The Official Great Christmas Blizzard of 2022 Thread

Be glad you’re not in the TVA area today. My brother said it was 0 at his place in TN today. 0 temps aren’t real common down there but they’re not unheard of either.

It got cold. It got windy. We got dusted with less than an inch of snow.

Another massive whiff by the weatherboys.

About 4 or 5 inches at HoughMade Meadows...now blowing around.

I‘m thinking just across the river at Tell City is the place to be right now….

Best job in the world... You can totally miss it and keep your job.

Probably a pocket of swamp gas.

I learned that on Men in Black

Wind took down the neighbors flag pole, snapped it off right in the middle. I got the flag unclipped thawed and folded then shoved it into his mailbox. Woke up to the furnace struggling to get the house over 60° so I got some blankets over a couple windows and the doorway to the back room and we manage to hit 70°.

I broke out the propane heater and running it on low to help the heat pump (and my electric bill) out.
Its at least taking breaks periodically now.

Wondering when the blizzard will get here?

Got maybe a couple inches of snow. Gusty winds, especially overnight. It is darned cold (-8 *F this morning). Wood stove is roaring. Furnace kicks on now and then.

Chickens are NOT happy about getting locked in their coop. But, the inside temp is in the 20's, so they are fine.

Dog took a nap on the patio. Finally got him to come in with some treats. #NewfieLife

They rely on those computer models and lack the real ability to dig into the data and make a forecast. Back in the 70s my grandfather only watched the weather from the Champaign news channel. That ol’ boy was usually spot on with storms. We would get the edge of the fronts within 15 minutes of his predictions. These people today are parrots.

We have our heat set at 67 daytime, 57 nighttime. Knock on wood, it is doing fine. As much as we like to look outside, we keep the shades pulled. It helps a lot. If I open a shade there is ice on the inside of the windows.

I put on a tyvek suit under my clothes for a wind breaker.

 

[tmschuller]

I loaded up the wood boiler this morning at 4:30 and just checked it’s doing good. Just checked on horses and one or two are staying outside for whatever reason.. gave them some more hay
House is 70 but that mother *+=$&&*%%^*€~^#*<£~*~$@&@@@&&!!!!! Wind.

I worried about waking up to similar but we have the churchmouse system installed in 2018. Last night it told me to replace the filter, so I did. We've been truckin' along at 70° ever since.

OOOOh, BBBbbbrrr

Am I a bad person for keeping my house at 74?
The limestone exterior holds temp very nice inside.

We keep ours at 72. Limestone over cinderblock here.

We have a tri-level. The lower level window facing the wind has ice on the inside. Just took took the dog out and got the mail. The wind is ridiculous. Looking at the extended forecast for next week. They are saying 50 next Friday. Who knows. Stay safe everyone!

Naw, we just have a poorly insulated home in one section and need to be as frugal as we can.

So we keep the house hot in the summer and cool in the winter.

We are used to 67 now and 57 is fine for sleeping.
