How ya'll down south dealing with the cold snap?

[Tollster]

Watch ya'll blooms if they're flowering, if ya can help it and its not too big a job... Fruits can take a real beating and hammer any fall crops... I try to cover what I can when we get late frost... which is after May 16th in my area.. Heavy blankets, sheets and plastic tarps won't work for what its worth...

Sunny here, and 19 degrees, 4 or so inches on the way, had measurable snow on the ground since first week of the year... ready for it to be over..

Turkeys are taking a beating this year from what I have heard due to the snow pack..

We've been staying home and complaining. A lot.

The cold isn't too bad. However, the snow, 10 inches last week, makes for a hard time trying to feed the cattle. Fortunately, I did lay in extra hay this year. I guess the wooly caterpillars were right.

From snow that shut everything down Wednesday to about 65*-70* and sunny today.

We have been in the teens a couple times this winter .. No single digits

I'm not aware if we have winter blend diesel here or not..
Never knew there was such a thing until TBN.

We broke a record here for 10 days of below 0 in February that was set in 1855.

Really sucks, winter serves no purpose at all :hissyfit:[/QUOTE


Winter gives you a break from that summer heat in Texas that serves no purpose. :laughing:

Lifes normal down here when the summer heat is on, hotter the better.

LOTS of records being broken in Ohio for sure, all of then for well below normal records. We are also coming up for most consecutive days of snow on ground too, think we are in 4th or 5th place as of this weekend (1944, 77, 78, 2013 then 2014.) Highest level of Ice on Great Lakes for time of year as well... Was -11 last night & calling for 10" of snow tomorrow but warmer !!!

Agree a million percent with you. It sucks big time.

I moved back to my home town and am remodeling a house currently that I'm buying and don't have running water as of yet. I've been carrying water for drinking and flushing the toilet.

Well I had a 5 gallon water jug like the one in the below picture. I had it full of water and forgot to bring it in last night. Well the darn thing froze and broke the bottom out as well as broke the sides in half.



At least I still have a few more of those jugs with the water. Can't flush the toilet anyway as the darn toilet is frozen right now as there is no heat in the bathroom area. Well there's no heat in any other part of the house except the bedroom I'm staying in.

I hate using that toilet though as it's freezing in that bathroom. lol And it don't help that near the toilet is a hole in the floor with cold air blowing up through those holes. xd Makes it that much colder.

I just wish this darn cold weather would be gone as well as the snow we got.

Been going to my parents house a few blocks down the road to shower. They have good heat. Well they wouldn't if they hadn't bought the newer mobile home they're currently living in.

The 30 year old furnace in the 30 year old mobile home they were previously living in went out on them.

My dad woke up freezing that morning. Couldn't get the furnace started. They were in the process of moving to the new place anyway. They just had to move out of the old place sooner.

The roads were getting bad and dad didn't know if they would be able to make it the 11 miles to their new place. Luckily they did as they probably would've froze to death in that house.

This is how it's going 35 miles north of the Texas line.
