All that is too cold for me. I can make it in the 100 degree summers.

Went out and fired truck up and went inside while it warmed up, noticed when I went to leave no gauge was working, not the oil, not the rpm, not the temp gauge, no fuel gauge, no battery gauge, and no speedo, didn’t start working again till I fired it up to come home and all gauges were now working.
Guess it got too cold for electricity to flow.🤣

Dang wind has finally settled down. I'll be working half a day, then going fishing in the afternoon.

Ya know Jim, your place was one of the cooler places I’ve had the privilege of visiting, thanks again for your hospitality 😎
On the topic of this thread, 22F this morning where I’m at, supposed to be 18 this time tomorrow. School attendance where I’m at is gonna be way low tomorrow (closed today for MLK). Most kids around here don’t have anything resembling winter clothing.

Minus 4 this morning. Saturday was -14. I took the dog out Saturday at 0400 and had a cup of coffee with me. The coffee froze so fast the ice was still warm. 😁
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

-32F here this morning. I fired up the excavator, yesterday, to clear some snowdrifts. It took quite a while for the controls to start working properly. This on the new Kubota, with electronic controls. After about 20 minutes, it was responding closer to normally. Supposed to start to warm tomorrow evening. GD

Topped out at -17F this afternoon but the breeze was minimal and it felt nice enough.
We've had two JD tractors running continuously since Friday morning. The transfer fuel tank is on my old black F350 farmer pickup and rather than battle that thing I started hauling diesel in 5 gallon jugs. Screw that plan, I'm gonna get the ol' black stallion going tomorrow!
And I've been wondering, given our minimal amount of snow(not much ground insulation....), if this frigid chit will kill the fricken' grasshopper eggs? Really cold snaps for a couple days kill what, the pine beetle? Wondering if it doesn't hurt the hoppers as well. I don't think the cold will kill off pine beetles. We had several 50 to 60 below events back in the late 70's and early 80"s. That was the same era when the pine beetles were ravaging the greater Yellowstone area. It obviously didn't bother them at all. I don't have a clue if it affect hoppers.

Jim Conrad, Looks like your next problem is going to be squashed little pigs, my Grandmother called it Squishitis.
We used our soft wool or cotton mittens to rub baby pigs when it was below zero spent many nights rubbing little pigs, yours looks like a good set up we didn't have a heater, just a pot belled wood stove, Good Luck Rio7

It was completely clear almost no breeze and 1F here in NE WI. Pleasant enough to work up a sweat scraping and shoveling the driveway.
