Its cold

[Roccus7]

I was a bit hasty. It's only a bit chilly here compared to Mt. Washington, NH with it's sub -100°F wind chills...

Lonnie on CBS last night showed us the Mt Washington wind chills. Amazing. I got up late and it was 10° when I went out to gather up the Snoozeday.

Not sure if I should be happy or disappointed. Looked out of a window before and noticed that the air intake for my boiler was full of stuff that looked like ice. Crap!!! OK, how was to deal with this, something that's a good 10' above the ground on with raw temps at -5°F and the wind howling?? Spent a good 10 minutes trying to figure out the best way to approach the problem. I didn't want to get out there and have to come back in because I didn't think this through

Thought about it and found a way to mount a hair dryer on a floodlight lightbulb changer pole. So I rigged that up and girded myself for the freeze with heavy socks, thermal underwear, large mittens w/a liner, vest, double layer coat, balaclava and heavy hat.

Grabbed the "dryer pole" and an extension cord and went out into the "brisk", fresh air. OK,, it was cold, but my wardrobe was perfect, nothing felt cold. Got to the intake and looked. Hmmm, better check to see how deep that ice is before I start working. I might need the Admiral's super hair dryer and not this small travel one...

Reversed the pole to tap the ice clog on the vent with the bottom of the pole. Turns out that it wasn't ice, but a build up of some very fluffy frost. Three taps with the pole and it was all cleared, so I headed back in.

Half of me was happy that it was no big deal, but the other half was disappointed because I went to such great lengths to make sure I would be successful for dealing with an iceberg blocking the air flow.

Guess there's no making me happy today, LOL!!

I know this was happening in Northern Maine, but I swear we had 2 frost quakes at the house, with a large boom and the house shaking from the ground.

In northern Maine, it was so cold there were reports of “frost quakes” or cryoseisms, which can sound like an earthquake. Frost quakes happen when the temperature falls so quickly that the moisture in the ground freezes and expands, creating a loud explosion noise, said Stephen Baron, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray.
