Weather report. How cold?

Some locals having fun in the cold

Boiling water myth busters

Fun! Reminds me of a cold morning in college. I was walking to the dining hall one sub-zero morning. I passed by a high-rise dorm, when a water balloon burst on the sidewalk right in front of me, the apparent target. The water froze mid-splash! I just started laughing, as it reminded me of something I would expect to see on Looney Tunes.

Well, I could be a prick and thumb my nose at you all WAY up north... but I used to live in Canada & know (as you do) what real cold is. Mind you, we were used to it and/or expected it back then. It's the middle of summer down here in Australia = where the North is hot and the South is a lot cooler (after Tasmania there's Antarctica). Anyway, it was a max of 27C today with some blessed rain. I believe that it's going down to 12C tonight. A lovely 21C tomorrow.

Stay safe Cobbers.

You to. -18F again here this morning. Not much trouble with bugs, snakes or crocodiles.

:laughing: Not to many crocs down here... but everything else is trying to kill me! The other day I went to fill my kettle for a second cup of morning coffee = that's when I spotted the scorpion in the kitchen sink! I helped the little critter out (with a healthy dose of bug spray) and went back to my coffee.

Sometime during the night, it went down to -14F, but by 7am it was up to -1F. Spring is just around the corner!

It's 27 F out here this morning. Supposed to hit a lovely high of 57F today. It's gonna be nice going outside and not freezing my butt off. lol

I'll be glad when it does continue to stay warm out.

Dang temp outside is still 28 danged degrees and it is almost 1:00pm! Snow is sorta falling and it is sticking. Kids got a half day of school today to avoid the wintery mess. Wifey saw a car down an embankment bringing the kids home from school. Road crews started brining two days ago so the roads are prepped but the wifey said the roads are slick in spite of the salt.

Got wood to the house, the stove has been burning for days, and we ain't going anywhere.

Later,
Dan

FYI brining is a waste of money. They are hauling a load that is more then half water when mother nature will deliver all the water you need in the form of ice or snow so each truck load only goes half as far as it could if loaded with dry rock salt. . Your DOT has bought a load of snake oil from the salesmen that sell the brine pumps and equipment and the only reason they haven't got caught at it is that your average snow ice event is usually fallowed by a spell of warmer weather that takes care of the problem.
