These are the kind of temps that make one go from is the wood seasoned enough to if its not covered in snow/ice throw it in and i will sweep the pipe when it warms up! I dont mind a night or 2 like this, we have been seriously spoiled this year so far, its the foot of snow then a week of subzero BS that kills me.

Feeding wildlife is generally not recommended.
Please don’t treat this squirrel like a pet.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I guess she'll be fine.

As hard as this is going to be to do, it's a wild animal and you really shouldn't interfere with the squirrel whatsoever

Probably going to have an extra cup of coffee and maybe an extra log in the wood stove. Normally I’d be at Smuggs for some laps, but with the wind and temps, nah. Plenty of season left.

Yep. Retrofitting a barn to be housing is just a crazy expensive idea; it would be a very unique situation to have it be worthwhile as affordable housing.

Make sure you've got a blanket per person and everyone in the car has a good jacket, hat, gloves, and scarf.
I won't be going anywhere because I don't have to.

Bingo. If the barn is in a rural area (likely), there is no town water or sewage, so that means septics and wells for multiple apartments, and that gets expensive fast.

Been prepared for this since the day after Thanksgiving.
More worried about my chickens, they haven't seen these kinda temps yet and aren't acclimated.

It's crazy they can do this. I work for the state and our conflict of interest rules would never allow anything close to that.

No sound it’s pretty quiet. Some noise from the rear hub motor but otherwise nothing. Except the horn which was surprisingly loud.

The first place that I ever owned was a duplex, built in 1906, converted to duplex in the 1970s and not much modernized. Suffice it to say that the house needed some work. My family and I lived in the 1000 sq. ft. 2 bedroom apartment downstairs and rented out the 650 sq. ft. apartment upstairs. Talk about having strangers live close by. Especially awkward when your tenant has their girlfriend over and they're banging like rabbits directly over your own bedroom at night. 30 feet of separation between 2 buildings would have seemed like a mile in that situation.

Does it make sound or is it entirely silent?

Youth sports, much like capitalism, doesn’t stop for anything. Think we’ll be alright though.

Something about rich people owning second and third homes, and the peasants living in barns, feels off-color to me.

Those are fictional “wind chill” numbers based on your feelings, how hairy you are, and if you’re standing bare in the wind. Not real temperatures.
