How are you fairing in the extreme cold? I know it is reaching pretty far south. Good here in Missouri, so far.
That sucks. I hate messing with water because it only happens when it's the coldest. I keep 2 heaters in the pump house, one set at a temperature lower than the other. That way if the first one fails the second one should kick on.-12 wind chill yesterday and we were out for 4 hours. Relatively new heater in one of the well houses died, pipes not only froze but a chunk of an elbow broke off. Looks like I'll be breaking ice in the pond for a while. But at least the pond is full; it was almost completely dry until a couple months ago, so there's that.
I know somebody that works for the weather service. From what I can gather, he thinks the weather people on the news kind of like to sensationalize things.Have the local weathermen in your area gone crazy with the computer projections and models? Here the weather has become almost unwatchable, almost as bad as the news.
Our forecasts have been all over the board, with 70 mph wind and snow being mentioned. So far it has turned colder but not that dramatically.
The forecast shows "Weather Alert Days" as far as the eye can see, yet it seems to be typical January weather to me, typical of the cold spells we have had in the past.
Our Ritchie at the barn is the bomb!0° in OKC with a projected high of 9°. Predicted snow doesn't look like it's going to materialize. Sure glad to have my Ritchie insulated waterer in place this year.
Good idea! I sacrificed my heater in the garage and just checked, pipes are now clear. Fortunately, we have another elbow so hopefully will get that fixed later today.That sucks.
