Add another 4" to my picture. County just shut down all roads. If its not an emergency, you could get arrested for being on the roads

Just came back inside, MAN what a nice day. 54 and a few bees out and flying around, they better enjoy it cause it will not last too much longer.

Yep, I saw some of my girls out and about, too.

Going from 49F this afternoon to 16F in the morning. High of 18F tomorrow. Brrr!

Got some winterizing done. Got the vents closed for the crawl space, a light in the root cellar, and the dog house winterized with straw, and more rags inside.

A couple of years ago, when it got below zero, I went down to the dollar store and bought a cheap heating pad and put where the dog lays on an old porch swing (his couch). He wouldn't go near it (stupid dog). So now I just try to make him comfortable as I can. Dogs are like bees, they're going to do what they're going to do, not what I want them to do.

I BEG your pardon?!!?!!? That would be a mess that several folks, including me would SERIOUSLY regret if someone tried to arrest me for going to check on my businesses or properties during a storm..

Because of a national emergency like a contagious Virus or Military emergency with fighting going on fine, but because of the weather? AGAIN, I am glad I live in this little Podunk town!!!!

In Illinois, it is the same law, but they are very relaxed about the enforcement. I have stayed out on closed interstates all night bringing in stranded motorists. I was always able to get them to let me through the roadblocks to go back looking for more.

Think it's pretty much a way to try to get most of the people to stay off the roads. Not sure they will enforce it too drastically. We've got almost a dozen counties out here declaring a snow emergency. County north of me gave up and sent all the snow plow trucks back to the shop. We're probably close to the 12" mark but hard to tell with all the drifting going on. I've area's with 2" and some with 24". Looks like my hives got a good insulation coat. Just hope that lil Nuc makes it.

Was 30 most of the day and been in the mid 20's for the last 3 hours. Waiting for the hatchet to fall

Still 54 here but the wind is really starting to pick up.

State police just posted that the two major highways are being shut down. I-65 and 80-94 in NW Indiana. Winds are very nasty out here now and getting colder.

hey guys it's 25 below zero here now i think, and that's not windchill factor......wind is pretty brutal, here tell the southern states are going to get some of the brunt of this as well, not the sub zero temps, but unusual low temps for southern states?

efmesch · « **Reply #132 on:** January 06, 2014, 01:55:13 am »

Just reading about your situations puts a shiver down my spine. BRRRRRR!
And then I look outside here and the beautiful sunny day warms me up.

Finally Home · « **Reply #133 on:** January 06, 2014, 06:52:22 am »

Good Morning and be safe to all in this brutal cold.
Haven't quite caught Riverbee but we're sitting at -15 not counting wind chill. My wood furnace which will normally give us a good 16 hour burn is running out after 7 hours now. Guess I'll be making a few extra trips out there over the next couple days.

Perry · « **Reply #134 on:** January 06, 2014, 07:14:39 am »

Just stay safe and warm folks. The news up here is warning the Eastern States and Canada about a "polar vortex" bringing temps not seen in decades. Montana and Manitoba have seen windchill temps of -50 C (-58 F).

G3farms · « **Reply #135 on:** January 06, 2014, 08:21:12 am »

Last night it got to 55* F then the wind picked up and heavy rains, This morning 18* F and a light snow on the ground. This is supposed to be the high for today and going to 0* tonight.

What is normal for you this time of year?

G3farms · « **Reply #137 on:** January 06, 2014, 08:32:10 am »

Not a 55* swing that is for sure!!

Not sure what normal is any more, last couple of winters have been really mild.
I would say a few days in the 20's, most of the time dipping to below freezing and highs in the 40's.

Finally Home · « **Reply #138 on:** January 06, 2014, 08:39:37 am »

I know what you mean as far as the last few winters. Nothing normal about them. Just going with the flow

That's about right.
