12 degrees and falling.

We have a dusting of snow...enough to cover most stuff about 1/3".

This time yesterday it was 54...now 11.

Wah, wah, wah  :'(

I left Des Moines at 11:00am, and it was 15f; after four and a half hour drive on ice, I arrived in Sioux City, and it was 7f; another three hours later, most of which in the shop trying to get the reefer started, it was 1f, and I headed northeast;  two and a half hours later I pulled in at home, and the thermometer reads (read) -16f.  Supposed to hit -27f tonight with a high of -2f Sunday.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Sunday the 18th 4:30 AM as I type this. My outside weather station says 34 degrees. That's COLD for here. It will most likely hit freezing by the time the Sun comes up. I'll turn on the falls and the filter pump on the pool just to be safe. Day's like this are why I don't plant fruit trees.

Puppy dog woke me up at 6:15 this morning.  Outdoor thermometer reads -26.9f!  I'm not going outside to double check!  I'll just trust that it is DAMN  COLD!  I have enough corn in the house to keep the burner going all day, and I can see the Okey Dokey light on the reefer from the living room window.  Time for more coffee.

Not a fit time for man or beast.  Minus 30....beejeebers.  I'm at 1 degree here now and the sensor is a few inches from the brick wall so it may be zero.  The official reading a couple miles down the lake says 3 degrees but the wind is blowing across 4 miles of lake to that sensor so the air is warmed up some around it.
