bigfootnampa Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Right now 12:30 AM it is -20 degrees here in Missouri!!! This as cold as we ever had when I grew up in Idaho! That's NOT wind chill!!! Straight Fahrenheit temperature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Mid 30's here, too warm. The roads are a muddy mess and snow keeps sliding off the roof making the dogs go nuts alerting us to the monsters outside. Yeah I know, about the same as Peters Creek. What can I say? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the iron dwarf Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 7 degrees c here today as the high, expecting cold weather soon, a little bit of wind and rain recently and more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Mullins Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Single digit temps here yesterday, I stayed in except to tend to the dogs. Going to be in the 50's and raining this weekend so it should be a good time to hold up in the shop burn some coal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direwolf Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Up here in northern Wisconsin it was -30f this morning at noon it is -12F, yesterday -34F with a high of -21F. It has been mostly below zero since November 20th here and all of us that heat with wood have burned about twice as much wood as normal. I don't even waste my time in the shop when the high temp is below zero, though I was welding some broken equipment for my neighbor farmer yesterday miserable conditions for welding. I've lived in this climate my whole life, Maine, then 25 years in Alaska now here, I just put on my coveralls and put my head down and work. I used to work some on commercial boats in Maine and Alaska, to me that is the coldest on the deck of a boat in the wind and spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Up here in northern Wisconsin it was -30f this morning at noon it is -12F, yesterday -34F with a high of -21F. Yup, my parents live on the north end of the Flambeau Flowage just a stones throw from you. My dad won't venture to his shop either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danguite Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Here in central Wisconsin I've been working in the shop every day! Of course it is heated... But that 20 feet between the house and shop are pretty chilly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direwolf Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi Frog, you're folks are practically my neighbors. I own a farm on CTY F not far from the flowage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I thought about working tomorrow outside at the forge, wind chill of -15. When I say I thought, I mean as quick a thought as ever can come through your mind came through, and left for warmer climates! Too cold!!!! But, I hear its a record breaking kind of warm in the land of Australia! Yes, indeed, sir. The heat makes forging as uncomfortable for us as the cold makes it for you. Much sweat on the anvil. Touching 50 degrees C in places. That's about 120 in your money. They are frying eggs on the road in Birdsville, Qld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notownkid Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ausfire I'll send you some cold if you'll send back some Heat! Light snow and 27 degrees F at the moment in Central Vermont. Headed down to the single digits for the week. I read were you guys were getting record heat. Enjoy it as best you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the iron dwarf Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 we can send you plenty of rain for central and northern australia if you want we have a surplus here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 we can send you plenty of rain for central and northern australia if you want we have a surplus here tid, Send all you can. Heat, drought and bushfires here. (Makes it easy to collect charcoal for my forge, but that's the only plus!) Pity we can't even things out a bit ... we'll trade some heat for your rain. My demos have been reduced to mornings only. By midday you risk all sorts of heat stress and no-one ventures out to look anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYBOY Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It was about -30° with the windchill here the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausfire Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 We had 38deg C here yesterday just a bit too hot! And last night enough rail to dirty the car! ian Ian, I notice Kyalami is the same latitude (about 26 south) as Birdsville - the hottest town in Queensland. Uncomfortable as the heat is, I think I would prefer it to the big freeze being experienced by our northern hemisphere friends. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
