Wicked Cold

It’s going to be a might chilly up this way. As I write this the temperature is -9ºF with a wind chill of -33ºF. The temperature will hit -17ºF by morning with the wind chill hitting close to -50ºF.

The summit of Mount Washington has already seen a record breaking wind chill of -106ºF -109ºF. (Update: Overnight the 'old' record which lasted all of a few hours was broken with an even bigger windchill record.)

I got home around 4:30pm after dealing with some town business and parked the trusty RAM 1500. I have no plans to use it again until late tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. I have no plans of stepping outside The Gulch until then, and even then only if it’s absolutely necessary.

At least the trusty RAM 1500 hasn’t balked at starting during these cold temps...so far.

Unfortunately one of my neighbors has been having problems with their furnace, something that has been difficult to handle because they live in another state as their place is their vacation home. The last thing they need is for their furnace to fail during the deep freeze we’re experiencing.

It’s wicked cold up here...
