How cold was it?

   / How cold was it? #11  
Here in Alabama school started 2 hours late because it was 25 F outside.

Now when I was stationed in Alaska, we got to stay in if it was -60 F and below. That is why the wife said she was moving back to the lower 48. She didn't like having to wear a sweater in the summer to have a picnic.

So cold that yesterday at the hay sale it had warmed up to 0 and it felt kind of balmy.

Local record set here Sun nite at -14F, officially, besting the previous record for date set in 1942.

Neighbor called at 1:00 AM to announce that power was out, welcomed me to visit and sit by wood heater if it got too cold. Grabbed another blanket and snoozed 'til 8:00 AM. By then it was 50 in the house (vs usual 66) so I turned front stove burners on to 'med' and lit a few candles in the shop downstairs. Found/fixed an old radio to catch Diane (Rehm) & Terry (Gross) on battery power. By noon it was up to 1F outside and I held 50^ inside 'til the power came back on at 4:00 PM.

Just another cold day. :)

We still have not had our usual -40+ temps of previous years. We gotta get at least a week of-40 to -50F to kill off the black fly larva.
