NicholasShetley Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I don't even want to think how cold that is Chad. It was two below this week here. Florida doesn't sound too bad now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 When the wind stops and its that cold I call it dead cold. Everything freezes. You can't warm up, it gets in your bones. Then when the wind kicks in its just pure hell. Yesterday I was at a crash in the morning. It was -8. I was on scene for about an hour. I cleared the call and was going over Parker Mountain and it dropped to -13. No wind. I got out of the car and immediately started shaking. It felt much colder than the -8! The coldest I've seen is -26 without wind chill. Those poor guys in the lakes, NY, Il, Mi, WI.....screw that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 This is the coldest I have seen it. Last year the lowest temperature was zero degrees. The wind chill was in the -30s though so that was brutal. It is supposed to be in the upper 30s next week though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 It warmed up today and was consistently in the 15-20 mark so it wasn't too bad. Funny how quick you acclimate to the temp. I took my pal Rufus out for a quick walk a couple of hours ago and ended up carrying him home. That fine powder snow gets in their paws and freezes and he can't walk. My neighbor got a kick out of that sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 wow guys i couldn't even imagine it being that cold out here I was bitching last week and the lowest it got was like high 20's in the night time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmikez Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 light weight! haha heck yea bro in my night job I work in the freezers but I only have to be in there for a couple hours off and on throughout the night the lowest they get is about -6-15 but when deliveries come the doors stay open for awhile and it temp rises pretty quick and plus they supply us with some carhartt jackets and gloves and beanies that work well but still nothing compared to living in the areas U guys are at.

ChrisK Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Well they are still sold out of the LED lamps at Lowes so last night I bought four more fatigue matS, moved my MFT table opposite my Kapex, framed a small wall for my lumber rack and moved my two lamp fluorescent light over to the "new" shop! I will wire that in today and maybe get a couple of sheets of OSB for the half wall which by the way is NOT 16" OC! Slowly coming to life over here! I'll post some more pics soon.
