YukonTyler Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 It has been like this for a week ... glad i don't have to drive my 6.4 daily when drops down to these temps. That said, 2 battery pads, a 125w oil pan heater, the block heater and 5/40 Delvac and she'll fire right up : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I like where the forecast lists "Condition: Not Observed" Does that mean it's to cold to go outside to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshbuys Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 It appears you'll be getting a break Wednesday with temperatures reaching a brisk high of -29* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Isn't this a goofy winter? Our snow came two weeks early and usually the first snow doesn't "stick". We're in the tropics with only -15C~-20C Unfortunately, this thick blanket of snow is keeping the frost from getting into the ground and almost the entire oil patch is made out of snot.

Jeff Clyde Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 My sister asked me if I wanted to come back up for a visit, I politely declined ! Although I do miss the area since my visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Clayton Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Gonna be around 70F degrees all week here. I'm out raking up the pine needles in the yard in a short sleeve shirt and sweating up a storm. Needless to say with this hot a winter here, I am not looking forward to the summer.

Aaron Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 +12 © today here. That means I don't have to wear my bright orange MTO reflector jacket tonight to my girlfriend's dad's birthday party. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DwayneGorniak Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 During a cold winter like ours, you definitely need some good whiskey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VVvXCf35tI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Warman Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I don't even like 80 as a high in July........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregH Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Less than six hours of sunlight.... I think that would be worse than the cold. Much as I like to use my telescope, I need to have sun in my face during the day. These days since I teach class all day, I take a long walk or bike ride after work before the sun gets too low.

mrbudge Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I was in Iceland for Christmas two years ago. The sun was rising at about 11:00, sets at about 3:30. The weird thing is it never gets too cold with temps around the freezing point day and night. I am used to it being bitchin cold at night in winter, so it took some getting used to being outside in the dark and not freezing to death. The sun is barely above the horizon at that time of year, so the way the light shone on the lavafields was quite interesting. I would go back there in a minute.

Reykjavic has been on my short list for a long time ... I'd love to get over there one of these days. We sound similar to them these days. The jet stream moved further north and gave us a nice shot of southern air. Woke up to -2 this morning and lots of fresh snow. It's a nice reprieve from the blasts. The sun is a bit of a downer at these times. No windows in our shop, so if I'm stuck on a longer job like today then there's a good chance I don't see it. Sun rises around 10:45 or so, but it doesn't get over the mountains 'til noon. Then it's gone past the mountains by 1:30 and it's dark again by 3:30.
