRiverCowboy Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 This area is famous for temp changes That day started out very cold in Spearfish, and at 7:30 am MST the temperature recorded was -4°F. At that time Chinook winds picked up speed and two minutes later at 7:32 am the temperature rose to +45° F. This was a 49° increase in just two minutes that is a record that still stands. Temperatures continued to rise and at 9:00 am the temperature reached +54° F. As the chinook winds died down and 27 minutes later the temperature dropped 58° F back to -4° F. The rapid temperature fluctuation that day caused glass windows to crack and instantly frosted car windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
