We're having some extremely cold (for us) weather coming in the first of the week. Lows in the single digits with wind chills below zero. With highs in the teens. Coldest weather we've had in like 20 years. But it's pleasant this weekend (like 40-something now). So I have to winterize the animals and water. Give the dogs hay and shavings to sleep on, fill up water, put out hay for the horses, get a heater for the well house and hope to hell the pipes don't break even if they freeze. Ect. I will hopefully be getting posts as the captain and Henry out today or tomorrow, though. If not, well I have a feeling I'll be bunkered down and mostly inside the start of the week. Except Monday they're delivering gas for the heaters, but that won't take long and Monday isn't suppose to be too horrible. 30 I think.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I always get confused when you Yanks talk about temperatures... I'm thinking 30 is bloody hot...! We're lucky if we get temperatures that high in the summer...<br/><br/>Then I remember that you still use the archaic Fahrenheit system...<br/><br/>(30-32)*5/9 = (-2)*5/9 = -10/9 = -1 & 1/9... So basically -1.111 °C ... Nice.<br/><br/>It's one of the daftest things about the UK, that we have the same sort of winters as Alabama, but the same sort of summers as Alaska! Thank the North Atlantic Current for that.<br/><br/>My best advice is to wear plenty of layers. Lots of thin layers will keep you a lot warmer than one thick one!<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=191946.msg9406308#msg9406308">Quote from: Aysande on 04-01-2014, 22:34:41</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">This emphasizes so much how further north I love from you... I'm like zero? What's the panic about?  It's like -20F here, right now. Then I re-read and realize that if it's so unusual for you guys you aren't as prepared for it as we are. As far as I am concerned, take your time and don't stress over answers. Waiting a day or two more won't be a catastrophe and posts are always better when rested, rather than exhausted. *hugs*<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Hee hee. I'm further North than you, unless you're in Canada or Alaska, and we have temperatures in the low teens Celsius right now, that's the mid fifties Fahrenheit. It's not a question of latitude!
