At the homestead another cloudy day with temp around 28f, and a claim to get a heatwave to 32f.
This is as warm as it's expected here for near the next week.

Chilly morning

 

[Mastermind]

80° in the kitchen, 75 in the living room, 70 in the foyer. Not too bad.

 

[Ketchup]

Brisk here as well.

-3F at sun-up. Heading to the farm show in a bit where it will be balmy. Then back to hope the boiler took off as she sucked down too much wood last night and was getting frigid. I fed her but I am not confident it will take off

 

[Duce]

-7 this morning, but warming up nice. Guess I should dust the face off.

 

[Stump Shot]

I'll raise the bar to -27°F this fine AM.

I have worked in -30 F before but I did not spend all day in it. It is a real kick in the shorts cutting holes in the ice with a axe to get water for the cows. At least I could in the truck every once in a while to get out of the wind.......the cows could not.

-19f this morning and a bit windy. Supposed to get down to -25f tonight. Dang good times to be burning wood instead of watching the propane gauges or watching the utility meter spin. We’d be going though 20-25 gal a day if I was burning propane between the house, shop and well house. Chicken barn will use roughly 375 gal a day to keep the chicks warm in weather like this.

I even tossed a few pails of coal in the boiler this morning. I turn up the floor thermostats in the house and shop 3-4f so they run all day when I’m awake to feed the stove and back down again when I go to bed so they can cool off for a while overnight before slamming the boiler with heat calls. It’ll run for 15 min and sit for 30ish when it’s this cold.

What size tank(s) do you have for the chicken building? How much are you paying?

 

[old guy]

-23 here out of Becker at 5:30 AM!

 

[jblnut]

What size tank(s) do you have for the chicken building? How much are you paying?

4x1,000gal and around $1.35/gal for farm gas. They try to keep them between 40-60% when it's this cold so they can gas off properly. A few years ago they had to come pump fuel out when a grower lost power and couldn't run the generator and the heaters at the same time because it was -30f and the tanks were too full for it to gas off fast enough.

 

[jacktheripper]

Didn't feel too bad though.

Weather app is right on to actual measured


Measured just outside the door.
Could be getting some house effect warming.

 

[old guy]

Aye!, -27 here this morn also. 60 years ago I would spend all day on snowshoes trapping beaver in this kind of weather. (northern Wisconsin)

I'll be driving right by your place this afternoon, and maybe pull in for a gas fill up.
