I just added a 3rd droplight in the shop , and left all the
overhead lights on for the night . It's 19ø and dropping , and I
need to keep the shop warm enough that my beer doesn't freeze .

I'm in Virginia right now, and it's 13 as I post, dropping to a
predicted 5F by morning.

That's still nothing compared to the upper midwest!

-20C up here in Central Ontario - -30C Wind Chill.
-20 is about 2 below zero F.


We hit 22*F in Panama City Fl.
I let all the outdoor faucets drip (5). I have some outdoor
pvc pipe run to an ice machine, I unhooked it at the machine
and let it drip.
I tested the greenhouse thermostat with an icewater bath to make sure
the pump would come on to heat the greenhouse with groundwater. I
heard the pump running 4 times last night so I expect all is good.
OK, this has been fun, now let's get back to regular temps.

If we're lucky it might get above freezing here today ... as soon as the
wife gets uo I'll go out and thaw the camper hose , it was OK at 3° at 3AM ,
at 6:30 and 1° it was frozen . But I know from experience where it froze and
how to thaw , just need to have someone to turn it off inside when it lets
go .

Hmm. Central NJ, 7 deg. F when I got up at 5:00 AM, 8F now, and it's
going up to 20F today! It won't touch freezing until Sunday (33F), and
then it dips again.

Just think how bad it would be without global warming :-)

It probably would be warmer. Take a look at today's jet stream, and
then take a look at the pressure isobars. Resistance to Arctic air
masses is very low in much of North America right now.
