It’s been really cold here in Campbellsville, Kentucky. Guess its even been really cold in Florida too.
For the past 5 days it has not gotten above freezing during the day and has dropped to the low teens at night. We have been getting our water from our fresh water tank. When we get up at 3:15 am our pump has worked, however, when we get home after 11 hours of work it is frozen. Ed has set up a little heater in the compartment and after 5 minutes we have it thawed, then we turn it off. We keep the hoses inside the shower and only take them out when we have to fill the fresh water tank (or take a shower). We aren’t trying to be careful with our water so we are filling just about every 3 days. Tuesday morning we had about an inch of snow when we went to work!! They delivered propane to us a week ago and hope we don’t need it again before we leave. Even our 2 little space heaters can’t keep it very warm.
Looks like the next 3 days are going to be in the 40’s with lows around 30, so we put the hose back out. But on Saturday, the high will be about 23 and the low into the single digits with a possibility of more snow. Good thing we don’t have far to drive.
Except for the cold weather, which Amazon can’t control, the work here has been much better. They really appreciate all of the workers and when we break records they come around with a grab bag of little gifts. We have had $5 gift certificates to a local bakery, flower shop, a local restaurant and even a couple of lottery scratch tickets! Might not seem like much, but its nice to know they appreciate the workers. The days are long and I wish we didn’t have lunch at 9:30. The afternoon really drags since we have a last break at 12:15. We do get a short 10 minutes at 2:30 too.
We only have 10 days more of work and then we will be headed for some warmer weather I hope. Keep looking at the weather in Texas and it seems to be good. Should be there for a week or two and then on to Yuma where the really warm weather is, I hope!!
We're currently in Gulfport, Mississippi, where we had a hard freeze last night. I wonder how far south we have to go to get out of it?
ReplyDeleteCome to AZ. In the mid 70's every day and going to be 80 on Sunday. Can't believe you only have ten more days to go. Seems like you just got there - well probably not to you guys but to me it does. Glad they are treating you better. That's the wayit should be.
ReplyDeleteSounds really, really cold!! It's been chilly at night (40-ish) but warms up to a wonderful 80 during the day. I hope it stays this way.
ReplyDeleteBest weather in the country right here in Southern Arizona. Record highs coming this week. Low 80's in the daytime.
ReplyDeleteBeen watching the weather in KY since we are thinking of working there next fall. Br-r-r!! Glad you are coping. REALLY glad the people there show their appreciation. The attitudes in Kansas last year were the worst part of the job, I thought. Can't believe you're almost done already!
ReplyDeleteYou two are making me tired! I don't know about you but I can't wait until you are done in 10 days. Warmer weather is coming your way REAL SOON!
