We are going to get those temps here next week and we are 1000 miles south.
Have you looked at our forecast for the next two weeks?Y'all are a lot tougher than me to handle that cold like that for so long. I'll take the heat and humidity any day. We're only a couple weeks into winter, and I'm already counting down the days til Spring. These temperature swings we've been having down here are tough on folks and cattle.
You must have just done a hot and steamy one in that outside $hithouse Dave, steam is coming from the vent pipe.
Yep. Not looking forward to the cold. Good you are planning ahead for that so you won't have to bust ice, and it refreeze right back shortly after. The positive I'm trying to find is as of right now at least it looks like it will hopefully be dry for a few days after Monday, so it could be worse. The days with temps in the 30s and rain/sleet and wind are miserable.Have you looked at our forecast for the next two weeks?
I ordered heat tape, a heated hose and a tank warmer yesterday. I am getting too damn old to go chop ice every day when it is cold.

Doesn't seem like a lot of stockpiled firewood there, do you cut it as you go in winter? I imagine you would be too busy over summer to get much done.

Wood shed is full and there is still most of a truck load of logs left from last year. Grandsons and I cut some a couple days ago, maybe we can do some more before I take them home on Saturday.You must have just done a hot and steamy one in that outside $hithouse Dave, steam is coming from the vent pipe.

And the shop!That's not a $hithouseThat's an outdoor wood furnace. You can heat a whole house with them.
Oscar has a little grease on him too. He is quite fussy on the kind of day he likes to stay out and harass the mice and squirrels.Oscar and the heifers look like they are haired up for the cool weather!
Grandsons are good for that only trouble is mine doesn't visit much these days he is too busy with his sailing, regattas down south at the moment then they go over to Europe for regattas there towards the middle of the year.Wood shed is full and there is still most of a truck load of logs left from last year.

Oscar is looking a bit portly there, looks like he has been in a good paddock.Youngest grandson helped my this afternoon. We moved the heifer feed row to allow them access to 60 acres of scrub pine for shelter now that they don't seem to be getting sick any more. Panels were froze in quite well. Oscar was along to entertain us.
