Too cold to play windmills today

Well, too cold for me anyway :roll: , probably not for some of you here. Midday temperature - 0 degC (32F).

I had planned to go out into my (unheated) workshop to develop a single axial flux alternator idea, I lasted 10 minutes and decided to CAD the idea up indoors instead :? - it's ongoing.

Re: Too cold to play windmills today

Cold here in Arkansas...snowed right before Christmas and we're supposed to get 2-3 more inches today. My sister lives in Iowa...she said they were supposed to get 18" before Christmas.

I did the same thing the other day...went into the shop to work on the windmill and went right back in because it was so cold. I have a brand new pot belly stove I just need to install the chimney...not gonna happen when it's 19F.

Re: Too cold to play windmills today

Born in Ohio & moved to PA soon thereafter. We lived in the valley on the Western side near Erie. Didnt mind it much then because we were kids...but now I cant stand it below 60. I guess that comes from living in TX so long. It snowed here yesterday then melted the same day. That's the kind of snow storm I like. Now ya see it, now ya dont!

Re: Too cold to play windmills today

I use the "paradise scale" of temperatures. I feel it is just as valid as selecting 0, 32, 100 and 210. When I say it is 10 below, I mean it is 10F below 80F (70F). Today it is 20 below (60F)! brrrrrrr. Snow? Not likely, but it is windy :-) Definitely blowing a gale.
