The wind just woke me from a sound sleep.
Yesterday it was 42 below all day.Very still and stable.

I got out of bed just about 10 minutes ago and looked at the thermometer. It read 28 below.

Ten minutes later it reads.........4 ABOVE !!


I have seen it drop 50 or 60 degrees in an hour but I can't recall seeing a jump like this

Only -12 now. A bit different than the -34 I had yesterday. That's only because there's another storm coming in with snow. Love how crunchy and crisp the snow sounds to walk on. It is still very quiet. That's the advantage of being west of the divide. I dislike wind .

I bet NH has the warmest temp in the country right now ....53 degrees ! .....then going down to 12 tonight “ They “ say.

Wind and rain...but still have power

I remember the winter of ‘88-‘89 in Alaska. I was in Wasilla but it still hit -60. Quite a shock for my new bride who had spent her entire life in Costa Rica!! Another time I was driving a truck up through Watson Lake at -60. Set the throttle to keep it warm while I got a bite to eat. Nope, froze up solid while running. Tried to get it out if gear and the gear shift knob snapped off like brittle wood.

Game camera in a wind tunnel at the bottom of a valley says its cold

January 2005 I spent the night in Tok, AK. It was at least 50 below if not colder.

I got up in the middle of the night to start the truck but the ignition switch wouldn't turn. I had to heat the key with a lighter and insert it. Let it sit and repeat 4 times.Finally the key heated the switch enough to turn. Fortunately I had the block heater plugged in. After that I put a small catalytic heater in the cab and ran a cord through the wind wing. That solved the cold switch problem

Could you guys tell me what a frozen fart looks like?

Usually all lumpy... various shades of brown.

Thanks I guess I did ask.

Windchills are about -40 to -45 here now. I think the actual temp is -10. Gusts to nearly 50 mph

Probably a lot like this.

After reading all of this, I’m yearning for Spring.

Wind..rain..now snow

Lost power from 5-8 pm

But that's the quickest repair time I've evah seen !

3° in Asheville NC 8pm Friday.

36 below here this morning with a stiff breeze. Warmed up to 12 below by noon. Skinny dipping weather!

Here it most be staying cold for a while as they are spraying that quarter panel removal sauce all over the roads

Not sure how cold it got last night, but neighbor told me his wind gauge had gusts of wind up to 38 mph at -5 which would equal... -35. I live in the middle of town and I had deer tracks all over my back yard. It appeared to have been 3 deer. At one point it appears they had laid down next to my shed, which would have broken the wind. The set of tracks were really large so figure from tracks, it was a buck, doe, and yearling deer.

Garry-

Finding small birds that froze in the blizzard seen 4 today so far I doubt if those released birds will see spring. Since the flu got my birds again that feed is going to the wild birds along with what the wife feeds them.

Drifts are so hard I can walk on them with the fine blowing snow we had in the 45 MPH winds.

Digging out I-90 Kadoka

It was 43 degrees with a 2-3 mph wind here this morning...in my living room. This old farmhouse has seen stuff colder than this and heated fine but it is not sealed good enough for 45 mph winds. Slowly gaining ground, currently up to 50!
