For what it's worth, wind chill won't affect pipes, etc., just exposed skin. Now if you can help me talk my son into letting us take him into work tomorrow morning rather than riding his bike ...
Tex, do you have a nice tie like that?
41 sounds so dam.n good right now.
this may be the occasion to leave a little water running. The problem is the temp is not going back above freezing for two days. That almost never happens i Ga
turn the inside on. the water just needs to be moving
Forgot the sterno.
The earlier discussion about the faucet covers made me do a little research. I found that the styrofoam covers are really only effective down to about 23 when the temps in the day are over freezing.
As a precaution, I turned off the water valves to each spigot and let the water drain out (there was none).
I put the spigot covers back on just because I don’t want to store them.
Around 1986 or so we had single digit temps in south Georgia that exploded the cabbages and onions. Vidalia onions went from being short and flat to being rounder like conventional onions because they started to be planted deeper against future losses. Seems like I've been seeing flatter onions again the last 10 years or so ...
When I was as WAZZU we used to laugh at you weak southern people complaining about 20 degrees. Y'all don't know what cold is. We hit -50 with wind chill one winter and still had class.
When I graduated I swore I would never again live in a place that snows every year...and I have kept that promise.
Reached a high of 10 degrees here in Hiawassee. Wind chills were -10 to 20 below most of the day. Low of 4 degrees overnight and hopefully reaching a balmy 23 degrees tomorrow.
Stay safe and warm DawgNation!!
I usually put the caps over the outdoor spigots, but wifey did some "spring cleaning" and they were nowhere to be found. Went to the hardware store on Wednesday and they were already sold out so I bought the fiberglass pipe wrap and did that with the plastic wrap and of course.......duct tape. So far, so good. Power went out for about 15 minutes. Pretty sure it was a "rolling" power outage, but the fireplace is prepped and ready to go....
I have some friends who live in Hiawasee. They have a nice view of the lake from a mountain ridge. The wind was so strong today, the lake looked more like the Gulf of Mexico than a lake. 🤣
And you can probably imagine what the Gulf looked like today. No short boats allowed.
I’m watching the Mizzou / Wake Forest Bowl Game in Tampa and it’s in the upper 40s! In Tampa!!
Baby, that’s cold!
