I walked from home to the school, we have some basketball games today. It's a beautiful -34 here this morning, sure woke me up. It's about one kilometer and I had just made a hot chocolate by time I got here it had ice in it. I need to buy some winter boots, sneakers aren't really that warm

[WalterB]

Sneakers? Julie, get some snow boots. If you were to slip and fall and have trouble getting up, your feet will be the first to freeze. Then, you're guaranteed not to go any further. (And your team of aspiring NBA players will lose!) C'mon, girl. You're smarter than that. ArcticExplorer

-34C in Canada ... 40C in Australia. The variety of temperatures keeps amazing me.

Dutch nights will be around -8C for a whole week and during the day it'll be around -1C. And I heard some snow is heading my way again.

[h0rnytoad1]

yeah i think she's pulling your leg there walt, lol

btw Gert-jan its +3c in the eastern side of canada, -34 is just in the windy prairies

[vectis]

SNOW we don't do snow here ,it's the Isle of Wight not the Isle of White,we have about 3 inches at the moment and it's still falling.
Our last serious snowfall was in 1981,we just aren't
prepared for it,we are the sunshine island (alright last year the rainy island was more appropriate).
Mind you that may come in handy as rain is forecast for Sunday so the snow may not last. The schools are closed for the day and I think most of the workforce will have a day off ,island roads aren't the best in the country anyway and with snow on the steep hills wil be a hazard for local drivers.
I don't expect much sympathy from North America but your used to it.lol

[WalterB]

Awwww, poor Vectis. <-----(sympathy from Walt.)

[hotjulie]

Awwww Vectis I feel sorry for you, it's snowing here too and -18. Good news it's gonna clear up, but it's also going down to -44 tonight thats nearly -50F.

[WalterB]

I endured -50F once in Fairbanks, Alaska. My car wasn't prepared sufficiently, and when I tried to drive home, the radiator froze up. Cost me near $200 to get it towed, thawed out and refilled with proper coolant.

[TheShaft]

Years ago when a nasty cold wave hit Seattle (no higher than 5 degrees F during the day) we went skiing up in the mountains. it was -20 F at the base and I'm not sure how cold it was at the top but I do know that the wind chill was -100 F up there. Chairlifts often stalled, stranding the skiers in the cold stiff wind, me included. The snow was so dry that it was like skiing on sandpaper. I had a bad case of frostbite on my left ear. It swelled and became blue and hard. I suffered for a week but I didn't lose my ear.

[scottb]

It's fucking cold in Wisconsin. The temperature is gonna dip below 0 degrees tonight with minus 15 to minus 20 degree wind chills through tomorrow. Stay warm everybody!!

[h0rnytoad1]

-13c right now, windchill -19c

gonna go down to -24c during the nite.

its gonna get worst before it gets better !

[hotjulie]

I'm not sure how cold it was last night I was told -47C, but I did see a 8 moose huddled around a fire drinking hot chocolate! It warmed up to around -25

[WalterB]

Lol, You've got some personable moose up there, Julie. I'm not gonna tell y'all what my temps are here. I'd be embarrassed.
