Re: Weird, wild weather: floods, freak storms, giant hail, record lows, all over the world
Extraordinary low temps tonite in Colorado.
I was wondering what is that strange cold feeling that seems to be penetrating 6 inches with an R22 on the walls and R50 on the ceiling. Each floor is insulated with 12 inches of high efficiency fiberglass batt with a 3/4 inch cellulose fiber tile. The house is pretty air tight with 3 pane argon gas filled windows.. Doors are double insulated with storm doors, foam filled inside door.. So....
The feeling of the cold wave seems to be penetrating.. It is an odd sensation, sorta like walking up infront of a -40 degree walk in freezer, (but not walking inside).. A feeling of cold, very cold..
Well i took my optical thermometer and started snooping around outside.. This is something that one doesn't want to just take a deep breath in..
On the snow about 15 feet infront of the house, I measured -26 degrees F.. or -32 C.
That is really un-heard of, it was about 29 PLUS F today.. This evening tho, something odd came in...
Pointing at my car above the ground it is -11 F currently..
Different spots on the ground are showing -26F, -11F, 0F, -15F... The temperature of my outside storm door glass is -11F.. If I point the optical thermometer 4 feet up, it goes to +5F...
Unbelievable.. I have no clue what in the world is happening here.. It is very odd...
I am using my airtight stove to heat and it is having a very hard time keeping up tonite.. Normally it would be quite hot in the great room, but it is about 15 degrees lower than normal operating temp..
