Eighteen below zero

Help Support Ranchers.net:

-10 here this morning. Brother in law about didn't make it the NFR last night. I-15 was shut down for a good part of the day yesterday.
 
Feeling chilly? Here's cold comfort: You could be in East Antarctica, which according to new data set a record for soul-crushing cold.

Try 135.8 degrees Fahrenheit below zero; that's 93.2 degrees below zero Celsius, which sounds only slightly toastier. Better yet, don't try it. That's so cold scientists say it hurts to breathe.

A new look at NASA satellite data revealed that Earth set a new record for coldest temperature recorded. It happened in August 2010 when it hit -135.8 degrees. Then on July 31 of this year, it came close again: -135.3 degrees.
 
Sitting at my Dad's house here in Red Oak, IA (about 45 minutes SW of Omaha) and the therometer on the car bottomed out at 14 below coming back from a friend's house earlier this evening :shock: 10pm news showed 18 below in Maryville, MO in the NW corner of Missouri.
 
Never should have checked the weather this morning.

Minus 38, with a minus 50 C. windchill. Better off not to know that. The poor old Deutz wouldn't even turn over. I think the oil turned into molasses. And the craziest thing is that by morning it will be minus 12. :roll: :roll: With blowing snow of course, just to keep it interesting.

Only six months to go.............
 
Minus 4 with a minus 12 windchill this morning. About 6 inches of snow and sleet on the ground. Supposed to warm up some later in the week.
 
Just a little below freezing this morning. At 10:10 am the sun is just about to peak over the horizon.
Yesterday was beautiful, sunny and about 2 degrees of frost, no wind. Made it nice to work in shirt sleeves :D
 
Yesterday morning it was 31 Below with a chill factor near 60 Below... Apparently had a power surge that burned out light bulb in pump house and flipped breaker on water tank heater and feed truck heater... Long morning of 4 letter words being emitted....

Then during afternoon warmed up to around 10 degrees and we got freezing rain/snain for several hours...
Today the wind finally went away- and the temp has slowly warmed to 31 Above at 4 PM today...
A 62 degree change in temperature which has sure brightened the Christmas attitudes....
