It's getting windy in the southeastern corner of SD. Here it comes.

I'm about 10 miles as the crow flies from the "warm gulf of Mexico". We're at about 50 right now and expect to see 23 tomorrow morning and then 5 nights in the teens to low twenties. The plumbers are about to be very busy. There will be burst pipes all over the area
Three nights at 16 degrees, with a daytime high barely above freezing is going to do a number on the plumbing.

.



Find the tap farthest from where the water comes in the house and keep it just slowly dripping until the temp warms back up.

Be brave .
I have walked around many Russian , Ukey and Baltic cities when it was -20, but without wind chill .

Showing the Ruskies how tough even beautiful English roses can be .

This is the weather that dear Uncle P's boys will love when they rush your baby boys right across and out of Nazi Ukey Land .

It's supposed to get below zero by around lunch here. Eyelashes will freeze and twinkle softly to the ground and then your eyeballs will. But not as softly. There's a little sleet out there right now. Sammy (my little fatty fat dog) rushed out onto the deck for a freezy morning whiz and skidded right off the end of the front deck. Gave me several heart attacks and a stroke. I guess his fat saved him from injury, but he's still in a really crummy mood.

You know... had Remodeling Maidiac posted this here- it would have been yanked and moved by now.

I'm getting tired of having to put on coat and hat and boots when I let my dog out in the backyard, just in case she needs rescuing.

I'd have to do that too if I weren't married to James.

Folks, if/when you lose power please CALL YOUR UTILITY COMPANY and tell them your power is out. They don’t know if you don’t call. Please be patient. Crews may not be able to begin restoration operations until the weather ends. Especially with wind.

PSA from a utility worker

I'll just start a fire in the oven to keep warm.

It works when I'm cookin...

James needs to whip up on you!!

Global Warming er Climate Change er Carbon Emissions er Climate Hysteresis er Global Climate Damage er The Sky is Falling!!!!! er............

All that Carbon is REALLY heating things up......MAN !!!!!!

I tried cooking exclusively with charcoal on the weekends, I put trash in recycling bins, paper and plastic in trash bins, allowing trucks to idle for a long time just to keep the interior a comfortable temperature. I fart as much as possible and consume meat for about 50% of my diet. I turn lights on when they're not needed and everything else I can do to generate as large a carbon footprint as I can shove up the "earth goddess" ass.

I failed to make it warmer. Please forgive me. I shall endeavor to BBQ more often.

It's too late. I'm already spoiled rotten and there's no turnin back, baybee!

What a sweetie!

Normally my little girl just checks to see if her buddies are out and if so, she'll run the fence a few times and do her business and come back in quick. They've got their kids over for the holiday and their little annoying pug is along, and my girl would stand at the fence and bark at that dog for an hour if it meant she froze to death. She HATES that dog!

You failed to mention whether you use too many paper towels. I always heard that was the tipping point, when humans start using too many paper towels.

I always use a lot of them. Then later after they are soaked in grease and cat piss I burn them on the neighbors yard. Never did like that jack ass!!!

Strong north winds, temps already dropping. Here we go...

You better hope your water pipes are wrapped or atleast let a faucet drip to keep those pipes from freezing. Should be the faucet furthest away from where the pipes come in to the house

The exposed pipes are covered and the faucets are dripping.
