How cold was it?

[oldtimer 66]

I took this picture this morning at 6:15 AM at the intersection of Rt. 89 and Rt. 430 in PA. It was in the parking lot of the Colt Station Restaurant. When I pulled in it was -35 degrees F. It took me a couple of tries to get the picture focused and then the temperature went up to - 32. So that is what is in the photo. I renamed the restaurant the "Cold" Station Restaurant. LOL. Later.

Only -11 here, not that bad though. My nose hairs didn't even freeze when I walked from the car into work this morning

1*F felt warm this morning without the wind blowing.

Lord - you guys are really being slammed by the snow storms then the cold. Yesterday was the first day in over a couple weeks when its been below freezing in the morning here - it was 29.

I've been hoping for some more snow but not that bitter cold. Been here 33 years and the coldest I can remember is right at -20 F. And I see by the news that there may be another storm on its way either today or tomorrow.

I see pics of guys clearing sidewalks with snowblowers - it looks like they are creating tunnels.

You folks be safe & stay warm.

Well, it has warmed up to a balmy -9 Fahrenheit degrees here in Toronto this morning, but a couple of days ago just north of the city it was -40 with the Wind Chill! Stayed indoors that day.

Yesterday morning when I went out to start the tractor it was a balmy -38F. By the time I had finished blowing the snow it was warmer, -36F. I love my heated cab.
Today it was -2F at 6:30 A.M.

OK after reading this maybe I'll stop complaining about the 0*F forecast for Friday morning here. It will be a record cold by more than 10 degrees, and the lowest local temp in many years, probably 10-15 years.

It was so cold I had to warm my coffee up just to be able to cut it into cubes.

It was so cold the dogs were stuck to the fire hydrants.

It was so cold that the words would freeze in your mouth. One lady kept jabbering so much they had to call the paramedics because she nearly choked to death on her own conversation.

Got down to 50 last night. (That's +50F) Kept thinking there was a window open. Even thought about starting a fire! (In the stove, of course.) By the end of the week the highs should lower to 62 or so. CA weather is so *boring*.

Here in Alabama school started 2 hours late because it was 25 F outside.

Now when I was stationed in Alaska, we got to stay in if it was -60 F and below. That is why the wife said she was moving back to the lower 48. She didn't like having to wear a sweater in the summer to have a picnic.

So cold that yesterday at the hay sale it had warmed up to 0 and it felt kind of balmy.

Cold enough that al gore probably better not come around here.

Local record set here Sun nite at -14F, officially, besting the previous record for date set in 1942.

Neighbor called at 1:00 AM to announce that power was out, welcomed me to visit and sit by wood heater if it got too cold. Grabbed another blanket and snoozed 'til 8:00 AM. By then it was 50 in the house (vs usual 66) so I turned front stove burners on to 'med' and lit a few candles in the shop downstairs. Found/fixed an old radio to catch Diane (Rehm) & Terry (Gross) on battery power. By noon it was up to 1F outside and I held 50^ inside 'til the power came back on at 4:00 PM.

Just another cold day.

We still have not had our usual -40+ temps of previous years. We gotta get at least a week of-40 to -50F to kill off the black fly larva.

Cold enough that al gore probably better not come around here.

Does it really need to be cold for that?
