Temperatures Too Cold to Report???

Pine beetle numbers apparently way down. One less thing to blame on our living standard.

Watch out for frost bite.
I can't keep my hands warm at all anymore.

Perhaps with minimal snow cover this'll nuke some grasshopper eggs? Lord knows they layed a biblical infestation in waiting.[/QUOTE]

Read one study saying -30 to -35 at surface no eggs hatched.
In lab experiment so hopefully that will happen in the field.
Be a big relief not to have to feed them.

We are not as cold as out west but still bitter cold. Old house with 2-4 walls but with 2 inches of styrofoam insulation on the outside.
Would be really costly to heat with propane but the wood stove really helps in cold weather to keep the house cosy.

Surviving this cold spell so far, hopefully it warms up by Easter.

One of the old 2 1/2 story brick houses next door had a huge wood ,coal furnace in the basement I swear it was the size of a round baler. I remember looking at the deep wore out groves on the wooden steps thinking that was a nasty place to keep warm when it hit -40.

My wife wanted to build a brick house.
Until we looked into energy efficiency.
To meet modern energy efficiency standards, the bricks would need to be something preposterous like 4 feet thick. Or else require a false wall inside just for insulation purposes.

According to Nasa earth is 3 million miles closer to Sun in the dead of winter than mid summer and no I didn't get that backwards.

Are you aware that when one hemisphere of earth is experiencing winter, the other hemisphere is enjoying summer? How can just one hemisphere be closer at a time?
