· Föderation EN So 14.01.2024 21:50:36 Fun with laundry at -45C windchill (damp clothes out of the washing machine froze solid in less than 1 minute. WOW.)

Föderation EN Mo 15.01.2024 00:42:37 Beautiful fractal ice growing on the edge of the heated water trough, and also on all the gross cobwebs all over the barn ceiling right above the trough. Way prettier than Christmas decorations, good work spiders and physics! Too bad it has to be so cold for this to happen...

Föderation EN Mo 15.01.2024 02:55:18 Forecast for the next few hours has the windchill solidly between -45 to -50C. Our school division won't run busses if the windchill is below -45C, but the schools NEVER CLOSE. (Except for the province-wide teacher's strike that's happening on Tuesday, that's a different story! Wooo! Strike strike strike!) *If* one of the cars starts, we can drive the kids to school and hope windchill is above -45 in the afternoon so the bus will bring them home. What weird Saskatchewan games... |

Föderation EN Mo 15.01.2024 14:49:35 Windchill was -47 at 6am, so buses are cancelled for my kids' school, and the school where my partner teaches is cancelled altogether (tribal schools are often more sensible about weather than public schools). So everyone is staying home. But it's a normal work-from-home day for me so...this'll be fun. Tomorrow is a strike for all public schools here (but not for tribal schools, where teachers are not unionized), and I teach on campus, so it's bring-your-kids-to-work day for me. |

Föderation EN Mo 15.01.2024 14:53:58 2 mysteries from morning chores: 1) How did I manage to get frozen milk all over the leg of my coveralls? 2) Weird satellites! I saw 2 bright satellites (Venus-bright) right next to each other, not moving relative to background stars. So weird it made me drop the bale of hay I was carrying and stare at them, despite the -50 windchill in my face. Over the course of ~20 seconds, they faded, so I guess they were geosynchronous sats that turned their bright solar panels? So freaking many sats... |

Föderation EN Mo 15.01.2024 16:33:20 GOOD MORNING SUN DOGS!! (It hurt a lot to run outside and take this picture in -47 winchill, but it was WORTH IT)
