-28 in big falls and - 33 in I falls,keeping the riff-raff off the streets.

Side benefit of this "global warming".
NAPA goes into semi-hibernation

I'd guess low single digit here. Miss my long johns

Its about 5 F with a -10 wind chill here this morning.

This Siberian Express needs to take its ass back to Russia.

Russia should only be allowed to send us good vodka and hot women.

-24F right now

meanwhile supposed to be damn near 40 here today in the frozen north

- 7º here. To listen to the news you would think it never got cold here before.

Ernie

It's -7 here right now

-18F here right now..

Could be worse...and it was, last year...

That's great news, means we might see 20 by middle of next week!

We're up to -5 already. Light wind. Looks like a nice day shaping up.

+24, I am lovin' it!

(hopefully March cooperates...)

Same here, +24

OM3, that's kinda strange!



Of course this is all man-made climate change, sorry about the global cooling, I'll tell the cows to fart a little more today.....

Yet another 44°F morning in northern Utah. No ice on any local lake. Darn little snow left on the mountains. Have already seen a few wildfires.

My prediction that the Siberian lows will finally shift and bring the western half of the US some winter is rapidly becoming less a prediction than a fervent hope - edging to desperation.

Us southern folks would appreeeeciate that!

The dead of winter.

They used to say, if you want a short winter, borrow some money due the first of March.

Bottomed out at -32 I falls -33 Embarrass-41,no riots in streets.

Gotta' head down to the weekly Farmer's Market directly, Jim.
Trying to decide which light cotton shirt to wear's a beotch.

I was working outside yesterday in shirt sleeves and 60F. This is really a weird winter, if you can even call it winter. This warm is not normal.

-40 is minus 40--don't matter what scale you use.
Called the boys in off the job--chip quality goes way down and can't cut tree lenghth--Jackpine breaks like a cheap icicle. Machinery breaking right and left. Hydralic hoses splitting and gonna break the boom on the log loader if not careful.

If it would just warm up to -30 we could get a lot of wood outta the swamps.

I don't know why you keep saying it's coming from Siberia. It's coming right out of Canada. -30ºC this morning and looking to be even colder on the weekend.

At least we don't have the snow that we did last year.

41 here in the Frozen North this a.m., with frezzing rain....

With temperatures around the frezzing mark for the rest of the week.

and what color shorts

Look at the global pattern, Grouseman. When the lows in Siberia are in the east, the jet stream is pushed up into the Arctic before plunging down through mid-Canada and thence into mid-USA.

The normal oscillation of that Siberian low moves it a thousand miles east and west. When it's towards the west, the storm track also shifts west, bringing winter storms down from the Aleutians right down the west coast and through the Rockies.

This year, the damn thing has been "stuck" to the east, near the Kamchatka peninsula. So all the storms have tracked to OUR east, as well.

-22F here this AM with some areas even a bit lower. Local forecasters are predicting that we could break some record lows overnight.

I sent one of my plumbers to a new construction site this AM, but it was just too cold for the materials. Too much risk of splitting and cracking.

I posted this water problem in it's own post.... starting to wonder if it could be related to ....

no, it's just bad water.

I require federal assistance, this is one of those.... how do they say down in nawlings? "disaster"?

Obama, give me money to fix my bad water!

8 degee's at this moment in time here in East TN

Well we got another 8 inches of snow coming by the week end, here in CT- last night lows was around zero, in East Haddam, tonight down to 5 below and with the wind chill down to the mid minus 20's! Its on track to be the coldest and the most snow in February since they been keeping records! I got over 3 feet of snow on my property right now, I expect that there will be another foot added to that before spring breaks and we start to see a warming trend!

OIDabble: Its +53 here in SW Montana now and its not even to the "hot" part of the day yet!
Hope you will fare well.
Be careful.
Hold into the wind

It has topped out at 2 degrees I think.
I shot a squirrel at my bird feeder this
morning my gloves had to come off to skin him and clean him. It will be awhile before I will want to do that again.

We've got yo-yo weather. Minus 14 at 7AM then warmed to 14 by now (3PM). Forecast high 32 tomorrow, -2 for Sunday, then 24 for Monday.

Harbinger of spring when patterns here start shifting like that. For North America the patterns have been unusual this year but hoping the yo-yo-ing still foretells spring.

time to put the short sleeve shirts away and break out a light jacket it would seem.

enjoy the balmy temps

There still would be some Fairbanks teenagers wearing shorts though. At least mine weren't that stupid.

Pffffffft................. -25F is when a Polaris engine starts smoothing out.

Jan 31, 2013 a buddy called with a desire to head out for some steelhead fly angling on New Years days. It was -32F and it felt much warmer if one stayed chest deep in the river fighting off rig-sized ice paddies.

We did not catch anything.

With my first exposure to the NW in the mid 60's, I saw people wading the Skagit River in Wa with snow over the entire landscape in December. I speculated at the time that they must be crazy and nothing was worth that experience. I've now confirmed that.

This year we are having absolute beach weather here in the PNW. I really wish it would snow and rain.

Damn weather sucks. I got a bit of sunburn yesterday here in La Mirada, CA.

I know what you're saying. I had to change into shorts and a T-shirt by 1:00 PM today here in northern NV. Fortunately about 6-7 cottontails are keeping the grass mowed.

It's been the warmest winter on record so far here, and one of the driest. I wish you eastern guys could ship a bunch of that snow out west.
