Just tormenting all of us with your nice, warm weather! Bad BB buddy!
SOUTHERN CA......... but we got rain coming this weekend.. LOL
And NO... DON'T move here unless you want to pay 1100.00 for truck tags every year and live in a sanctuary state.. 
Yeh...I think we will stick with the north central TX weather.
It's not that bad even if the Arctic Blast comes this far south. The nice weather in southern CA isn't worth the rest of it. LOL
The peeps in the Central Plains and upper Mid-west have it rough though. Be safe. |

Plus the people are goofy as hell. Maybe not flit, but as a general rule. |

Location: North Dakota | LIVE2RUN - 2019-01-29 4:21 PM Wow, I can't even imagine those kinds of temps. What do you guys do, stay inside the whole time? Do you go to work/school, etc?? Never experienced that kind of cold. We are in the 70's this week, chance of rain over the weekend. I'm in AZ. We have been in the -10s & -20 the last few weeks off and on. We haven't been anywhere close to above freezing in weeks.. maybe months.. I honestly can't remember. Haha.
They did close schools today and tomorrow as our actual temps are expected to be below -40 and windchills are in the -60s right now. Most people still had to work today though.
When we are in the -teens to 20s and windchills in the -30s we still go to class and I walk my butt around my univeristy campus... it isn't exactly fun but they can't cancel at that temp because those temps are common in winter for us. This -40 actual temps and windchills in the -60s and someplaces -70 is an entirely different ball game. The city I live in declared a city wide emergency and more business are shutting down now and are expected to be closed tomorrow. When we get a blizzard and 2 feet of snow dumps on us, that doesn't stop us up here in the north here but -60 wind chill apparently does.
I have been in the house most of the day. Not much to do when it is this cold. The worst part is when your car doesn't start in these temps and you wanna go somewhere or you have to. Most of us have plug ins on our cars to warm them but not everyone does...

AZ sounds really nice right about now. Actually, all the local schools here near STL are closed for tomorrow. That neverrrrr happens for just cold weather. But yeah. I pretty well avoid going outside. Feed the horses, check on them and break water at least once during the day, feed once more, and other than that....I stay inside.
I will say it's been so cold this winter that when it gets up to mid 30s and sunny I'm like this us GLORIOUS! Lol!

I know. We lived in Indy for a long time. And they are going to get to 20 below! That's crazy.
I don't remember it getting that cold in the 25 years that we lived there. They said it is the coldest temps (air and wind chill) we have seen in 25 years. It seems to be really, really bad. I am not going to complain about 25 tonight.

Location: North Central Iowa Land of white frozen grass | We got to -32F last night with 24 mph winds. I took the loader and pushed up a wall of snow higher than the horses to give the horses a windbreak and put straw bales in for them. Well they are still alive this morning and eating out of their round bale of hay. We are supposed to get colder tonight. Right now they have the most beautiful white long eyelashes on them. They seem to be very content. One thing that you learn up here is you leave your horses outside so that they get haired up for this kind of weather. You need to keep all the feed in front of them they can eat. Its the hay that keeps them warm. I will see if I can get pictures. |

our school districts are open and we are about an hour south of STL. In our particular case some of our students are better off coming to school than staying home, at least they will have an adequate source and heat and warm food!
We put our horses up in the barn last night and we left them up this morning. We never leave them up in the barn for more than overnight but with the windchill today we figured they will appreciate it.
I truly truly DISLIKE winter with a passion LOL |

Location: Illinois | Horses survived just fine and I still went to work during the "polar vortex." They got lots of hay & plenty of water. Mine are always on MVP Gastro-plex anyway so that helps in times like this. More concerned about going from -40 wind chills to 55 degrees days later. I did wake up to a lovely surprise yesterday morning, which was the coldest day. The drywall in my house had condensation from the moisture in the air in my house and the dry frigid outside air and was wet in a lot of places and one bedroom had 1/2" of frost on the inside. All my windows were iced over in the inside. |

Oh geez... that is really insult to injury. With all the frightening cold air and then you have to deal with the house in those cold temps!
Wow!!!
At least the 'ponies' are doing good throughout all this cold weather. They usually do, we worry about them way more than they do themselves. LOL
Hope you got the house taken care of.

Mine did great too.....they didn't eat near as much hay as I anticipated (I threw out a LOT). They drank plenty of water. They're much more hardly than me, that's for sure!
Sorry to hear about your house....I hope you don't have any long term issues from all this! |

95% of the time I don't mind winter... I love it actually and do a lot of snowmobiling.. This blast was way below normal. My vehicle wouldn't start this morning... A Water pipe froze in my house and a few friends diesels gelled up... But it's over with now. It has finally warmed up to - 8 below and no wind. I took my horses blankets off (they normally don't wear any but with the wind chill at - 45 below they got one). It's supposed to be almost 40 above this weekend...... It's funny you talk about staying in Texas! Because I say the same thing about here. I'll stay up here! You can keep the 95 to 100 and humid in the summer haha! :) |
