+1...You folks are tough! It's pretty cold here, too. Fifteen degrees below.......50. It feels cold; Not acclimated yet. 76% humidity is not helping...I respect you guys up there but, I am glad I do not live there.
I think that's where the term "cabin fever" originated.Does anybody leave the house?
I've got one I'll sell you...what are you waiting for?i want a stove in the house so bad i can taste it
Looks nice and cozy,what type of stove is that?
It is strange but we have seen very little below zero temperatures in the last 3 years. Perhaps we are due for a cold winter this year but so far the weather has been relatively warm.
HA HA, Northern kids trick or treat in this balmy weather, or as a family we all snowmobile to a lake and start a big fire on it, roast caribou sausage and catch lake trout. -40 f or c and colder lots of us northern folk have to be at work for sure on the colder of cold days. Gas fitters, oil burner mechanics and utility people. Hospitals etc, Schools do not close here at any temp.. As for right now I am in Maui at the end of my vacation and heading back to -15 and cant wait. Having a great time but too damn hot here unless your swiming 24/7.Wow. Those temps seem uninhabitable. Does anybody leave the house? I can only imagine those temps are tough on vehicles.

I will get home tomorrow AM and load the BK with Pine to stop the $5.10 a gallon fuel sipping furnace a rest.
I've seen -25. Wind chill was -75 and a blizzard was going on...unusual when it's that cold. So I jumped in the car and drove out of state. I was even dumber then than I am now, if you can believe it. I was driving on the interstate going 25 mph and heard on the radio that the highway had been closed. But to endure that on a regular basis...? You guys are studs!Cold but I have a feeling you'll get much colder readings in a month or two. Coldest I ever experienced was -35, that was so cold it hurt.
We get to -7 and our cars refuse to start. How do you operate your vehicles?
Engine block heaters that heat the coolant, or a heated garage. Maybe synthetic oil? Engine/transmission are warm but the rest of the car is still cold, though, so it's hard on vehicles. I would think that, for one thing, a lot of plastic parts would break...We get to -7 and our cars refuse to start. How do you operate your vehicles?
