This is what my wife and I woke to this Sunday morning:
Okay, you win.This is what my wife and I woke to this Sunday morning:
The fog is natural as it usually happens when the temperature drops to perhaps -30º F and colder:
That’s brutal. I’m not built for those temperatures! Stay warm and safe.This is what my wife and I woke to this Sunday morning:
Just a few minutes of sunlight as you can see (sort of reddish colors) a few yards behind the birch tree (took the photo from the back porch of my house around 1:30 PM). The fog is natural as it usually happens when the temperature drops to perhaps -30º F and colder:
Thanks! When it is this cold my wife and I stay at home and sometimes my wife wears heavy winter clothing and walks to one of our neighbors who lives across the street. Our neighbor loves Alaska, but she dislikes the cold winter temperatures. She won't even walk to our house, and sometimes drives her car from her house to ours
Most times I have noticed that the ice fog in the interior of Alaska where I live, happens at the ambient temperatures near the minus 30's degrees and colder. It is certainly present by the time the temperature reaches -40º F (-40º C). As far as I understand it, this fog is comprised of crystalized water vapor. In this case any moisture is the air turns to ice, including the moisture from automobile exhausts, from boilers and furnaces, power plants, even one's breath, and so on. Somewhere close to -40 degrees and colder, one can toss hot water or coffee in the air, and it almost instantly turns to ice fog. There are some videos about this subject floating around in YouTube
-3 is tolerable and the snow should be amazing. 55 degrees though is awful and I am someone who loves warm/hot weather.
Sat in four layers inside most of winter. We keep the house between 14-16.5 degrees most of the time. Far too cold for my liking.Thanks!

I keep mine at 17 then push up to 20 in the evening. At the moment I'm paying around £240 a month for gas & electricity.
I remember hearing of someone who was (I think) a distant relative who lived in Alaska and liked it, but was thinking of moving away eventually, because as they got older, they were less tolerant of the winters. This would have been 30 years ago--I now wonder what happened...
The thermometer looks pegged to me, so it may be colder than -60.

Don’t be silly. There isn’t any temperature below that. Just suffering and death!
It has been so overcast today that cars had their headlights on (and inside, lights were also on) from around 15.00.
Yes, at least four layers have been donned, here, too.
Indeed. There was less wind today though. I went for a walk in the woods earlier and with the appropriate clothes it wasn’t especially cold.
Appropriately attired - as I was today - means that one can cope with the weather.
We (wife and I) pay more than you for heating and electricity. In our case we may pay more during the winter (about 6 months) and about 75% to 80% less than that during the summer since heating is not needed. Last week I purchased 300 gallons (US gallon) of heating fuel at a cost of $3.69 USD (3.13 Euro). The totals cost was $1,111 USD. The heating fuel tank holds a total of 518 gallons, but I keep the fuel level nearly one-half full.
I understand what you are doing to stay warm inside your house. My wife and I wear layers of insulating clothing and various types of insulated footwear indoors. For heating, both the house and water for showers, we have an oil-fired boiler. The boiler has two separate tanks, one where the hot water is premixed with a type of glycol that is safe for home use, and the other tank contains the hot water for showers, dishwasher, clothes washer, and sinks throughout the house.
Completely agree with you. I see fully grown men in shorts in all weather. Very strange....
Two trains of thought.
The least they could to is to wear fleece pajama pants to keep their legs warm.
