Brr!!! -24F/-31C today

[blunosr]

Hi, I just went out for my morning coffee. It was -31C (that's about -24F) without windchill. My truck wasn't happy with me. It was only -20C (-4F) yesterday so I didn't plug the block heater in... It's plugged in now.

This whole "Global Warming" thing is a hard sell with me. And from my point of view, a little warming would be ok. The planet was a lot warmer when the dinosaurs were around, and they were big... there must have been plenty of food around back then. And in the Carboniferous Period (that's when all the coal was deposited) the planet was a giant jungle, and about 10-15 degrees warmer on average and life flourished... Just sayin'

I did have my old 1966 Ford 5000 running yesterday (-20C/-4F) to clear snow. It liked being plugged in for a few hours, but it started right up. And ran great after it warmed up although the hydraulics were sluggish for the first while.

It's too cold today, I'm just going to hibernate...

Bye for now,

I have family there in Ft St John, and always wonder how they deal with the weather. That's just too cold for me. 70 degrees F here today in TX and beautiful outside. I'm in shorts and a T Shirt!!!!

Now that is what I call extreme cold weather conditions. You are probably used to living in those conditions, but never the less, please stay warm and safe.

That's a bit chilly. I agree with the whole global warming thing. I'll burn some styrofoam and run my 2 stroke today to do my part to warm things up a little

oh no way too early for that around here. It was in the 20 degrees F around here this morning, but now it is sunny and in the low 50's. Going to change this coming week with a chance of rain/freezing rain/snow on Wednesday and Thursday.

Ouch! We have been in the 40's here in iowegian area, and I do not know what I am going to do when it gets cold out, cause I have been freezing my keester off!! I think I will add a little c o to the air today by driving to get some chili beans to make methane for green house gasses. Maybe that will warm things up.

And you live there year round? Even the ducks go South for the winter.
