I'm going to start calling this "continuous low tire pressure light" weather.

I almost lost some fingers trying to add some air to my tires yesterday. It was the warmest forecast afternoon in the stretch until midweek and I didn't want to wait that long. Unfortunately that "warm" temp was still 4 by the time I got to the gas station.

How are the chickens handling this cold?

I put the greenhouse film around the run. They're doing okay in the coop at night. The coldest I've seen it in there in the morning is around 0F. With 17 birds in there they generate quite a bit of heat even with the top eaves open.

I let them out Thursday and they seemed fairly miserable under the coop huddled up together. Friday I experimented keeping them in the coop all day since it was kinda raw with the -SN falling and temps near 0F. Yesterday I left them out of the coop around midday and they seemed fine with the temp pushing 10F with some filtered sun and little wind. It's up to 3F now, but with the wind I really don't want to let them out. Occasionally a gust will mix in and over the film and they get perturbed. They've done well overall though. The cold doesn't bother me as much as cold+moisture and wind. The 2 ceramic heat emitters I have in there radiate just enough heat to keep the RH low enough to prevent frostbite. I would've been concerned without them last night considering how cold and raw it was.

Impressive for sure, you might not be too far off with your hyperbole this time.

I don't see ORH having 3 single digit highs in the month of December ever.

With the exception of 15 minutes following the passing of the arctic reenforcement last night at 11:45 (I spiked to 10.7), I've been in single digits since 4:30p.m. on the 27th.  41 of the those hours have been below 5*.  I'll probalby add 24-36 hours to that 41.

2.6*

GYX hit 9.8 yesterday to blow the streak...

Temp seems to be stuck at 1.5F to 1.8F.   Noticing mid level clouds spreading across SNE.  Will this keep temps down abit this PM.  Maybe a lower launching pad to make New Years that much more miserable?  Still looks like the Mother load will be after the mid week system.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this cold.  I was out with the doggie for a solid 90 minutes earlier and the deep arctic blue overhead as cirrus was streaming in was a breathtaking site over snow cover of about 4 inches with blowing snow from the little bit we got yesterday.  Long live winter!  New attitude this year-cold and colder are best.
