Brrrrrrr!! Time for temps??
 

So; with the current deep freeze thats hitting us now..how about everybody put down the temps at their location and has it affected them in any adverse way...
Here in the "Wack" with the wind chill we are at about -20c..-11 without.
Windy and we had some power failures..tank at work dropped down to 68F
but everybody survived the drop...
So post your temps and lets see what cold really is.....:lol:

It's damn cold up here. Everymoning, I hope my truck will start. I also lost my gloves and hope to get some for christmas (I hope my wife will read this :mrgreen: )

Otherwise, the real down side of winter here is not the temperature, it's the sun. With only 5h of sunlight, I don't go fishing too much and I'll wait a month of two before to go winter camping.

At this time of the year, the weather outside goes from -30C to -40C without wind chill. With some wind, it can easily get bellow -50C.

Saskatoon's been -30 to -40 lately.

-23 right now and it's supposed to drop to -32 tonight.

-35 in 100 mile hse this morning....

Minus 20s here and with wind chill we have been in the minus 30s. Can't wait for a chinook.

Dang...there are some chilly temps there...where are all the Tobins?I remember Portage and Main area as being chilly too....Oh and The Peg is my home town so although its been 30+ years I remember it getting a little on the frosty side....:biggrin:

Global Warming, my ass!

:lol: Yeah, it's quite cold every where

cold
 

-30 in stony plain now
wind chill -40 tonight

-17 currently in castlegar

-8, but thats not the scarry part, we are about 16 degrees C below our normal temps for this time of the year, and it is only the 5th time in 141 years we are going to have snow for christmas day :mrgreen:

-37 last night. But today it was a pretty balmy -20. :lol:

Haaa true. But over all loving the temps.

hmm.. I just woke up to another 8 to 12" of snow and it is still snowing like crazy. oh well time to go shovel walks.... again... Should have bought a snow blower.

Steve

Your ass is right, there are many theory's and studies that support the affect of colder winters due to global warming. The melting ice up north results in cooler water drifting south which will affect the "meridional overturning circulation" which is basically the exchange of cold and warm currents in the ocean which is believed to be a major driving force on climate.

Right now it's a balmy -16 up in the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range just north of cold Lake, AB. Lastnight and the night before it dipped to -34 without wind chill. I was working 15 mins NE of Maidstone, SK last week and it went as low as -41 without wind chill. I never knew -15 could feel warm!!!

UPS Batteries Work
 

Currently -15 in "Summerland".
It was -19 Friday morning and -21 Saturday morning.

On Friday, while we were both at work, the power went out at 8:30am and did not come on until 4:30. Although we use wood heat without electrical fans to move the warm air around our pipes froze. Got them thawed by midnight.

But...On Wednesday I took the precaution of adding my backup UPS to power the heater and circulation pump. A previous test told me that it would last at least 6 hours and maybe longer. So everyone survived.

Well worth the $300 I spent at Canadian Tire last summer.

Well one good thing about the lower temps in Western Canada is possibly the slowing down of the Mountain Pine Beetle's march East. BC has lost millions of trees to this tiny pest and it is quickly on the move into Alberta and beyond.

I'm in Chilliwack, BC and according to my thermometer outside its currently -4C but I am sure there is a wind chill. Seems to be warming up a bit.

I was lucky and never lost any power during recent storms.

Yeah, that is a good thing. I recently drove from Vancouver to Calgary for the first time in about 5 years and couldn't believe how much the devastation has spread in that short of a time. In some places as far as the eye could see and up to 90% loss. Terrible!

Oh great! Sandy beaches and palm trees in the Arctic, while we get icebergs in the Georgia Strait:lol:

Just got back last night from sunny Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We spent last week in balmy Caribbean tempratures of 68-80 F while enjoying the pool deck of our cruise ship, Celebrity Solstice. Stops in San Juan, St Kitts and St Maarten. Sorry no snorkeling pictures since I couldn't swim very well with my wounded shoulder. Had to stick to the lounging on the beaches while drinking rum concoctions and beer. :drinking::mrgreen: Tried to pack a bunch of the warm air to bring home with us, but I think the airlines lost it. :sad:

-18 is a bit of a shock :eek:

Ahh Ft Lauderdale. Home LOL

Maui is warm @ 21 :biggrin:, which is where I will be in 20 days yipeee!

omg it is gorgous here in Van. 0 degree's but a bit slushy. i honestly don't want to head back home

but why aren't your streets clean?
