1/7/14 – In the last 30 days only two nights have recorded a low temperature that was above zero. Two nights ago we hit -31F and yesterday the high temperature was -19F. The old timers used to say, “Time to button up the coat!”
When I stepped outside this morning, it was noticeably warmer at -22F.
I’ve been busy keeping our electrical, heating and communications systems up and running. Our radio phones have been flaky due to excessive frost on the antennas and some intermittent power failures at the base station in Lutsen.
All things considered, we’re maintaining just fine and looking forward to the coming heatwave. The forecast is calling for temperatures in the 20s by the weekend. – Bill
