It is too cold for anything to function. Can we just stop trying?
This morning, while frantically trying to make it to a vet appointment with a borrowed horse trailer, I learned that zip ties do not function below -30C. I also learned that air compressor hoses become very brittle and actually snap in half below -30C.
And when I got back home, I (re-)learned that slowly dripping water faucets lead to frozen drainpipes.
I am ready to haul water+wood, go nowhere, and live in a yurt again.
