danc Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 It was probably close to -50 with the wind chill today. So cold that when I shut this door at my job today, the paint shattered and fell off in a million tiny fragments. Honestly.
Roy Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Dang! That IS chilly, Dan. In the banana belt here I woke up to -13 and 5-6" of poop on the ground. It shot up to zero by noon then promply came back down to seasonal temp of -10. Cold isn't too bad, it's the wind/humidity that gets to me. ps. Protect that cam lens!
danc Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Posted February 16, 2008 Roy, this February has been a reminder of winters from the past. We've had more frigid weather lately than I can remember. -30 tonight again. I'm staying in the house until Monday. Make that Tuesday. I almost forgot about the new NASCAR recovery holiday. And the photo was taken with my cel phone. I wouldn't bring any of my better cameras out in this weather!! Have a great weekend Bud and stay warm...
ccmtcanada Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 We haven't had winter since 1999-2000 so I suppose we were due! The nasty stuff coming for Sunday/Monday is looking like freezing rain and rain for Southern Ontario, but snow for the north!!
tbayboy Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Yikes, thanks for reminding me why I left Thunder Bay Dan (ok so maybe it was more job related but still). All of my buddies back home are thinking the same as you - reminds them of days in high school before we were driving and having to wait for the bus or walk to school in -40 wind chills. Ahh memories, and it was uphill both ways too!
brkygetr Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 yes it is cold....nostril freezing cold! ...still made it out on the ice this aft during the balmy -24 of the afternoon. basically an excuse to get out of the house and stare at the t.v. (Vex). Now I am home in the warmth cookin some venny, drinkin' a pop thinkin' bout how cold I am gonna be at 6:30 tommorrow morn brkygetr
nofish4me Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Ya, I remember walking to school in -40° weather, in 2' of snow, and it was uphill both ways.
Joey Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Well quit slamming the door then Dan Yep, she was pretty bitter out there. Joey
Greencoachdog Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Aww c'mon Dan!... it wasn't that cold!!! I mean it was kinda cool sometimes when the sun would go behind the clouds and the wind would blow.. but not really that bad.
Mike the Pike Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 So far this year I have used my 5 year old snowblower more this winter than all the 4 previous winters combined. Hey Cliff give us a skating rink update will ya Bud?
