Brick Tamland Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'd rather have 9f with 20mph wind than 100f /dp 68f anyday... Not me. A lot easier to get cool than it is to get warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like sunburn, sweating profusely, potential heat stroke, mosquitos, flies, wasps, hornets, too hot for non water sports, 5 months of weather sameness etc... that kind of enjoyment?

Wait. What prevents you from doing any of those things you listed when it's cold? The beach in winter is often quite tranquil. My kids play outside everyday (well, not yesterday) with a proper coat, hat, and mittens. We still take our kids to the park. My grill works quite well in the cold, Brick.

Brick Tamland Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It's just not enjoyable to me to bundle up and do those things outside. I feel like I can never get warm enough. But I have no problem going to the beach in the summer or playing basketball in the summer when it's in the 90s. Plus, women wear less clothing when it's hot.

GaWx Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Apparently, the pipe(s) in the attic that feed the sprinkler system above my apartment on the northside of Atlanta have burst as the thaw got started. Water was spotted "gushing out" of my unit. Of course, I'm in and have been in Savannah. They're going in there now. Also, I asked my sis to check it out and give me her perspective as soon as she gets a chance since she lives in Atlanta. It was down to ~5 F there. Hopefully, the damage isn't bad, especially to my belongings, though I'm insured. But water "gushing out" doesn't sound good. They claimed that dripping my faucets would have helped. However, I've been told that makes no sense since the sprinker system would normally be on a totally separate line. Also, I did leave my cabinet doors open to let in the heat from the apartment, which was set on 60 F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The problem with leaving the heat on at those low temperatures (60 degrees) is that that may be great where the thermostat is located, by the outside walls get much colder, especially in the temps we had. I use to manage the Energy Management System for DeKalb County School System, and we finally raised the minimum temps in the schools to help counter that problem, as we use to run them at 55 degrees and we had pipes busting.
