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!!

Global Warming? I survived the 2025 Gulf of America Beach Blizzard. Those folks can't drive!

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'd rather sweat than freeze. My theory is ...... The warmer it is, the less women wear. Thus....Show me a man who likes cold weather and I'll show you a man who doesn't like women.
Aw, my friend, you have it all wrong! the colder it is, the more they want to cuddle! |
