What's the Temperature out there Burr... ?
 

- All of 7.5 degrees above with wind whipping the snow all over the place.

Heard theres the Threat of rolling blackouts unless power consumption goes
down.

I see birds flying around out there; skimming out over the Ice
How do they do it ?

Going out in a bit to get antifreeze for the car..

Must be sweltering out where you live;
Tell us about the sun blocker you have to put on !

The thought will keep us all warm...

I'm up north in Ridgecrest and it did get very cold last night, it's
33f outside right now. The sun is coming up and I can feel it on my back
through the window. We normally have a 40 degree spread in temperatures
so it will be around 60 something today, I may head south later today to
get out of this cold.
I had a "Rolling Blackout" last night, I turned off the lights and
rolled up in the electric blanket.

The hummingbirds are feeding at all three feeders, the big birds are
feeding in the yard on the seed I put out last night.

Aren't you a little late putting antifreeze in your car??

Yes, if I take the Porsche with the top down I have to put on lots of
"PF22" Sun block and hope the wind doesn't dry my skin out to much.

I have some Miles Davis and Lional Hampton as will as lots of other jazz.

Have a nice day,

Stay Warm.

Our Bedroom gets down to the 50's ; Electric blankets are one of mans greater

Had our black out last summer; Used to have Rolling Blackouts when I attended
College in Mexico City.

Let there be Windmill generators !

I find it interesting that the upper midwest goes through this weather every
year ... but when it hits the east coast ... it's national news. It's no news
folks ... it's a real winter.

It's national news when it hits the east coast because it effects millions and
millions of people. It's not national news if the upper midwest experiences
zero temps because it only effects the 500 people living there and the
millions and millions of moose, elk and bear that live there too. What's more
newsworthy? The fact that it is cold in the upper midwest where it is cold
like this every winter. Or on the east coast where it rarely gets below zero.
Odd weather makes news. Just like if New York emptied out and moved to
Milwaukee. Now that would be news.

I am in Montreal Canada. We hit about -52 F the other night. I had the
heat at maximum, and I was only able to heat part of my house to about 52 F.
We are back up to about -26 now, and I am able to get the heat to near
normal. The garage, even with the heat going full blast was about 25 F.
The water on the cement floor was frozen solid. I am sitting in the living
room with the computer, and I can feel the coldness radiating from the outer
walls.

News about the cold in the Canadian Atlantic provinces is ending (I will
believe this when I see it)
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...258003121_84//

On the local news they reported that some people were found frozen to death!
There are warnings on the radio and TV to try to find ways to conserve
power. There are cars all over the streets that just will not start. The
auto mechanics are overloaded with work. It is hard to find someone that can
take in an auto repair without waiting a few days.

The weather man on TV has a good sense of humour with all of this. He was
saying that we are going to have a heat wave next week. The temperature are
supposed to warm up to about -10 F. Yea... I was laughing all right...

If Hell can find a place to freeze over, let it come here! I think it will
come to a full stop!

I was wondering the same thing. What keeps their eyes (cornea) from
freezing in the sub-zero wind chill?

- What sort of insulation do you have ??

Wow, that is cold! I bet you have to use special engine oil in
your car. I'll never complain about the Scottish weather here again.
It is unusual for us to go much lower than 20F in winter, and
certainly unusual for the daytime max. to be below freezing. Snow is
even fairly rare here, despite our massive annual precipitation.
Our summers are rather cool by your standards too (60 - 75F). We
complain a lot about the rain, wind and cloudy days. But really, we're
not hard done by, especially compared to you guys!

BTW, what day was that -59 F ?

Can't find it.

Yeah, such weather isn't all that unusual here, either. I don't follow
the national weather news much, though. Do such cold snaps in Chicago
make the national news?

NY's current weather is what we in Minnesota would call "a little nippy".
