Great read Gulo !

I did go ice fishing in Northern NH ( Pittsburg)... It was -45 on the thermometer at the bait shop.

Not a stich of wind

Found this in my truck.... a few years back

At least it didn’t explode

No mess at all.

1964 living in Jackson CO WI we had 53 below on the coldest day, but very little wind. We had a couple days where the high was 30 below with wind. Back in 64 we did not have windchill factors. That year our corn silage silo froze all the way across. Used a grub hoe to chop it out, bring it in the barn a day ahead so it would thaw out to feed to the cows. It was a good way to build up some upper body strength. We kept the milking units in the barn after cleaning them up so the pulsators would work when we milked. That was a long cold winter for sure.

It's a heat wave ! It was -35, now risen up to -30.

It is as clear and gorgeous as can be. Sounds are crisp to the ears. Had to take the pic without gloves as my iPad won't accept a gloved finger. For just a few seconds that was fine. Didn't want my ipad to freeze up either.

My rabbits want to come inside ! Can't blame them. They sit up on their hind legs and look into the door glass.

Stay safe and warm, everyone.

40 degree F drop in 1/2 hr in Cheyenne:

The polar cold front shattered the previous one-hour temperature drop record in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on Wednesday, with temperatures plummeting from 43 degrees to 3 degrees between 1:05 p.m. and 1:35 p.m., the National Weather Service in Cheyenne said. The previous record was a 37-degree drop in one hour.

You couldn't have stayed out for very long, Crowheart ! I can do that for a minute or two , that's it. With no wind.

Michael, those block heaters are a miracle for me. I plug my truck into one a couple hours before departure. They sure do help. Along with synthetic oil...

Drasselt, I saw that on news . Man that was a drop. It dropped here too in a matter of a few hours yesterday afternoon into evening, but nothing as fast as it did in WY. No wonder there's plenty of spots for the Dutton's Train Station ...

-20 at 8 AM outside of Idaho Falls. You people up in Alaska bragging about having this kind of weather can have it lol. Maybe when you reach an elderly age like me when the circulation in your body decreases it won’t be much fun anymore.

Oh man you look like you're having such fun ! grin

On the cold days riding, I would feel the heat from the horse rising even despite the gear. It was always a challenge keeping my toes warm enough . I suppose half taps over the stirrups would have helped .

A total face covering would feel even better!

Be safe !
