I just know it's good from the pump up here. I still wouldn't want to try to buy it in summer and burn it in winter... not a possibility really anyway. USA that is not a guarantee unless you do your own mixing of #1.Troy_ Thanks this. -
We got lucky.
It got down to 6 degrees but there was no wind so it didn’t feel that cold. -
Got down to -14 yesterday. ABC 12 is spouting "record breaking lows." Umm, no. The record is -16. It's close but let's stop with the false statements.
Heck, ABC 12 had people convinced the temp was going to get to -34 this week. The made up number called a wind chill did, amazingly exactly -34.
Any actual real numbers did not actually break any records. If any records get broke, it will be Monday when the high is forecasted to be in the 50's (Currently 52 via Accuweather, but it's been fluctuating from 50-55) But that might not break records even as the high record for today is 55.stwik Thanks this. -
It was -23 last night in Tomah,WI last night.
Half of the trucks here had bunk heaters fail and other issues because of the cold.stwik Thanks this. -
I’ve noticed a LOT lately that media outlets like to start throwing out actual temps, then all the sudden they’re throwing out wind chill temps without making a distinction. So now people are often being fed wind chill temps as actual temps and they’re REALLY freaking out over false information.
ZVar Thanks this. -
I feel sad for the helicopter mom'ed children who become of age unable to withstand the least difficult trouble in our weather. -
