I'm not a person, but a succession of extraordinary events Turn the hot water heater off too, open the faucet to drain the line much as possible, leave the spigots closes to the main line on for expansion.

You are taught to hate the wolf because he threatens the shepherd, but ask yourself: Who eats more sheep? The wolf is dangerous, yes, but he is free, his moral choices are his own. And that is why the shepherd fears the wolf.

Actually warmer than usual for winter here. Though I understand and will speak for advice on animals, all animals will be fine in your weather, only newborns I would worry about and pets. Might be colder than one is use to there, but it will more of uncomfortable than dangerous, limited...

Different sorts of beans, rice, potatoes, flour to make gravy or the sorts, egg noodles, yeast, and a ton of seasonings. Grab some cast iron and a whole cow to stick in the freezer, hell grab a rifle and go shoot some animals then your once a month trip to grocery store can be every few months...

Have a "good" neighbor on the next road over that lives in NY, he only comes out 4 times a year a most. He actually made a flight out here yesterday just to experience this weather. While he is gone I babysit his house amongst other places I have keys to. I can actually drive around out here...

Fifteen below zero right now with -40°F windchill

Thirteen degrees today with highs of 15°F, wind chill supposed to be around -35°F so it's going to be a little bit nippy.

We get -40°F/C time to time so might want to put that on your list of possibilities.

It's funny to read the local FB groups out here on when they ask if anyone else loses power or who has power on already. I like to reply back; I still got lights on, oh that's right I'm on solar, I never lost power :gig Going on 7 years living off grid, started off with two 6V batteries and a...

Winds over 40 mph today as I go to turn wrenches. Went to turned wrenches yesterday and they said I got there late, I said you are lucky I even showed up.

I can say I have lived in every climate that is on the blue marble. With that said, limited exposure in the extreme temperatures to any climate is the key. There is very few happy medium places in this country and they are crowded, so suck it up buttercups cause I suggest picking a disaster you...

I say put them right up against in places like Martha Stewart's Garden or Malibu, CA. Hell, stack a few right next to the Statue of Liberty.. America right? :lol:

Solar panels will outlast a wind turbine up to twice its life span. There is no winners in this energy game, kilowatts are kilowatts, just an exchange of materials as all forms produce a byproduct that needs to be disposed of. I would say of all of them, the cleanest one in my opinion is hydro.

Worked two weeks and it was enough to be disgusting.

Oh I do know that, not to mention life span of a wind turbine versus hydro power. Little secret, there is generators in each of the wind turbines to balance the power coming in, deice the blades, keep hydraulic systems flowing and keep the electronics happy. Funny how no one is protesting...

We already have a wind farm here that is selling power to Washington state, locals get none of it. They plan on extending that wind farm as there isn't enough for Washington state. They put in new transmission lines to Colstrip MT, but after that it was existing infrastructure to do as such...

Nope nothing here to see, just cloudy with mild winds in the weather, nice day. "Oh BTW" I wouldn't drive anywhere or do anything today...

That's odd, we get about 13 inches of rain a year, there is 640 acres in a square mile, they are proposing a AI data center in Broadview, MT which is 175 miles away from here. The said center will cover 5k acres and I'm sure around quarter of a million gallons of water to several million gallons...

That is what all I posted is about. I'm amazed they even got BLM land to be able to graze on. Over here I can't lease the BLM property attached to mine and there is two parcels attached to me plus many more that I will never be allowed. They granted rights to whoever was around back in the day...

We are having "Oh BTW" weather as I would call it. Forecast says one thing such as partly cloudy highs of this temperature, then on the same day it goes to "Oh BTW" we forgot to mention winds over 40 mph with snow showers too, hope you planned your day for that. It is flipping so fast, that it...
