65°F and sunny here at 10:45.
11 and sunny with about 9" of snow on the ground at 2:00PM. Tonight we'll be -15 (-13 in the valleys) breaking a record set in 1983. I doubt if the high will reach 2 tomorrow. I'm sure that it's colder up north and in the mid-west but this is frigid for here.Quote:

Rain, hail thunder lightning it had it all...
Add to that a few small tornado's lifting a few roofs of houses and doing some more damage.
Luckily my Friesland province in the north missed most of all that "fun".
Next storm ( no 7 in 7 weeks) is just before the UK coast...
All europe sporting much too high temps you guy's stole it all, even freaking Lapland is too hot...
30 and 35 are not normal highs to occur over long periods of time in these here parts. Homes are built to vent out more for the Summer.
Sounds like you guys are getting an extended version of American style weather. We seem (so far) to be having a cool winter relative to this area of southeast NY. I don;t mind it, in fact I prefer it to hot humid summer or mild springlike crap.I was outside before, it was 10 degrees and I felt comfortable. It might get down to -3 below 0 F tonight and I am more worried about the water pipes freezing than me freezing... In any event I kind of like this cold spell as it will prep me for my future life in the far north.Quote:

Mostly the case if the USA./Canada has a cold spell we get the wet depressions and warm weather in winter...saves on the heating bills though..
But we have this for months now, i wouldn't mind some winter here myself, but the expectations are we keep this sh*t up to the end of January at least...
There i am with my winter preparations with kerosene and road salt in plenty supply....;)
I knew i shouldn't have bought it in bulk...
Maybe it might have something to do with climate change ? Perhaps it is not as "natural a cycle" as some may claim.Quote:

Wrapping pipes in freeze prone locations with electric heat tape and covering it with insulation will prevent it. http://www.homedepot.com/b/Plumbing-...n/N-5yc1vZbuy9 As a stopgap measure leaving the water trickling will help, still water freezes before moving water. Where you're concerned, do what my landlord tells complainers running around in their underwear, put on some clothes.
Now stop complaining about the weather, Alaska residents are excused. I heard one of those Ice Road Truckers say; "When it's -20 it's warm, when it's -40 it's cold, when it's -60 it's G damn cold."
