Recommended Posts

On days with bright sun and relatively fresh snow pack, a lot of PWSs will prob run a couple degrees higher than ASOS. 
 

Within 1 mile of here, there are PWSs that read 19-20F. But some read 25-26F…the latter are absolutely contaminated by solar glare.

Check around the bathroom stack.  We had a leak from cracked tar around that pipe one snowy winter.  Shoveling the snow away from the stack was a temporary fix and when things warmed up a quart can of tar made it permanent.

Reached -21 this morning but the max will be well above yesterday's windy 9.  Maybe another 40° diurnal range today; the 28th was 17/-23.

It’s actually a bathroom located near a basement so it’s naturally much cooler down there and the pipes aren’t used as often. I have a small heater running in the garage but it’s barely made a dent in this cold. Thankfully I did manage to clear a lot of snow that was hanging on one side of the roof and then tomorrow I’m gonna try some hot water with a hose attachment inside to clear the dam, at least partially. This cold is brutal though man, had to keep coming inside to prevent my hands from fully freezing up! It’s no fun at all.
