It got down to 6 on the recording thermometer.... with a wind chill feel like of -2 so the weather said. I got to thinking and the thermometer hangs just under the porch roof... so it might be even colder out away from the house. It is up to 24, the sun is mostly out with some clouds...

Down to 6 and wind chill was -2... Already up to a BALMY 24... wind is dying down... Some sun out with some high clouds. Supposed to hit 30.

Yeah, we are at ACTUAL 8... wind chills at 0 or a little below... YEP... Worst of late Jan/Feb weather normally... hoping it is blowing its self out to the east... and will quickly leave, and then just as quick blow through @Mini Horses area and go out to sea and freeze some fish out there or...

Good evening from the ARCTIC state called Virginia.... The current temperature is presently 9 DEGREES, with a wind chill of 0 or -1 degrees. This is a slight deviation from the normal temperatures of 28 for a low and 45-48 for a high.... We have also been experiencing some higher than normal...

:welcome:welcome:welcome I'm another Virginian chiming in... from the western part of the state, opposite from where @Mini Horses and @canesisters are. Since you said you are in New Zealand, could you add that to your location of Taranaki... because I will never remember that, when I look at...

Yep... days of teens and such makes 25 feel absolutely balmy.... I cannot imagine negative 20's for days on end... we often had 0 to 15 when I was a kid... and if there is no wind, it is tolerable... 25 feels like summer... I don't mind the cold so much as the wind just goes through you. We...

And if it is 25 or 30 out, and the power goes off, you just stick the stuff outside in a box on the porch....or in a snowdrift or something... And "back when" hot cocoa was made with milk in a pot, not hot water.... PBJ and jelly did not need heating up or refrigerator temps.... If you were...

Have fun, safe travels...

Takes too much space with being thicker than the plastic...and of course the fall out of the upright freezer and hit the floor and shatter.... NOOOOOO..... I will freeze liquids and then pop out of plastic and vacuum pack.... and I reuse the vacuum bags since I will cut them a little...

You don't have to send it to us you know... no hard feelings if it were to just go straight across north of here... I am sure @Mini Horses would agree with me.... :hide :hide :hide :hide :hide :hide :hide Our snow is 90% gone again... so will really freeze the ground for a day or 2...

That's pretty good for cull roosters... Good for you, no muss and fuss and dealing with plucking and all that... and a "social day out" !!!!

Peacocks are beautiful... do NOT want any, anywhere close to me... They do wander, are noisy as all get out... had some at the small berry farm next door to the historic grist mill I used to work at... they were all over the neighborhood and very annoying... Loud and always in the gardens and...
