Expecting another storm tomorrow. Cold rain. Snow here would be major headline.
 
Uugg one of my vent covers came out and now I have a frozen pipe between the sink and the fridge. Not how I wanted to start my weekend. I had this happen a few years ago, had a vent I didn't know about hidden behind my dog kennel and had the same freezing issue. Hopefully it will thaw quickly with a heater in the crawl space, like last time.

I have an outdoor thermometer I can check by looking out of the window. I hope it is broken. Because, right now, it shows the temp at 39 degrees below zero.

Are you sure that's not showing the score of the Blazers game?

Ha! Funny you should mention this. I triple checked before posting.

Did you know at minus 40, both C and F are the same?

Lol! No I didn’t. I knew 32 Fahrenheit is 0 Celsius but didn’t know the ratio going in either direction. So then does that mean that 32 Celsius is like 90 Fahrenheit? Spreading further apart the warmer it gets?
I thought it was simply a 1-1 change.

No idea how the ratio works. Had to look at the thermometer. Darn you are close. Looks like 32 C = about 88 F.

I was in Fairbanks when it was 58 below. Got stranded there as planes couldn't fly for several days. That was about 32 years ago and a Canadian C120 transport plane crashed at Ft. Wainright, frozen fog.

Wow. My quick mental math is still fairly sound! lol.

Stay safe and warm out there on your tractor. Enclosed cab by chance? If so I’d be in it all day!!! :)

No cab on the tractor, just a roll bar, which comes in handy at times.

No outdoor play today, hate to admit it, but I'm wussing out.

Staying on top of everything, so far, no issues. Have a generator on standby, if we lose power.
 
Holy shit! 16 degrees here in NE Portland. Crazy sideways wind. Started snowing here at 9am......Looks like an inch or so on the ground.
 
Fluffy dry snow though, not our normal wet stuff. Easy to drive in.
 
The wife saw that the hummingbird feeder was frozen over this morning. Fortunately we have two so she thaws one out in front of the fire and puts a thawed one out for the hummers. They came right away and started feeding. Seems like she'll be busy all day keeping the feeders thawed out.
 
Ants decided it was to cold in the crawl space or wall space. Saw something on the floor in Lashanna's room, looked closely and a long trail of ants. Had to toss her food and move food and water temporarily. Then found some in a kitchen cabinet. Sprayed vinegar base ant killer all over.
