wind chill

That wind chill!

I’m supposed to be sleeping in right now.  My daughter will be doing the morning rounds today, but…

Yikes!!!

That’s -28C/-18F with a windchill of -38C/-37F, in case the image isn’t showing up.

Brutal!

The wind is coming from the northwest, though, and we are pretty well sheltered from those.

Our high for today isn’t supposed to be much warmer, either.  We’ve got one more day like this, then things are supposed to warm up dramatically for a while.

Checking the critter cam, the cats in the sun room are active and prowling around, waiting for food and warm water.  There must be something wrong with the wall thermometer, though.   The needle is just below freezing.  I didn’t have my glasses while looking out the bathroom window, but it looks like it’s reading around -5C/-23F and there’s no way it’s that warm in there.

I’m supposed to be going back to bed right now….

Just checking the temperatures before heading to bed.

The first screencap image is Celsius, the second in Fahrenheit.   Instagram wouldn’t let me show the whole image, even though that’s what I set it for.  Underneath, it gave the expected overnight windchill of -36C/-32F

I keep telling myself, the isolation babies are okay.  They like to curl up together on the cat bed in the upper level.  It is under the lounging shelf, so there is a low ceiling, the back wall is insulated, the side wall in that corner is insulated, and the box nest next to the cat bed forms another insulated wall.  In front of the cat bed is the heated water bowl.  All this, plus the insulation forming a ceiling, plus the heat lamp.  They should be just fine.

But still, I worry!
