Re: EXTREME freezing temperatures - What to worry about? Way ahead of you 
Though no I can't call in sick. I want to save those "sick" moments for when it counts. With a 5 year old son and 6 months old daugther, you never know when THEY are sick and you gotta pretend to be.
However ya... pizza, wine (ya sorry, too cold for beer today) and a whole supplies of movies and tv-shows I haven't had the chance to watch until now.
FFFF YA!
10 inches of snow? Screw that, the wife & kids are gone, I can just hop in my SUV and drive over it, no wife around to complain! |

@videotron.ca | Pizza and wine. Someone is gonna be snoring tonight and no one will be around to complain about it and rolling you off the bed to go sleep on the couch. Double-bonus.
At least sleep in and go in late! Battery problems you know...

That's even better
Offer some kid 10$ to shovel for you.
Do kids still shovel for money these days or can we be arrested for child abuse for that?
Oh, and good luck finding a kid who would want 10$ for shoveling anyhow.
Kids today, ay. |

Trick my Dad shared with me was to open the doors under your sinks in the kitchen and bathrooms. In particular where they are against an outside wall. Gets a few extra º to the pipes.
As far as windchills go, the National Weather Service changed how they calculated Windchill a few years ago.
»www.crh.noaa.gov/ddc/?n=windchill#Old
»www.nws.noaa.gov/om/windchill/im···pare.pdf
With the old chart, -25ºF and 25MPH wind speed produced a -81ºF windchill.
So, jrs8084 was within the ballpark for Northern IL from a good cold snap with the right conditions.
I like the watts sq/m that Juggernaut quotes. I assume that is normal in "hydro" country?

They used watts sq/m for a while, but then went back to 'wind chill' temps. I have to say, it was really confusing trying to get the jist of it.
