[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1837677, member: 39122"] We barely got above freezing yesterday and only for a few hours at best. I had my guys come into work so we could clear sidewalks, streets around the school (city doesn't clear anything) and parking lots in case we had school today. I can monitor all the hvac systems from my laptop at home as well as room temperatures, we had a few go down so had to get them back going. We have a little 18 hp kubota with FWD and a front end loader to clear sidewalks and a 40 hp kubota FWD and loader for everything else. I can walk that little kubota up stairs a little ways as well to clear the steps as well. We didn't have school today because there are still roads that are bad and the city was struggling to keep water pressure due to pumps going out, the city had no water at some point yesterday. I pulled a dumb move and forgot to leave the faucet dripping night before last and the pipe coming into our house busted so had to repair that last night. We built a new well house this past summer and I insulated it well,had a heat lamp going in it. When I filled some 5 gallon buckets out of the hydrant on the side of the well house yesterday morning the water was warm. One of my renters text me day before yesterday and said his house wouldn't get above 60, I told him I'd check it out. Heat was working as it should but is just a 15kw electric furnace and it couldn't keep up, house is in wooded area and never gets sun. We have been in single digits at night with negative windchills since Saturday night, was in the 20s last night so much better. I had to shovel the ice off of the top of my tanks because it had built up so thick that even when busted there wasn't much of an opening. [/QUOTE]
