[Fuj]

It's time to tinker....LOL

We have had an unusually warm winter. This morning, it is 10 degrees F, which is about the coldest night we have had this year. We have very little snow in the valley but a substantial snowpack up high. Right now, the sun is just touching the mountain peaks, but it looks cold. There are not too many years where we don't see -20 at least once, but this might be one of them. WH

-27 when I got up. -23 right now and the wind just picked up. 1-2 inches of frost on the inside of the windows. Furnace is still working though so thats good.

NW Montana is unusually mild so far, y”all take care back there and be safe on the roads.
One trick I’ve learned from my -35 temps a couple years ago is adjusting the float level in the toilet tank to a slight trickle.
Nothing worse than waking up to a frozen toilet supply line

Right now by La Crosse WI -18 degrees and wind chill of -30
up in northern wi actual air temp -30 and wind chill -50
Days like this I pray for farmers, frozen pipes tneding to cattle, horses, homeless, vehicles that wont start. people in need.

I'm just South East of you a bit over by Richland Center/Spring Green area. 11:09 am it's -13 with WNW winds at 15 gusting to 25+

Ok I won't complain about 16 degrees at my house this morning. You'all stay warm and safe. I've experienced those temps and they can be dangerous.

We had -20F this morning here in Cochrane, WI. Just for fun, my wife & I went to Dairy Queen. It wasn’t busy…..

I went to the HEB this morning. I think the whole town was there. It was hard to find a cart and the shelves were being stripped.
Now, this “cold front” is only supposed to last 4 days! What are they panicking about?

 

[ar15Jeff]

I had -31 this morning in northern Minnesota. Fired up the snowmobile to see if it would, and then got on it to test some of my cold weather gear and check my trails. Wasn't bad at all but I have a nice tall windshield.

 

[CJ6]

We hit -50 windchill this morning.

Josh.....I ran to the post office today then stopped at the store and picked
myself up some Bing cherry ice cream. Just another normal day for us folks
up here in Erie County Pa.......We are currently at 0 degrees and should be
about minus 10 overnight.

Another Wisconsin resident here. Lived here 61 years and through a lot of cold but apparently now there is going to be massive carnage and disruption and possible death from exploding trees. This has never been a problem until social media keyboard commandos apparently were the first to identify it. Cracking, creaking, moaning, from trees yes I have heard that, but never seen an exploding tree. I am ready though with my battle armor to defeat this apocalypse.

77 YO. Most of that time here behind the cheddar curtain. Raised on a dairy farm. Ho-Hum. Another day of life. The wussification of America . A country boy can survive! I do love spring though.

I lived roughly 60 miles North of where I am now. About 45 minutes South of the Iowa border.

They're flippin' out around here because it'll be maybe -10 and 5"-7" of snow.

That happened multiple times every year where I was.

Drama.

When did the weather forecast become a soap opera?

And so far, I've not seen a flake of snow fall.

I'll deal with it if and when it happens.

Sheeeesh.

It was -21 here this morning with just enough air moving to get the wind chill to the -30's. It warmed up to -8 but the wind picked a bit so the wind chill is -25-ish.

Got back from Physical Therapy about 10:15 and shoveled some wind drifted snow from an older neighbor's driveway before heading to a small musical at a local museum.

Having endured Upstate NY (CNY) for 35 years before moving back to the "gasp" Extreme Weather!!! of Pittsburgh PA I too never heard of an "exploding" tree. But then that was before the "snownado" and the "Snomageddon". Must be Al Gore's global warming has caused an inverse reality.
Anything to make a weekend locked in your Pittsburgh Suburb McMansion into a "cruel, extreme survival experience"! I know this because there was a run on beer, chili makings, windshield washer fluid and cheese dip at walmart today. Cause all those things will help you hold out for a whole weekend of 12 inches of predicted snow and suffering. Sadly, my only concern is that the entirely unreliable power grid here will fail and I have become soft and lazy...I hhave not added a woodstove in my basement. So I am stuck with two inneficient fireplaces and a cord of wood.
And no chili.

Thoughts from Miami! We'll be thinking of you as we 'chill' at the beach. Stay safe.

I do not think we have gotten up to freezing temps yet here in SW Idaho, but just down to the mid-20's.
