To put -40 into a little perspective...it's 72 degrees colder than freezing. It's further from freezing than 100 above is!

Currently 12 degrees here in the Texas Hill Country, steady North wind at 20mph. Furnace will run almost constant. This coming weekend temps are predicted to be near 80.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Experienced quite a few mid -30 and such but only twice have I been out in -40, it takes your breath away, seems way colder then it should, just a few degrees really cuts like a knife.
Last couple nights have only been mere low -20's , I love global warming!!

Been timing the furnace cycles this morning.
Outside temp 14 degrees
Straight line North winds at 20 mph(constant)
Thermostat set at 68 F
Furnace kicks on, and runs a steady 23-24 minutes
Cycle off is just short of 4 minutes

Cold in western Iowa also. Several days in last 2 weeks of high temps near zero and below. Local TV had picture of the FROZEN Missouri River @ Sioux City, IA today 2/19/2025, the 3rd time according to records. Frozen in 1930, 1984 and 2/19/2025. But on Monday it's to get near 50*F and 40-50 highs most of next week. Warnings for property near Missouri & other nearby rivers to watch for ice jams as ice breaks up next week as it may cause lowland flooding. |

Ground source this morning running for all its worth. Just keeping up and wife STILL will Not relent and allow me to have Wood Stove installed.
Bounced off -10 at 6:45, back up to a balmy -8 currently, supposed to hit high teens by 2pm. Tomorrow starts at 0 then climbs to mid to upper 20s late afternoon, does not get below teens until Sunday where barely hits freezing at night. Next Week HIGH 50s, may even see 60s, but rain on Wed.

I'm really, really hoping it DOES warm up as 'they' say it will, long enough to melt the foot of snow and ice off the low pitched back roof. I've already used Kubota to remove 2-3 feet of snow from around the house,hoping the warm rain we're supposed to get will go where I want it to..... sigh Winter USED to be fun.... 50 -60 YEARS ago......

You are all lucky Shameless did not leave the key to "the machine" where anybody has found it YET.  Why with this much cold it could take all summer to melt all his "PRETTY".
Happy shoveling  . No shoveling makes up for much of the other "STUFF" I put up with In the Land of Fruits and Nuts.

Yesterday was the first day I put on the 'thin' leather gloves, at 43 degrees. Other wise it was chopper mitts with gloves inside or long cuff fleece lined mitts with heavy chore gloves inside. Gees, the older I get the colder the digits get. Today suppose to hit 48 for a high, right now it is 41 degrees. Don't see anything as high as for the next 7 days.

We hit 55 degrees yesterday. Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, we had 40 below. I believe that that is about the biggest temperature swing I've ever seen in my life in that short of a time frame.
In the 10 day forecast, there isn't a cold temperature. Maybe spring is here.

Got to 48 here today. Strong thunderstorm rolled through this afternoon. Thunder, Lightning strikes and some small hail. Reports of possible tornado in the area. Saw what looked like a wall cloud but didn't pay much attention to it because it's FLIPPEN FEBRUARY!

Truckerfarmer.......... Darwin, that is a cute picture!! How does the dog get up there?
I remember back in the late 50's thru the 70's that it would stay below zero for 3 or 4 weeks at a time. And we never had a 'windchill' then either. My fingers have never gotten over that....

He jumps into the seat and climbs up on the back of the recliner. Usually when I go to sit down he jumps down, but that day he stayed laying there.
He's kinda like Snoopy, but instead of sitting on a doghouse, he sits on the back of our recliners. He will even take a nap up there.

Our old Dachsy would do that!! Cute Dog.
I am off work for a day or three!, with Surface frost out the roads around here turned to sponge and break out horribly with truck traffic. Even the Quarry pathways are like that over solid rock floor. Is around a three to four inch layer of Mud on all the roads here where below that is hard froze and will take a few rainy days to clear that up.
Hauled ten loads of Creek Rock/Sand harvest yesterday, truck was a rolling mess Outside the bed.
