Also I’ve had lots of gin. If that makes no sense blame Mr Hendricks. Well played lad. Hendricks is the only gin I can drink, on the rare occasion I actually drink gin ha. I’ve got the Manhattans flowing over here tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahantango#1 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 7 hours ago, Voyager said: If it's down near zero, all it takes is an hour for the valve to freeze up. Then we need to heat it with a torch just to open it. Even the outlet pipe cap will be frozen on. At 20 degrees or less, we need to either hit it with a mallet or dead blow hammer, or hit it with the torch as well. If the vent freezes up, and we don't know it, bye bye trailer as it will implode when unloading. Plain and simple, in the summer, water hauling is a great gig. In the winter it kind of sucks... Where I used to work( I since retired early I took an early retirement from being a supervisor) We had tankers coming in from the mid-west states, Ohio, and Canada. We used to use Hot water on the outlet valve and if that didn't work to open a frozen outlet we used air. Hooked up an air hose with a special fitting an applied over 100psi to open it up. when that let go and shot up towards the front of the tanker it sounded like a gun going off. We also got tankers from the southern states too but the chance they were froze was not great as the ones from Nebraska, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, New Jersey and Canada .These tankers were loaded with liquid egg and had to be loaded at 33-36 degrees for shipping. In the summer that was a different story as we had spoiled egg come in to the plant. Especially from a plant in Arkansas.. Somehow the tankers were usually loaded and till we got them it was 5-6 days later, I don't know if trucking was the issue or the drivers just didn't care when they got there So you can imagine when you have 48,000-50000 lbs of spoiled egg thats a big loss and depending on the fluctuating market value sometimes even a bigger financial loss. .But I can definably relate to the frozen valve situation. I'm sure you seen tankers from where I used to work on the road. Papetti's and Michael Foods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago they were dependable probably one of the best in the nation, originating from Florida. But before I retired the procurement and dispatchers were reluctant on getting them as a carrier as they fell from elite status. always late not in hours, but days!

Bubbler86 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 @Blizzard of 93, the Euro is still teasing us with Jan 15/16. Very sharp trough down into Florida, a front ready made for a monster from the South. Snow maps suck this Am but potential does not. It is tilted the "wrong way" unfortunately.

pawatch Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 When I got up it was 6 degrees. Then about hour later it dropped to 5 degrees. Should go out and see if my truck will start. Always has started but a little slow turning over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 This morning my temperature dropped to the coldest reading in nearly 2 years at 10.2 degrees. Even up to 4:30 it was still 19 degrees. Then the winds must have gone calm because the temp started dropping pretty rapidly and didn't bottom out until almost 8:00. During all of last winter my coldest reading was 12.6 F. I'm pretty sure most of us will see single digits upcoming this week. The snow cover definitely plays a big role in helping temps to drop. Just before 10:45 I'm back up to 23.2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
