Saw cars floating in the middle of the street this morning.
They launched a boat to get the people out.

Aye...wettest summer on record.

The upside to that, at least here, is that everything's nice and green instead of the usual crispy brown at this time of year. Good canoeing too  

weather.com says it's 2 degrees with wind chill of -21

wind gusts up to 40 mph in some places....

So that's -17 C with wind chill of -29C for those outside the USofA.


Previous record here on this day was 10 degrees in 1942.


For our area - this is about as cold as it gets. Pretty brutal.

Fuckin wind is the worst..........  

Windchill this morning here was supposedly -46C. Wife said the 25-minute walk to work wasn't bad once she remembered to direct her breath outwards through the scarf rather than up. It was icing up her eyelids. Actual overnight temp was -34C. We're used to cold, but this is starting to get old; we're in the southern part of Canada  

But the sun is shining, so I guess it's my turn to go out and shovel another foot of snow out of the driveway.

Well, it's extremely cold as Florida goes. Mid-20's last night. Had to run the pool pump all night to keep the pipes from freezing.

Sunday afternoon was a pleasant 70 degrees though. Stopped for a couple of adult beverages and some football during a long ride on the R2.     

HA! It's been 10-15 degrees all week and I've been out enjoying my new winter toys!

Great. So it's colder in Delaware than it is in Alaska right now???

7 degrees this morning.

Thank god the wind has died down. That was the killer.

Going back to more normal January temps of 25-35 by end of day tomorrow.

Nice Yamaha's Skierd.   

Not just Alaska, but interior Alaska, where it's normally-30 our colder from November to February. Anchorage and the coast doesn't get nearly as cold as we do.

1 degree F here in Delaware this morning. 4-8 inches of snow predicted for tonight into tomorrow.




I seriously need to move where there's palm trees. I hate winter so much!!!

18 - 28 mph winds too.... -19F wind chill

-29c here tonight (-20f)

And yeah, I HATE WINTER !!!!!!!!

-17 F this morning here.

Stupid groundhog!

ok... i'll add my post from the local DS club site today... in which the thread title has a 4 letter profanity in it directed at mega snow fall..

pheft... Tidman you have my vote ..the last straw was when my snow blower started ran about 5o revolutions at half throttle then quit...now the motor will turn over per usual for about 2/3 of a revolution until it hits a certain area then a brick wall stop...  i'm thinking either some ice dislodged and is getting caught in the flywheel... or it sucked snow somehow into the carb and created zero combustion chamber clearance... who the hell knows...  I went to get the socket set out of the car trunk to pull the blower..plug... oh wait i gotta shovel out the  trunk lid ..
