01-22-2025 -- Brrr PART turd

Last night was the bottom of this round of cold. The “Cold Warning Alert” is to end at 10 am today, when they porncast the temperature to hit a stunning 0 (ZERO) degrees freedom units. And that is up!!!

I was awake most of the night, as I usually am. But this time I was constantly asking Alexa what the temperature was. Or, checking my various monitoring devices inside and outside.

It “only” dropped to a positive 19 in the garage, and a positive 9, inside the outbuilding. Inside I kept it a toasty 58-70 most of the night. 58 for me to try and sleep upstairs, and 70 downstairs hoping to keep pipes in walls, some exterior, warm enough not to freeze.

I was doing the drip-drip at the kitchen sink to do its part to keep water flowing inside.

Anyway, here are the lowest readings I go on the thermometers outside.

Just short of NEGATIVE 7 on these. But, notice the red color used. These units are listed with a range of -4 to like 120 freedom degrees. When they got to -4.1, they turned red, to presumably state the accuracy was no longer great.

This is at 3:30 am when the first one went below -4.0 Notice it is red, but the other hasn’t turned yet.

So I shifted to checking my Blink Security Cameras. Those attached to the house stayed around the minus 4 to minus 7 range. But the one attached to the outbuilding, that points east towards the house, well, take a look.

At 4:39 it hit minus 12 freedom degrees. From there it fluctuated between minus 11 and minus 12 until I got up around 7 am.

That’s COOOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDD !!!!!!!! It is now 8:35 and it is all the way “up” to minus 8. Likely because the rising sun is hitting shining on it.

That pink salt is amazing. Still trying to cut through the snow at those temperatures. Sure doesn’t look that cold out there. Oh, the thermometer hangs in the tree you see in the yard.

Look at that. Already up to a blistering MINUS 3.5. Heat wave is coming.

Enjoy Life
