Two nights in a row forecast for -38*F actual low temps. Add in a nice breeze for some windchill factor for good measure. Week number two of it.

Cold weather gear? I'm retired man! I just won't be going outside is all.I hear you Conrad. This just happens to be the week I’m doing livestock chores for a buddy. I’m not as concerned for the cattle. They have protection and are doing fine. I’m hoping the waterers don’t freeze up! They can be a huge PIA.
The poor animals though...
Alright! Three of us that like the stock exhaust because it is quiet.
I guess I'm still a member of that group, always like the lack of sound.
but I do think clipping a bit of it's length, makes a nice compromise... no real loud difference, just the slightest pleasant tone, while still virtually as quiet as prior...
MoB, is there a thread describing how you did this? Think I might be interested. Winter project to keep myout of the wife's wayerr, busy. Thanks.

Appears to be the coldest night so far in the current cold stretch. Weather service predicts -43*F actual temp tonight, but the winds have calmed down. So, we've got that going for us....
Good luck with those chores!Made it through the coldest temps without waterers freezing up. I call that a success.
Minus 26 here this morn with a wind chill of 45 below!
My dogs don't spend much time outside doing their 'business'.
-29*F here this morn with a wind chill of -56*F.
Today's high temp is -4*F but that's supposed to happen just before midnight tonight.
That's brisk baby!

"Opium-Addicted" Parrots Affecting Poppy Cultivation In Madhya Pradesh
But a large group of parrots feed on poppy plants around 30-40 times a day and some even fly away with poppy pods, said a farmer from Madhya Pradesh.
Daylight Savings time change this weekend. I don't think it saves anything.
