Sw33t Summ3r Ch1ld Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Woke up with about 1 cm of snow on the ground and on the cars. It warmed up to about 40 degrees F and was sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Very very nice down here in New Orleans. That ought to change by Friday if not sooner. Friends in Austin are very unhappy with their 33 degree temperatures. Those up north as in IL and ND are even more unhappy. - 2 in Fargo. 10 inches of snow fell on my brother's driveway, which is very long and very curvy. Also dropping to 20 below he says They tell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 We’re supposed to have night time lows of -25 C by the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw33t Summ3r Ch1ld Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 It's 22 degrees Fahrenheit where I live. No snow but it has been cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 It’s -20 C out there (lower with the wind chill) and I promised to take a friend to her physio session in half an hour. I’m not looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Oh fuck, I was wondering why my internet dropped. It’s -20 and the power just went out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankets, blankets, blankets! It's -14 here before the wind chill. But the weather is suppose to reach 30 by Sunday. Should be in the high 30's in Toronto by that time. Talk about swings in short periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Heading out for the day, to Acadiana, where it is in the 30's. This is in the US Deep South, which is why the temp is considered remarkable for February. Evidently NYC is having one of the coldest weekends on record.

In my neck of the woods, temperature is currently 17 F ( -8 C) and dropping, which is a strange thing to see at 9:30 in the morning. Supposed to get to -15 F (-26 C) tonight with wind chills to -40 F (-40 C). And then on Sunday we're supposed to have a high of 46 F (8 C). Quite a swing indeed. At least I can walk on the pond behind our house with Dante Jr on Saturday... It hasn't frozen solid enough for that this winter.

Ser Arthurs Dawn Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 It's 0F where I'm at. And I made the mistake of filling up my gas tank without gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Arryn Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 What age do kids start actually liking snow? My almost three year olds have a very adult attitude towards it: nice to look at from the comfort of a heated room. Outside? Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put them in snow suits and walk around in the snow with them, or they’ll hate winter. -20 C is not helping though. James Arryn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you take them sledding and/or teach them how to ski or ice skate for the first time. Or if you're a monster, when you indoctrinate them with ice fishing. Edited February 4, 2023 by Tywin et al.

We just babysat my 2 year old granddaughter who refuses to wear mitts and only wears her spring boots. My daughter at that age was the same.

DireWolfSpirit Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Ahh the snow hill sledding. Those were the Darwinian moments when we always had one in the group that would invariably get stuck half way back up, boots filled with snow, tears freezing on their little faces, as we"d sled around them till some interloping adult did a rescue. Great stuff it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteGabriel Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 The ice was thick enough on the pond to walk on today. Dante Jr and I spent about an hour before my cheeks started aching. He is much more comfortable in the cold, and would go out in freezing weather in a T-shirt if we let him. The pond surface was like glass. From afar it looked like the surface was pretty rough and choppy, but when we got out there it was many small fractalized piles of powdered ice. Pretty neat.

Great stuff it was. We dug big holes in the snow and made ramps right after them. Great way to have a lot of fun or knock the wind out of you. Especially in those shitty saucer sleds. Also, we targeted those poor fucks you're describing. None of this sledding around business. Edited February 5, 2023 by Tywin et al.
