Who left the door open

You guys up north can close the door any time now cause enough is enough. They are talking near record lows for Monday morning.
Well guess I better check the anti freeze in my tractor and turn on the pump house light cause its looking like a let the kitchen faucet drip all night kind of week to keep my water pipes from freezing.

john, I live in NW Wisconsin,weather man said sub zero temps for at least 96 hours,not much fun being out doors feeding the livestock.

Shoot those numbers are not close to cold. They are saying the high here in Missouri Monday will be maybe 5 tops and wild chill down to 15-20 below. Plus there calling for 1-12 inches of snow depending on where you are

JD2ACWD,
so do we,pal.lol. Wife heard from radio,tonight another sub zero temps with 30 mph wind,somewhere close to -30 to-40 below. We chuckle when we read the complaints of just 10 above.lol.
The Southerners can't say we're stingy, we share the cold with everybody.They keep the warm temps to themselves this time of year.lol

We went thru the dumpster spring garden seed,only going to need to plants onions,and sweet potatoes, if the ground ever thaws out. My guess is around August.lol

Isn't January 2014 a swell start?

Don't really feel all that sorry for you. My house is in the pink. lol I know that is cold for you folks down there. Blizard tonight and tomorrow then cold for us.

john in la · Jan 3, 2014

Yes this is cold for us.
My pond has had ice on it once in 35 years and I need to let my faucet drip about twice a year on average.

Pretty cold here too, but I don't mind. I guess my temp gauge is wrong for outdoor. Indoor is right, other thermostats say 71!

They are almost as bad as the guys in Europe, they start counting backwards when the water barely starts to turn hard!

wisbaker · Jan 3, 2014

We're in central Iowa, in the blue (-30 to -50), we used to live in Florida, trying to remember why in the heck we moved. You know the sound a grapefruit makes when you hit it with a lawnmower?.......I Miss that sound!!!!!!! But on the bright side I don't have to mow the grass this week.

JD2ACWD · Jan 3, 2014

Lou from Wi,the weather john from la,has is t-shirt weather for us,lol,sure wish those southern boys would invite us down for a week or so!

jon f mn · Jan 3, 2014

Now that alone almost makes it worth while. lol

john in la · Jan 3, 2014

My dad and mom live about 40 miles south of me in New Orleans. I have seen people cutting green grass the last week in December over there.

JayinNY · Jan 3, 2014

Hahahaha, that's to darn funny," the sound a grapefruit makes when u hit it with a lawn mower" that made me crack up.

The great thing about the south is while we may complain about this cold snap; it will be short lived. Suppose to be near 70 my next weekend

Steve@Advance · Jan 3, 2014

Come on down, I wouldn't wait for an invite, it would be a matter of survival for me, drop below 50 and I'm miserable!

But come at your own risk, what cold we've had has started a flu epidemic here in north Texas.

Cliff Nelson · Jan 3, 2014

I don't mind the feeding but today I spent half the day with a froze waterer. Started at -20 this morning. Better today than Monday I guess.

Pardon me while I smile and nod a bit.

When it comes to weather the northern folks are purty generous and more than willing to share. There is plenty to go around. In Minnesota we have not had low's like this in 20 years or so. In another couple of weeks or so it should start looking better.

teddy52food · Jan 4, 2014

Last week they were doing the polar plunge in Mn.

ss55 · Jan 4, 2014

That would be typical October weather in central Minnesota. We're getting ready for another three days of sub-zero highs again next week. It's an old-time winter here.
