Deep Freeze

I spent nine hours outside working last Saturday preparing for the arctic blast that was predicted. 
Church was cancelled Sunday because of the cold and blowing, drifting snow.  We listened to a sermon by Bro. Ben Maibach visiting Morton church in 1967.  I always liked his commanding voice.  Then I caught the tail end of Bro. Tom Klotzle visiting Phoenix

I dressed so warm the next few days, that I had to be careful not to work up a sweat doing chores.  The cold didn't do any serious damage or cause any major problems, so we were thankful.  The hydraulic oil in the feed truck was so cold that I killed the truck putting the PTO pump in gear.  The chain that swivels the auger snapped, but I was able to fix it in the warm shop.

All 50 states saw freezing temperatures at some point on Tuesday.  It was even 18 degrees on top of an inactive volcano in Hawaii.  At -15 degrees here, it was colder than much of Alaska and Antarctica on Tuesday.

And I thought it rather ironic the global warming scientists' ship that was trapped in the expanding polar ice on their way to measure the shrinking polar ice.  Two ice breaking ships were not able to rescue them.  After about two weeks, they were rescued by helicopter.  Of course, most of the liberal media didn't report on the purpose of the voyage.
Not warming as much as they thought.

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
