knighthawk Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 I think it got down under 10 here last nite, only was into 20's today, one more day like this, then it's slowly warming up (50's) Quote
anthonyb Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Topped out at 77 yesterday and dropped from there to about 28 early this afternoon. Supposed to be in the mid 70's again by the end of the week. Gotta love this Texas weather. Quote
knighthawk Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 It's time like this, I really wish I still lived in Texas ! Quote
Dennis Hemingway Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 I know that it is not much to you guys up North, but here in the Middle of the Mojave Desert it is. The temp is in the 30's & it is snowing. All roads in & out of the area are closed. Dennis:eek: Our Back Yard Front Yard and it is still snowing. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 They closed the roads for that? I had to clear a good 4" our of my driveway this morning and nowone even thought about closing anything. They're saying this is just a teaser for what's coming tomorrow night. Merle Quote
PatS.... Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Well, seeing snow in the Mojave Desert makes our crappy weather seem not so bad...it happens every year like clockwork. Probably no so much in the Desert!! Looks like most of North America has this system dumping on it. Oh well, Hot Toddy time... My front yard looking south across the street to the neighbors Taurus yesterday. Another 4-5 inches fell today, same for tomorrow. At least it gets sunny for a while...cold as heck, but sunny Quote
knighthawk Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 dammmmm cold here in Kansas today (and tommorrow ) was 9 degrees this morning , high of 17, then about 7 tonite............but into the 50's Saturday....... I know I've away from the upper midwest for a while, but still, it's hard to believe I (we) used to live in it , work outside in it , play in it, and even look forward to the cold, cuz the colder it got , the better snowmobiles would run better ! Had to have been in a 'another lifetime ' !!!!!!! Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Here in MO......temp at about 8 am today was 9. Last I heard, it was up to 11. Maybe down to 7 tonite. A tad warmer for the weekend. No snow...just cold. Last year we had some snow and ice storms. The old saying still applies about MO weather: if you don't like what we have right now, just wait, it'll change. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 still -14 here. yeah. between -30 and -50 with the wind. tonight is another -20 or so night. supposed to get to 6 tomorrow. woohoo Quote
RobertKB Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Supposed to be about 7C or 42F here in Alberta. We don't mind sending you the Alberta Clippers but we want to keep the warmer weather to ourselves. It seems like the eastern and south-eastern United States got our latest clipper. Hope you are enjoying! Quote
Merle Coggins Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Could be worse... I just got these in an email. Got a good chuckle out of them. Quote
PatS.... Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Forecast says some warm California air will take us into the 60's for a few days, 50 today. Just a week ago it was 25 below. So...we get the warm California air and the east gets our frigid air...seems like a good trade to ME!!!!! Quote
Dennis Hemingway Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 So...we get the warm California air and the east gets our frigid air...seems like a good trade to ME!!!!! Only if you don't try to give us your COLD weather. It's in the 70's right now. Dennis;) Quote
Niel Hoback Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 As I type, its ten below zero here in northwest Indiana. I think I smell Canadian bacon. Quote
55 Fargo Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Posted January 16, 2009 As I type, its ten below zero here in northwest Indiana. I think I smell Canadian bacon. Nah, at -10 we eat porridge and drink slurpees for breakfast, we save the back bacon for -40 with a shot of Crown on the side..........Fred Quote
Niel Hoback Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 It has dropped to -16 since my last post. According to the channel 9 weatherman, it is 45 degrees in Anchorage. Whats wrong with this picture? Quote

Fireball Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 -12 F here (-25 c) and I hate it. My pal has his bachelor party tomorrow. We will take him into iced river, drill a large hole and he gets the pleasure to swim in it. And i'm not kidding. I'll post a pic later if i only remember to shoot one Quote

Quote
Merle Coggins Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 There's a Polar Bear club around Milwaukee that does their annual "Plunge" into Lake Michigan every New Year's Day. I think they're all NUTS!!!!!!!!!! I understand that the water temp if warmer than the air temp... but STILL!!!!! Merle Quote
Young Ed Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Well its officially cold now. Last night tried to get some cold water out of the kitchen sink. No matter where I turned it it only came out warm. WTH I says to myself. Then I realized the issue-the pipe froze. I used to have this issue when I first bought the house but not for a few years since I put 2in of foam insulation under the overhang. Tonight if its still froze I'll have to attack it with some heat. Quote

Tonight if its still froze I'll have to attack it with some heat. Ed I have about an 18 inch over hang on the floors of my house too, it is a bi-level. My house was built in 1990, so it is well insulated, but when it's real cold this overhang on the floor is cool, so next summer, will remove the plywood cladding under there and add more foam, and vaporbarrier, hopefully that will resolve the problems.........Fred ps still smile when I think this thread still lives, look at the response and view numbers, unreal Quote
Young Ed Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 The neighbor who's house is the same design as mine inside doesnt have this problem at all. His overhang has a planter in front of it and has durt up to the bottom of the house. My house has a deck in the same place and therefore just has air under there. Before I did the foam the pipe froze constantly. There was nothing but wood under there before. Quote
RobertKB Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 50F here today and snow is going fast. Same for the next few days. I am beginning to think I just might get my '48 out for a run in the next week. I would never have even vaguely thought that a week ago. This is one of our famous Chinooks. Quote
