damn!!! we got some strong wind warnings for today/tomorrow, maybe some power outages due to fallen trees coming this way. I've gotta swap out the 30weight oil for synthetic if I'm gonna run my generator in this cold weather, balls.
thankfully I'm not in the Red River Valley, they'll be seeing gusts of up to 55mph from the south, it's those unusually high winds from an odd direction (like from the south) that knocks down trees that are used to being pushed primarily from W & NW. We're getting gusts up to 30mph, and again that's from the south until it shifts direction later.
20F right now w/18mph winds, it feels like 5F w/windchill factoring.

You did start your generator a couple times last summer right? lol
I had to run it twice last year in warmer weather, both times during 2 hour scheduled blackouts for line repairs. We had a longer 5 hour outage that I'd decided to leave the house during, fuck the genny, I went & chilled for a couple of hours in Perkins and then did some shopping before heading home. As I was driving north to go home I passed all the line crew trucks heading home on their way south, I knew the power was restored to my place seeing them.
oh, btw, I use a propane generator, fuel never goes bad nor gums up the carb, although I do miss having my gasoline beast of a genny on hand; it never failed me even with old fuel in it, always hi-test & always with stabilizer in it as well.
When you depend on power equipment for times of keeping quality of life going you learn how to maintain even the smallest of items you own.
You know damn well how cold weather f***ks with everything.
20f or so in upstate ny
pretty normal for the time of year
forecast is for kind of cold, but nothing close to records
for which i am grateful
we mostly have some single digit(+) temps coming up according to my NOAA status right now, but we'll get nightly lows way below zero, still a walk in the park for us up here.
however, when we get the combination of these 3 Canadian fronts unloading on us it spells big trouble in Minnesota & elsewhere: the Manitoba Mauler, the Alberta Clipper & Saskatchewan Screamers. -40F ~ -50F before any windchill factoring.
We had an actual -60F (Tower, MN) back in Feb of '96, @ my home it was -54F.......

You guys always get nailed hard.
You have to admit, Manitoba Mauler, Alberta Clipper & Saskatchewan Screamers would be great names for strains. And lets not forget the Chinook! lol
Fuck I'm trademarking those today.
Taking Pre-Orders Now!
Southern of Morocco (Zagora), first time snow
we've got some wicked cold coming, next few nights gonna have actual temps -20F & colder, windchills of -40F & beyond, again only @ night...
we're promised daytime highs of 6F, 9F & 5F, good ice fishing weather
the roads on the ice are so clearly plowed that my Buick has no problem getting to the 2 ice castle rigs I have been granted access to.
took my old dog shears and ran them 'cross my mug last night, my face feels liberated although I usually wait 'til spring to do it, bet that beard weighed better than a pound.

It gets Hot Here. I’ve seen 100+ for a hundred days.
To 110f is too hot for me, 90’s fine. It’s going 87+ today, then back down to the 70’s next week.
