You guys keeping cool up there?
« on: January 03, 2014, 10:12:09 PM »
41.5 C or 107.5 F under my patio ATM, 2.05 PM.

It's hot enough already, turn it down now please? Record heat all over Australia ATM. I'm not lighting up any blow torches today. :-)

Texas Gulf Coast is cold for us- lows in the middle 30s (fahrenheit), highs in the upper 50s.

You should come for a visit to the northern prairies in Canada. The truck showed -39C the other nite. Good thing we had very little wind. Too cold and windy this winter so far.

The last time I touched snow I was 12 years old and visiting France, I'm very close to 58 now. I need a visit to some snowy place again.

Not me!!!  I'll go for the 107 over 1 any week of the year.  Maybe it's where I grew up -- you could expect a month at 110 and above.  But 1 degree?  I don't move any better than a lizard at that temp.

My nic is a misnomer anymore.  I am limited as to when I can go outside. Right now @5:30am it is 25ºf.  It needs to come up 1º before I emerge. Much over 90º and I am stuck inside.  Its a good thing that I can work anywhere.  I may have to become a snowbird & live in a warmer place a couple of months each year.

That would give me another place to fill up with tools & stuff.  Hmm, start collecting places?

Our high for today is spose to be 16. That's not incredibly cold for us.

Some schools in the area have already canceled class for Monday because the predicted -30 with wind chill.

-9 degrees at my house this morning, central Connecticut.
Warm weather predicted for Sunday w/rain. Then Monday starts at 40 degrees but will drop to zero by the end of the afternoon. They say it's going to be a record temp. drop for that short of time.

supposed to be 42for a high today (Saturday) Monday 0 for the high, Sunday SNOW, 8-12"  they keep moving the line, but we keep being in the middle of it???? Well the snow will act as insulation! Have a couple of extra gator loads of wood by the house, a good cord of wood. As long as it doesn't get so cold the propane does vaporize or the power go out for any length of time we will be ok.  Some wild swings in temperature this winter!
