Temperatures Too Cold to Report???

We’re in Nuevo Vallarta.

Not that cold here yet. Hovering just above minus 30.

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?

Don't go down the rabbit hole.

You are hogging the sun. The sun is directly over your head at mid day which is about 830pm Sask time. The good news is the sun is back on its northern journey.

This is for you.

I like the people that staunchly say “windchill only affects people and animals, not inanimate things like vehicles and buildings.”

Tell that to the north side of my house which is always much colder when the wind gets to it.

I can’t imagine trying to get by with less insulation. I’m also in a tiny old house, with poorly sealing doors. Always have coats hung along the edges to keep drafts out. Great big chunks of frost on the handle each time we go out these days.

I mostly just stay out of this. Much more fun ridiculing Chuck's conspiracy theories and self importance, than these ones. But debunking this claim was just too hard to pass up.

Just keeping the water flowing, bedding fresh, and bovine bellies full is consuming all daylight and then some. Hydraulic hoses, pto’s, and getting belts turning just makes it more fun. -40 again here and next weekend they show a +2 ………..

Critters seem to be handling it fine so far thankfully besides this bull that will be caught shortly to give some hot water therapy to his tail. Anything that can go wrong will do so at the least convenient time possible

Once they can't lift their tail it's your problem

Swapped aeration fans around. With the canvas bin sock, which is supposed to be easier than unbolting a fan. At -40, the flimsy canvas held its pipe shape once the air was shut off. Removing it from the flange on the bin was like prying a 10 ply bias truck tire off a one piece rim( been there done that on a manure spreader).
