Still looks cold...

I am getting annoyed. Second time this winter my pipe froze. Dryer outlet faces west and last time the cap blew off (so I thought was the issue). I stuffed it back on and jammed a rag into it a few days ago to block the wind. Figured that would do the trick. No such luck. Pipe froze in about 3 hours last night.  Turned the dryer on and 10 minutes later horrible banging and clanging noises. Ice jam making its way through the pipes. I had the faucet open so things did not burst. Dodged another bullet.  Left a faucet dripping last night after the thaw and this morning no problem. Was not happy waiting for a late train with windchill at -17 this morning.

School closed here today, not sure why it was colder yesterday and they went. Silly, its winter in CNY. Its cold and snowy. Lefty snowflakes trying to make everyone pansies.

 

I did let the location in St.Paul close yesterday though they were looking at -25 real temp and -60 wind chill lol!

Hard to see but about 40 turkeys in soybeans. Buffalo public schools just closed for tomorrow, which means my wifes charter school in buffalo is closed. 3 days off in a row for her.

After charging the battery inside where it could also warm up the snowblower fired right up and it took me 45 min to do the driveway. Not bad considering the size of it. Now I’m back inside with a drink to warm up.

I got stuck (2) of the last (4) times trying to get into my driveway, after driving home from work with my front-wheel drive car.   The snow was really dense and heavy today, stopping me in my tracks with only the nose of the car off the road.   I had phoned my wife, prior to leaving work, to turn on the switch in the house that energizes the block heater on my loader tractor.  At minus 2 F, there was just barely enough cranking power in the battery for a couple of slow turns.   Fortunately, that was enough to start the luke-warm diesel engine.  If it was one degree colder, we would still be digging that car out of the snowbank with a shovel.   

The snow don't bother me too much, but I will be glad to see the end of these extreme cold temperatures.   I would be very happy if the temperature were to remain between 15 and 32 degrees F, from December 1 thru March 31.   If it gets colder, my tractors don't start good, and if it gets warmer, it gets too hot in the house with the woodstove and I have to use the natural-gas furnaces.    I am very appreciative of the town, county, and state highway crews, who have done a spectacular job of keeping the roads clear.

I  was told the glass bottles I had exploded, they had plastic cap and they were in pieces.

Coldest morning of the season so far. 21 below zero, actual temperature. Warmed up to a balmy 18 below on the way to work. My old truck protested quite a bit, but did start. Mid 40's next week though! Looking forward to that!

[ApexerER]

I jumped in my truck this morning and it said -12. I had it running in the driveway about 20 minutes before I got in. As soon as I started driving it went to -17. I don't mind the snow but this freezing cold sucks.....

Wed a couple fisherman had to be rescued off Oneida Lake. One guy went out and then his 4 wheeler wouldn't start. It was a whiteout on the lake that day with 25-35 mph winds and a -25 to -35 wind chill.  

Guess he stayed in an ice tent and he ended up with some frostbite.  Seems crazy,y to be out in that kinda weather for that.  Lake is littered with guys fishing today but I can see that.  

Wed and Thurs seemed like a death wish to be out there.  Hell the legion has the best fish fry around tonite for 10 bucks.

There is not a fish that swims, that would get me on the ice in -35 degree temps!  But, looking back, I can remember waiting for a deer in wind chill temps nearly that cold. Not sure if you'd could call it dedication or stupidity.

Apparently there is an app called Yeti( it's up an running in Buffalo)...they arrange someone to dig your car out. Heard it usually costs 30-50 bucks....might be worth it.
