[AT] Polar Ice Caps

[Ralph Goff]

Not to worry Charlie. I have been here before and will likely survive a few 
more winters. We hit +20 on the weekend and it snowed so hard I could hardly 
see across the yard. Snow was melting on the hood of the Cockshutt 40 from 
all the heat generated by the hard working Buda six running the hammer mill 
that day. That night I had to install the snowblower to clear a path for a 
stuck car . The moon was so bright that I was working without lights and it 
was plenty warm even at 0 degrees.
Different story today though. -10F and a nasty southeaster blowing the 
falling snow. Predictions for worse tomorrow with wind chill factor in 
the -40F range.
Re: the heat light on engines, can't say that I have used it as most engines 
here come equipped with block (coolant) heaters. Just plug them in for a few 
hours and they start. I've known people that leave their vehicles plugged in 
24 hours a day. Must make the power companies happy but if you need a 
vehicle ready to go at short notice it is almost necessary.
What I need now is a block heater for my air compressor. The big Coleman 6 
hp refused to start today in the unheated shed. I've got an old car interior 
warmer that I plan to plug in and see if I can persuade it to turn over 
tomorrow.

We all know how that thar global warming works different from what people 
might think, Charlie.  Part of the reason I was thinking the ice cap may be 
attacking our friend Ralph. It appears like the carbon credits worked much 
faster than expected.
