Frosty...

[schmenke]

We've been fortunate with a relatively mild winter... until today...

Hope the local ambient conditions are more favourable in your area...

Sorry, I'm pants with attachments. Here's the linky, although it may change with the weather... :mark:

-32C at my house this morning. Wind chill makes it -49C. I actually had to wear a coat to shovel the snow. The fireplace beckons...

Ditto.

Thank goodness for a block heater, although it does bugger-all for transmission fluid (my left leg got a work out on the morning drive in to work :p : ).

I'd bet there's a bunch of members here who have absolutely no idea what a block heater is . hehe

You mean that you don't have to start a fire under the engine to warm it up?

Last night was the coldest we've had hereabouts this "winter" with -12C, it's bloody ridiculous, there has barely been snow on the ground for a week now and it might melt away again this week. For the fourth time this winter. I'd take -30C and meter of snow rather than this.

I live on the shores of Severn Sound part of Georgian Bay. The small bays froze Dec. 2. Ice huts out by the 10th. Then a big thaw with huge thunderstorm. Some huts ended up in the bay. Most people just got their huts back out over the weekend being very cautious. Only about 3 to 4 inches of good solid blue ice and 6 of slushy stuff. We also got about 4 feet of snow locally so it acts as insulation. Now there is another mild spell with rain forecast for tonight. Here we go again! Lake Simcoe a huge ice fishing area still has open water as does most of Georgian Bay.
I own a fishing tackle store so follow this closely!

Send some of the white stuff to Sweden please schmenke :up:

Never heard of it, but I can guess what it is for. Have a look at your temp, remove the - symbol and you have our temp. The coldest it gets here is around 10C in winter.

Hoping global warming will not fluctuate temperature than their normal.

[schmenke]

I could take some of that global warming right about now :hmph:

[leopard]

global warming may cause your coldest night colder ;)

We had a lovely spring day last thursday and another today.

Two months early, though :mark:

[ninjashoes]

[Daniel]

Supposed to get some snow on Friday :) Winter is here perhaps?

[schmenke]

Our cold snap finally broke. Forecast high for the day is a balmy -15 deg. C :mark:

It didn't break, it just moved about 1200km's east. We had -4C on Monday. Now it's -30 with -45 windchill.

[Easy Drifter]

Southern Ont. didn't really need your cold weather either, although the ice fishermen may disagree.

[Hazell B]

Schmenke's -15 is just a vision of balminess to us damp Brits :mark:

It's something we see only on a calendar :p :

[Dave B]

According to Metcheck, we're going to die on Sunday :s

[Daniel]

Apparently it's only going to feel like -235 here. I laugh at that sort of weather! But -241. Brrrrrrr

[edv]

That's pretty funny. At lest some of the elements would still be in liquid form at that temperature, so you won't be thirsty!

[Easy Drifter]

At least it isn't -272. Absolute 0.
Many,many years ago Gary Magwood raced under the #-272. Very few people caught on.
