Cold Weather

[nmedge]

A few years ago it got so cold here in southern new mexico not only did we have snow we also had our natural gas pipeline from el paso texas shut down!! That was a really cold 3 days! Never had that happen to me ever, not even in alaska! Several houses here flooded out because of broken pipes. At least we had electricity!

20 below when I got up this morning.....don't know how cold it was outside! At least we haven't gotten much snow, but what we got is supposed to start blowing around making travel a bit dicey.

32 now, supposed to warm up to 66. I think I'll stay inside for a few hours.

 

[Blackfeather]

It is forecast to be up to about 50 around midnight tonight, and then drop rapidly to about 20 in just 15 minutes as the cold front passes by, we may end up in single digits by Friday morning with wind chills below zero.

29 here currently dropping to -3 by the evening. Storm is an hour away. They just released us from work. So a quick stop for smokes and salt for the water softener and I’m done until Tuesday.

Got my first 6.5 CM built for me in 2010 by Little Crow Gun Works in Spicer. They were the only place in MN & WI that had a 6.5 CM reamer. Had a M700 action and selected & acquired all the components and drove down to deliver to them to put it together, then another trip down to pick it up.

An interesting part of MN.

-27 here last night, still at -19 and will stay in the -teens all day. -22 tonight then into +singles/teens tomorrow.

Won't get to 32 until next Tuesday. Only 2.5 months to go.

The NWS corrected their '15 minutes' typo with a more reasonable 5 to 6 hours for the temperature to drop that much.

Right now at 9:19 it is 0 degrees F. with a wind chill of -21. At least it has stopped snowing.

 

[Bassbob]

It's currently -4 here. By next Thursday it will be 60.

Pretty unimpressed by the media over this one. 5-6"new snow (BFD), woke up to -13F this morning. As if we don't see this every year, year after year. But it's the end of the world according to the news. I never cease to be amazed by how stupid "they" think we are. And yes the wind is now blowing 10-20mph, may get stronger later today. Talk about chicken little.

 

[Blackfeather]

The front hit us at about 2:30 when it was about 49 ... it's 30 and falling down to about 8 this time tomorrow.

When it gets cold like that you get house fires and asphyxiations from people trying to heat with grills

Louisville Kentucky is right now at (-8) below zero with wind chill at (-30) below.

Crazy cold.

My 2 dogos went out and literally relieved themselves on the sidewalk and usually they like being outside...

I have an indoor/outdoor cat who lives in my spare house next door. Normally we let him out in the morning, back in around noon for a nappy, out again around 2 PM and in at dark. Poor little guy will be staying in the house for the next 3 days.

On the bright side my wife can put her bird feeders back at for a couple days.
