Minus 25C windchill....

Okay so folks, it's official:

We have minus 25C windchill today.

(Certainly felt cold when we went out earlier today....)

So who else is really, really cold?

Yeah well, we lost our power around 3:30 PM on Sunday and didn't get it back until around noon on Monday.
Thank goodness we heat primarily with wood, so it was a nice toasty 72 inside the house and since yesterday was a snow day, my son was able to stay home and keep the fire going. I wonder how many of my neighbors had frozen pipes. When I called my son yesterday at 9 am, the thermometer read zero F. outside...

We have a generator for when the power goes out, but with our recent kitchen remodel, our fridge's aren't "generator" friendly and neither are the windows for pulling through the extension cord So, we just emptied the freezer and the fridge and put all the food in boxes and set it in the garage for safe keeping.

I think what I'm going to do is install an extra circuit box and tie the generator directly into that so next time the power goes out, I can move three circuits from the main box to the "generator" box. 2 circuits for the kitchen and one for our well so w have running water. Oh yeah, and my son can run an extension cord from the Kitchen to the TV lol!

That should about take care of it

Do you mean Kelvin? If so, no, that can't be. You can't even get 0 Kelvin (I think it's due to the 3rd law of thermodynamics). I think the coldest anywhere in the universe is just under 3 degrees Kelvin.
