Figured I would do a little yard work today....

Moosetrot

That’s what I had at daylight. My buddy s couple miles had -40!!

Sharon, how do you keep horse warm in the extreme cold. When I lived back in PA, we were required to have enclosed stalls for horses.

A customer called wanting his cylinder cup leathers replaced for the water well in his bull pasture he picked a date before they planned on dumping the bulls in there .
It was -48 below in town I wore my normal Carhartt artic coat and bibs and White pac's .
I got out to the well site set up the derrick and brought out a stack of chore gloves about 2' tall each time I broke apart a pipe joint and the water started spraying it would hit my coat frozen and fall off .
I went through all those gloves as they would freeze to the controls for the winch and the pipe wrenches what fun .

I also have fed livestock in sub zero temps then worked yard backing for a livestock auction yard and fed the livestock 5 days of the week .
Great times had by all in those days !

Grandpa, where I’ve been, there wasn’t laws about this, per say, just practical things folks do according to the environment.

Here, people provide anything from full stalls in nice barns, to basic three sided buildings in open pastures, faced to protect from the prevailing wind.

Those with expensive show horses will have them in barns and adjoining stalls. With turn out time in pasture.

I found it to be easier on them in cold northern climates than down south in the humid stifling heat. With no break from flies and parasites. Enclosed stalls were like gold in areas of hurricanes, when many looked for block and concrete rebar stalls to rent for protection .

They can get quite wooly and feel energized in cool weather in the north.

When I was a young guy, I owned a couple horse back East and I remember the heat and humidity and the flies on the horses in the summer. I loved to ride them in the winter in the snow.

I really hate to tell you this but its~~~~~~ + 10 here in my part of Alaska ")

+10 here too, but these high winds are miserable, staying inside as much as possible till after Christmas. 50 mph winds are too much for me once it gets below zero.

+3 here and not gonna get close to a flag pole.

It's currently -9F here and very windy. The next few days will be brutal. Next weekend is supposed to be close to 60F.

Got down to 9 degrees here last night

Guess it would be T-shirt weather to some of you

Outside its 5 and windy, in the bedroom its 22 and living room 48 ...... My fault as I did not get up to put more wood on the stove. With all the slatted windows its tough to keep warm when it is this windy. The upside is that those very windows are great in the summer

11 here in southeast Tx at the moment. hot water PECS didnt freeze but my cold water on the west end of the house is.

Mowing ???

6 here in Alabama, feel like temp is -10

About 10F here but it's blowing about 20mph and expect gusts to 50.

Like a dummy I forgot to get my snow shovel out of the shed last night and the lock is frozen LOL... I'll get after it after work I guess

-20 was my low last night. Wind is 15-25 and has not stopped for a couple days. It shows -10 for a high today. That will be the warmest it has been in 5 days.

We were a you know what hair away from -60 wind chill yesterday morning. I think -59 officially. -40 some dead air temp.

Gonna be a balmy -7 today.

Scuba, should been mulching up those leafs as they were falling. let this be a good lesson. Just messing with ya.

-9 F and -28 wind chill. Thank God for global warming! Yeah, I know global warming caused it.
