We in Texas can't compare to you in the North, but we're going to be in single digits next week which will wreak havoc with our pipes etc.

I remember single digits in East Texas; I'll take subzero weather here in Idaho anytime over that humid misery.
But not 60 below. That's not fit for man or beast.

Steve: It is a "balmy" -21 degrees (twenty one degrees below ZERO!) here in SW Montana right now (1-12-2,024)!
That temperature WILL get your attention.
For imbeciles like scumload, that temperature is 53 (fifty three!) degrees COLDER than just plain freezing!
I think I will "stay in" today.

My daughter who lives in Calgary just texted me. 30 below right now with a wind chill of 49 below. Supposed to get colder this evening. She has a brisk 15 minute walk to work. Rather her than me

Like I mentioned earlier had to drive the wife into St. George yesterday. There was snow all the way into town.
Slickest spot on the whole trip was in the dentist's parking lot. Almost slid into another parked car as I was pulling out as the lot was a skating ring.

I was starting to like this global warming until this week.
-14 this morning with a Real Feel of -38. I don't know what this "Real Feel", "Wind Chill" and "Heat Index" stuff is all about. I think it was invented for bragging rights. Cold is cold and hot is hot - nuff said.

Cold is cold and hot is hot - nuff said. All that [bleep] is just for media sensationalism. The sheep eat that [bleep] up. I knew they had the masses when some guy emailed the news station/weatherman and asked "if it's 38 degrees and I put a glass of water on the roof of my car, how fast do I have to drive before it freezes?"

Woke up to a -5 F, Now @ -10 F with a pretty stiff breeze! I’m glad to see you Montana boys sharing your weather with us! 😂 Not a good time to go outside in cut-offs! 😉 memtb

-25 and dropping. They canceled school and I expect they will be canceling the hockey tournament because it is too cold to skate.
Calling for -43 tonight so - 50 with wind chill.
I elected to not go ice fishing or to fly to the west coast to shoot shotgun because driving to the airport several hours away seems unwise, and I am now officially old enough to know better.

I'm not a fan of hydraulics below zero. Took me 10 minutes to get the tracks on the excavator moving last week, and that was after letting the machine warm up for 20 minutes. Cold is hard on equipment. I suppose we could change hydraulic oil to winter viscosity, but that seems like a big to-do.
What we need is a nice big insulated barn so we can park stuff inside!

Sister in law texted this morning, waiting for the car to warm up to go to work... -33 deg f.
But... she lives at 70 Mile House BC....serves her right.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Some are inside, mostly the little stuff, but the majority are still outside. Fortunately, we have so much warm spring flow that everything stays above 75 degrees, even in sub zero weather. Everything is nice and toasty..... except my toes. I dream of building a 30,000 square foot building (or two), and just change into shorts and sandals when I go to work in January! Unfortunately, I seem to be a little short of cash until payday.....
