Oh, that's just festive...

Tonight's low? 18°F

Tomorrow's high? 18°F

How does that work? I blame Canada.

It's 50 %$#@*ing degrees here in Vancouver-
They just changed the sport designations for two of the Winter Olympic events- From Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding to Waterskiing and Wakeboarding.

We needs us some cold, and we needs it NOW!

Cheers-

I thought about moving to Texas once, but y'all's CCW laws are too restrictive. :) I do miss the Big Bend country, though!; 7:21 PM, January 27, 2010

loren said...: 90's here in Perth. 90's yesterday, 90's tomorrow and most likely for the next few months.
Just had to rub it in a little.; 7:41 PM, January 27, 2010

Rev. Paul said...: Today's forecast for Anchorage: high 23, low tonight 21. Current temp: 23.

I'd blame Canada, too, but there's nothing north of us except the Arctic Ocean. Must be W's fault.; 8:18 PM, January 27, 2010

Blackwing1 said...: You ever try to tuck into your waistband a stainless .45 in an IWB that's been soaking in the cold in your truck-safe for the workday at -5F?

That's CCW in Minnesnowta when your workplace bans self-defense.

That thing gets COLD.; 9:22 PM, January 27, 2010
Matt said...: Here in Northern Kentucky it's got quite the chill on and it's snowing.

An hour ago I had green grass. Now, I have a moderate dusting of snow, and the car is covered.

Having just moved up here from Texas about 4 months ago, this is going to take some getting used to.; 10:40 PM, January 27, 2010
Will said...: Blackwing1,
maybe an insulated box, with a heating element(light bulb-turn signal/backup type). Might have to set up a secondary battery depending on how long it has to sit.; 2:27 AM, January 28, 2010
DJ said...: Tam, that does suck.

We did it for three or four days in a row (high one day is the next day's low, or close to it). Here's what it was like here in Fargo on 23-26 January:

23rd - high 36, low 33
24th - high 34, low 22
25th - high 22, low 1
26th - high 7 (crept up a bit), low -9.

Could be worse, eh?; 4:58 AM, January 28, 2010

One of the high points of my life was taking #2 Son to Niagara Falls, and he sang this at the top of his lungs as we walked past all the Canadian "Friendship Bridge" flags ...; 8:17 AM, January 28, 2010

Jack said...: Minus 18°F here in sunny Saskatchewan this morning and it's headed your way. BTW, I highly recommend reading the Kuhnhausen S&W book before you reach for a screwdriver.; 6:01 PM, January 28, 2010
