It is now 0 here, and I just did the cup of boiliing water trick. Take a cup of boiling water and throw it into the air (the water...not the cup).

There will be a big puff of steam as the water evaporates, and at our current temperature of zero only a few drops hit the ground. By tonight when it is -4, I bet none of the water reaches the ground.

(Temperature) Reply #20 - 01/06/14 at 13:01:20 Yea,, common sense tells me that IF there has been a slow rise in temps globally for the last 15 years or so it should be kinda hard to be setting low temp records.. & that ship stuck in the Antarctic? That was some serious irony there..

Well it made it up to +3*F today and now at 8:58 pm EST it's back down to -6.2. We spent all day going out every hour checking on the chickens and refreshing their water supply. Could only handle 15 minutes each trip,then had to get inside and thaw out.

At this rate it'll be at least -10*F in the morning. And we've had 20 mph winds with 30mph gusts all day and still blowing strong. Thankfully the weather wizards are calling for back to normal temps of 38-40*F by Thursday!

Well I have been running Rotella 15W-40 in my car........that stuff gets thick at -3! Last night when I started the car to drive home the starter turned the car over far slower than I am used to, and the car chugged and wheezed for the first couple of miles, and the temperature gauge never got up to the normal range. Last night I cut a piece of cardboard to block the air flow through the radiator and left a hole about 1/4 the normal radiator size.....I was warm and toasty on the way to work and the temperature gauge was right where it was supposed to be.

Holy crap USA the weather in Britain is crazy at the moment storms from the Atlantic destroying the coast and causing floods ( at this rate there will be 60 million people living in an area the size of a couple of football fields

) but the freezing weather over there looks really crazy - was watching a report from Minneapolis ( The deep freeze capitol of America - apparently ) and it was biblical - take care & keep warm fellas

Woke up this morning at 7am to a temp of 15 degrees here in north florida, 9-14 mph winds, so that puts us at about 12 degrees, and i'm 5 blocks from the ocean.... LOL the wife says we need to move further south!

Its supposed to only get 36 degrees here today and drop back down again tonight to around 17 degrees, they are already having brown-outs and sometimes full power outages for 5-10 minutes at a time, I don't see why they do that, my heat-pump runs for 45 min and then shuts off for about 5 min and kicks back on again.

Guess I might have to just get out the little generator and test it out with a couple heaters Cheesy
