Surviving the Polar Vortex


Some people are reporting frost quakes in the Midwest.  It's a strange phenomenon that occurs when there is a sudden temperature drop and saturated rock or soil cracks.  It sounds like an explosion.  We saw a new record in our town yesterday when the wind chill hit -46º during the day.  I kept my outside time to less than five minutes in order to prevent frostbite.  The winds have stopped blowing today which makes the outside air feel about 22º warmer than yesterday.

I would like to thank my friends and family for all the prayers during our weather challenges.  Hell may have frozen over during this last storm but we are thriving.  The polar vortex will soon be a memory.  Have a great day.
