Single digits 1°, post’m

If you're using a Battery Tender, get one of these cords and put it on the battery. That way you only need to plug it in. I have these on motorcycles and snowmobiles. Just leave the cord end hang out somewhere it's easy to get to.

 

I am just south of the -47° to the left of Grand Forks. Sometimes I think I am to keep living here.

 

Those ends won't fit around the post on our tractor battery.

 

You take the nut off the battery cable bolt and put the terminal on the bolt

 

Thanks TurboDiesel , there's a quick disconnect on the negative side so I'll see if I can do it on that side or if it's different.

I don't have a problem with the clamps on our terminals so it's not a huge deal. I did buy a CarQuest battery charger today just for the tractor, I had a $15.00 credit for some stuff I returned.

I got one of these for Christmas

 

Iv'e had two of the Battery Tender Plus' for 17 years. Worth their weight in gold!

 

Good to know
I had it on my amazon Christmas list , I was going to buy it if I didn't get one , tired of buying batteries for the lawn tractor

 

NOAA has a regular temp for this area of -22, it looks like Tuesday things start to warmup some.

 

Haha...I just checked my thermometer and thought it was broken because the outside temp was reading 1°

I forgot that I had switched it to °F earlier today. Back to °C and -17....

Psychologically it felt better at 1° than -17°

 

Fahrenheit makes more sense anyway................

 

LOL, reminds me of an encounter I had at a gas station in nowhere western Ontario many moons ago. I stopped for gas in a small town, the car was warm so I had my coat off and was out filling in a T shirt despite the chilly temps. Another gentleman commented that it was dangerous to not be wearing a coat when the temps were below zero. I said oh I don’t think it is anywhere near that cold yet. How cold do you think it is he asked. Feels like upper teens I replied.

About 5 minutes later it dawned on me that he was speaking C and I was speaking f! If he didn’t realize I was a stupid American, he must have thought I was completely loony thinking it was in the upper teens C while it was actually well below freezing. Ooops!

Anyway, I do think there is a definite psychological advantage to having positive Fahrenheit values below freezing. The leading minus sign can be very depressing.

 

Debatable. Water freezing at 0° C and boiling at 100°C makes for a nice scale.

 

That only works for pure water at “standard” sea level pressure. A more sensible scale is Kelvin. Start with 0 at the absolute coldest temp and get rid of the psychologically damaging minus sign altogether. Who doesn’t feel warmer at 253 than at -20? Heck, just saying 253K makes me feel so warm I am sweating.

 

We were at 7 a little while ago. Now it's 13. In NE Ohio, Lake Effect speak, that means snow is coming.

 

I was in Timmins a few years about this time. Is was pretty dang cold. Two or three years ago I was up at the Musclewhite Gold Corp mine and -42°C was the coldest I experienced. It was dead calm though, so it really wasn't that bad.

 

It's a FanJu fj3365 $35 on Amazon

 

Northern Ontario can get pretty cold. White River Ontario recorded -58°C (-73°F) in the 30's.

Ironically enough, I've also been in Timmins during the summer when it was the hottest place in the Country. There was a few day stretch a couple of summers ago that with the humidity the temperatures didn't drop below 100°F even at night

 

It was a warmer morning today, only -11 with some winds.

 

Still single digits for highs & lows F°
(FYI: -40° F & C are the same)

1° last night
4° here now,
Warmer temps coming, usually means snow
