Title: BRRRRR.... Post by: matt_aggie04 on December 27, 2010, 07:27:51 am This is what I saw when I walked outside this morning :(. I knew it was cold because my pressure regulator was froze on my well and I had no water when I got up >:D

Title: Re: BRRRRR.... Post by: matt_aggie04 on December 27, 2010, 09:26:06 am They were saying it was going to get down to 28 but at 7:30 last night it was already 30 so I got a little worried. Took a shower about 10:30 and I could tell the pressure was not right. Went outside about 11 covered it up as best I could and gave the horse another flake of hay and looked it was already 26 then and then 20-21 when I went out this morning. Horse water had about an inch of solid thick ice in it and had to break it with a shovel handle. I like cold but mornings like this make me happy I don't live too far north. I live in a little bottom here and I think it gets nearly 4-6 degrees colder here then just a few miles down the road in any direction.

Ill take cooler temps and woolier horses any day!

Title: Re: BRRRRR.... Post by: slimpickins on December 28, 2010, 07:37:37 pm Ha ha. We start wrapping pipes opening weekend of dove season. That way when the wells freeze at night they'll thaw the next day so we can figure out what needs wrapping or a heatlamp before the really cold stuff hits. Last year we snowed in froze solid for 4 days, but the well house and water was good. ;D
may have spent $30/day in electricity for lamps and heaters but we had water. Title: Re: BRRRRR.... Post by: MOhogger on December 28, 2010, 11:48:50 pm Heck thats been the normal temp here in missouri for the last two months plus we've had a couple ice storms followed by 2-3" of snow.When I was flying home from houston the plane flew over, turned around and took us back to houston cause they couldnt land.Beleive me it was a big difference after workin in the 70-80 degree weather in houston and gettin here to temps in the teens.Hope it warms up a little bit before I come down there to hunt in mid-Jan. My dogs might think I lyed to em and wont hunt...LOL
