How Cold Is It?

It's cold enough that at home we're using a kerosene heater to take that extra edge off in effort to minimize the furnace's constant cycling. It's cold enough that the dogs enjoy wearing their jackets. It's cold enough that the dogs choose to snuggle up to the kerosene heater while wearing their jackets!

Tanner (blue collar) and Tucker (red collar) enjoy the additional BTU's.

It's cold enough that at MMS the guys have stuffed couch cushions (used for maintenance purposes) all along the bottom edge of the 60 foot sliding doors in Hangar A and have covered the lower part where the doors join with a sheet of foam rubber to help keep the heat in and the cold out.

However, the arctic air mass is moving on. It was 17 degrees this morning when I went into the shop and it's supposed to be 51 tomorrow afternoon. While the warmer weather will be nice, large temperature fluxuations are challenging and it'll soon be back below freezing.

(Apologies to our friends in northern Canada who REALLY understand what COLD is!)
