A balmy 11F here.
Cold weather coming ( finally)
- Thread starter Snagglefoot
- Start date
One time at pickleball when I was taking my warm up shirt off, my t shirt lifted up in back.
Some dude starts yelling about my hairy back.
What?I had a flashback to high school.
I can attest that I am glad I got a 0w30 in there right now. Kinda wish I had used more 0w30 Redline, but it was all I had. Filled up with generic 87 E0 with a splash of pea in the tank as that's what Hy-Vee fuel 
got. Have found in extreme cold that having a ethanol content under 5-6 percent makes starting easier and it gets warmer quicker.

13F out in the country. To be low 30’s tomorrow. When it hits 51F next work maybe I’ll go golfing 
Wow. A Silverback.

If I was a kid I’d say looks like fun. Glad we only got 3” here
It's just not melting. It all started cold and dry 11 days ago. One day our high didn't get over 10°F. It snowed 4-5 days ago I think. So after 10 days, yesterday was the first day over 32°F!! Made it to 34°F air, but the ground is so cold.If I was a kid I’d say looks like fun. Glad we only got 3” here
This is not exactly typical, but shoot it's the weather. Wife says we are out of eggs. I could hit one of the neighbor's up, but heck - let's bust OUT of here!
I’m close enough to two grocery stores and gas station and essentials so I usually walk most of the time.
Sweet. That's our plan when I bust through 75 years old!!
Not worried about food. My sauerkraut is nearing the end of ferment. OK another week or so. But I have a freezer full of beef and meats and another full of garden veggies and other non-meats. Two full fridges. Plus the two pantries. And the garage shelves.
I'm hungry. I have 2 hours and 40 minutes and 27 seconds until I can eat, but who's counting?
It’s back to 32 F today. At 27 F, the heat pump set point was reached and it started running again. It’s going into defrost cycles to rid itself of some ice buildup that occurred a couple of weeks ago. When the temp dropped back then, the unit started to ice up in the high humidity and 27 F was reached before it was able to de-ice completely. I took this picture after it started up, but before it got completely de-iced. You can see the ice build up on some of the fins. It’s a 3.5 ton American Standard. Down low you can see some snow residue where I shoveled snow away. The coldest it got here was -33 F for part of one day. It was a new cold record for that day of the year. The high today is forecast to be 43 F.
