I dont know what the wind chill but we are at -2 right now. Heading back south tomorrow so I have some relief coming.2 degrees, wind chill of -18. Fvck this crap, spring needs to get its ass in gear.
I wondered how you were doing up there. Swimming weather just about done?-28 here right now. Windchill of -46. Might have to get out a heavier jacket.
Once it gets into the single digits, I don't even notice the difference after awhile. Well, except my dog refuses to go out in it. I tried to walk him earlier but he went down to the end of the driveway, turned around and looked at me like "Are you fvcking kidding me?"-28 here right now. Windchill of -46.

Try 4 degree weather, and Missouri doesn't usually get this cold.74 degrees right now. I envy you guys.
I'd love to be in some 30 degree weather right about now.
It's been hanging around -20 to -30. Pretty cold. But fortunately, the wind hasn't been that bad. Gets brutal when the wind climbs up over 20+ mph. Starting to warm up a little. It's only -7 right now. Mini-heatwave.I wondered how you were doing up there. Swimming weather just about done?
Holy crap, you have to leave your trucks running overnight? That’s nuts.It's been hanging around -20 to -30. Pretty cold. But fortunately, the wind hasn't been that bad. Gets brutal when the wind climbs up over 20+ mph. Starting to warm up a little. It's only -7 right now. Mini-heatwave.
Been having problems with our trucks gelling up. We've been just letting them run throughout the night even if not in use. Better to burn a little diesel than go through the hassle of getting them running again once they gel.
Diesel fuel (even the winter blend) will gel up when it gets super cold, and will basically plug your fuel filters. If we shut the diesel motors off over night, it will take hours to get them started again in the morning. Best way to do it is to put tarps over your motor, and use air heaters to warm every thing up, but that takes time. You still have to change all your fuel filters, though. Gelled diesel ruins them.Holy crap, you have to leave your trucks running overnight? That’s nuts.
Man, I can’t even imagine having to deal with that. No wonder there isn’t a ton of people that live there.Diesel fuel (even the winter blend) will gel up when it gets super cold, and will basically plug your fuel filters.

When you are paying 500 dollars an hour for a workover rig, and it takes 2-3 hours to get them running in the morning... Letting them run over night and burning up a hundred bucks or so worth of diesel is an easy decision.
EDIT: Granted, this doesn't happen all the time. Only when it gets really cold like it is now. -25 below is right around where you start having problems.
Yeah, it certainly weeds out all the pussies.Man, I can’t even imagine having to deal with that. No wonder there isn’t a ton of people that live there.
Not a hard decision. Freeze your ass off or play golf in January, February, March, etc.Yeah, it certainly weeds out all the pussies.
They just stay down in Texas where it's warm.
It doesn't exactly stay warm in this part of Texas. It doesn't get as cold there, but it gets below zero fairly often during the winter.Yeah, it certainly weeds out all the pussies.
