Real feel is -23 here. Super rare weather conditions in this corner of the state!
. He finally went out after when he couldn’t hold it anymore after 4 false starts. It was probably frozen before it hit the ground

Went out and gave Angus the beagle a warm meal at 8. Saw that he had been out to take care of business. Stuck my ungloved hand inside his box, nice and toasty.
-4 with real feel closer to -30 when i went out this morning to check the chickens.
Heated waterer was the but had some ice build up. They hadn't been out of the coop so i took them some food and moved it closer to their coop.
We probably got 2-4" with drifts above my ankle in places.

This is the worst its ever been here in 16yrs. Blowin like a bitch. Went to bed at midnight house was 70 woke up it was 45 and still had coals just now getting warm again. Her car said said -8 her phone said -35 with the wind chill her windshield had a small chip and now has a long crack from water that got in it. I hope this is my last winter in this thing.
Some jackass forgot to close 2 crawlspace vents. Might help a tab...
3 pile ups happening right now up here. 2 on turnpike, they just requested it be shutdown, one is 20+ cars. The other is a 10+ car on rt 2 by huron. Mutual aid be called from long distances and all are having trouble getting thru backroads or access ramps to both. Schools buses, etc. being called to sites to help keep ppl involved warm. Pray for all involved, this is going to suck majorly.
Hoping causalities are low and bless the first responders for being there to help.
Listening the my ham radio all mornin, and Columbus had pile ups after pile ups on all the major interstates. I don't get it. It's like this every year for all the years I lived here. I don't know how people forget how to drive in these conditions, and to be honest, it you don't have to be out, then don't. It truly is your most safest solution if you can do it.
Anyhow, thought I share a little info I heard this mornin.
I prey that all folks get through this wild storm unharmed.

Power has been out here since 10:00 am. We’re doing okay, as we have a whole house generator. But it’s been a pain in my side. The blowing snow was getting sucked into the air intake and clogging the filter every 20 minutes. Finally I located a moving blanket I had laying around and I strapped it to the front of the generac housing, to act as a pre filter. So far so good. It’s been running smooth for the past hour or so now. Hopefully they can get the power turned back on soon. I can’t imagine all the folks without generators right now, especially those living in old drafty houses.
All da aqua is gone...

I laughed very out loud when I first seen this. In fact, I had to do a double take real quick because back during my snow removal days, sometime roughly 10 years ago, I came across this exact type of situation. I offered to pull them out, just like I always did with everybody else, and they gave me a hard decline, so I pressed onward. There were three of them, a young male with two elders, male and female. One horse that looked all upset. The young male looked upset too when the old man said, "NO THANK YOU!"
Anyhow, there you go, another life experience of mine shared, Silly me
