I went to the fort worth stockyard for some all you can eat ribs. They were beef ribs.

I cant wait till i buy a new smoker. At least ill be able to return to cooking and smoking year roud.

Smoked salmon, pork ribs, chicken wimgs, ill have a list worked up so yhe wife and i will be having lots of leftovers. I do like sliced smoke salmon with melted cooking cheese, topped with sun dried tomatoes, on toast or ... A tosted chibatta.

 

Actually, my thoughts were about kansas city baby back bbq ribs... would I still get myself crucified for that in Tennessee?

There are only two people in Tennessee who know that beef can be barbecued, and I don't know the other one.

My part of Ohio this morning is -18°F and the relative humidity is 98%. Some say, it's not the temperature, it’s the humidity. They are wrong.

when i was young and people had cords on the phones and got up off the couch to change the channel to one of the three TV networks, they had a name for the cold and snow. Winter was the name, and freezing things to death was game. So what's changed and why wasn't I told?

On Tuesday, the Merrimack, New Hampshire Police Department wrote on Facebook it had an “arrest warrant” for Punxsutawney Phil, adding that the groundhog should be considered armed and dangerous after he “told several people that Winter would last 6 more weeks, however he failed to disclose that it would consist of mountains of snow!”

News flash, he's been spotted.

 

It was so cold yesterday that I swear my eyeballs were frosting over. As I walked out of the Home Depot yesterday, my eyeballs frosted over to the point that I couldn't see where I was going. It was like looking through a frozen over window.

 

The worst I ever saw was 17 F in Indianapolis...and that was enough to get me to leave.
Now it's minus 17 F !! (in nearby places like Ohio)
This global warming is wrecking our winters!!

Here in Florida, I've had the furnace on for 2 days. As an HVAC person, this is a notable moment. When the cold soaks through the cement block houses, my winter cash flow (traditionally) starts. Fortunately, Dog retired me from the business. All I have to do today is stay inside and hide from the weather.

You've got it all wrong, #12.

Cold is weather. Hot is climate.

Get with the program.

Today, and this weekend, it's supposed to be our turn. They are forecasting one to two feet of snow for Denver and Colorado Springs, depending on who you listen to, which means that we will probably get somewhere between four and eight feet (I'm betting on closer to four feet here). So today is being spent moving the vehicles around and getting the Yukon running again (it has an intermittent electrical fault somewhere that is draining the battery at times) and the Beast moved up to the house and the winch mounted in the trailer receiver in case I need it when plowing.

Other than that, I need to stock up the inside woodpile fully and throw the heater cable onto the north roof so that we don't end up with another ice dam.

No, it's the humidity. When we get -20°F here it is cold, but just a couple decent layers of clothing makes it so that you can spend all day out in it. When I was down in Florida at it got down to +40°F, there was NO amount of clothing (that I found) that could make it tolerable.

 

My comment was tongue in cheek (i.e., a joke). Despite that, I was careful to use the term, relative humidity. Although dew point and relative humidity can be related, the "muggy" feeling is best related to dew point.

I know you were.

When you are well below freezing, it takes very little moisture to hit high relative humidities since the air can hold so little water. I'm guessing that is what you are referring to? I'm not sure what you mean by the muggy feeling being best related to the dew point. If someone tells me that the dew point is 50°F, that tells me nothing about whether it is going to feel muggy or not. If the temperature is 53°F then that is going to be very muggy as the relative humidity is over 90%, but if the temperature is 100°F then that might actually be pretty dry for some since the relative humidity is below 20%.

 

Allow me:

 

I don't see how that addresses the question of whether it is the dew point or the relative humidity that is the primary indicator of human comfort. It supports the numbers I threw out, but it doesn't say whether my interpretation of those number is reasonable or not.
