What meteorological phenomenon (phenomena) affects you this day ? - Page 812

Some of those minus temperatures are insane; -54F (-65.2C), which means frostbite in 5 to 10 minutes depending on the wind.

The news says that regular motor oil freezes at 15F (-9.4) and antifreeze at −34F (−37C) which now makes sense why I heard that one city made it illegal to be driving.

COLD!!!!!

Down to 5 F - in NC! Windchills down to -10 F! That's frigid for NC!

Slept with 3 cats packed around me for warmth!

Irony - back into the 60's F by Saturday!

That is cold. I don't like the temps and windchill factors we are dealing with but at least it isn't unusual for Canada.

Stay warm Pooh...and remember not to accept any invitations involving pies and/or ovens.

jersysman · 01-07-2014, 11:54 AM

Just dealing with the darn cold! 1 F with 35 MPH winds (wind chill -20 - -30). I didn't sign up for this!!

LOL

My poor car!

cromag · 01-07-2014, 03:16 PM

Yep. Cold. It has warmed up to 7° F.

The windows have become reverse radiators.

jersysman · 01-07-2014, 06:28 PM

Still cold, but it has warmed up to a balmy 10 F. Keep that up and I'll be going out to sunbathe.

meeera · 01-07-2014, 09:36 PM

Warm here, going up to 31 today, and on the weekend 41 and 37 are forecast.

WT Sharpe · 01-07-2014, 11:45 PM

The Weather App on my PC announced this morning that the temps were 18 "feels like 3" degrees Fahrenheit. The morning's headlines in our local paper pretty well summed things up.

poohbear_nc · 01-08-2014, 08:54 AM

12 F actually felt comfortable this morning! After yesterday's 9 F! Fortunately the wind has dropped, reducing the wind chill factor.

Today's temps rising to a balmy 34 F!

cromag · 01-08-2014, 05:03 PM

Yep, we made it to the teens as well, with sun and clouds sharing the sky.

Hamlet53 · 01-09-2014, 11:30 AM

It is expected to get above 0 F today. All the way up to 15 F. We're having a heat wave.

HomeInMyShoes · 01-09-2014, 04:05 PM

A nice normal winter day. -12C right now, with a windchill of -16C.

Feels wonderful.

It turned out that the replacement tail light was behaving exactly as the first one. So I took the bike and both lights to the shop and kept my fingers crossed all afternoon hoping that the dynamo hub wasn't breaking down (this is pricey).
Actually the issue from the beginning was with the front light draining the power. Since I pointed what front light I would like them to put on my bike if the other expenses weren't too high, I came back to the shop to find that light set on my bike. And that didn't cost much.

With the improved front light and at last a working tail one, I was grinning all the time on my way home. It's obvious that the drivers see me better than before and I can ride faster in the unlit places.
All of that was in the drizzle but I didn't care. So much so that because last time they fixed the thing that was wrong with the gears, tonight I went out of my way a little to ride up as many hills as I could. Tiring in the end on a 3-speed urban bike, but exhilarating

Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and not too windy, so I'll go to check the progress on a nearby bike path. I've heard it has improved a lot.

Underlined parts to show that I stick to the thread subject

Up to 36 today, and 44 tomorrow and 39 the day after that. Urk. I'll have to hide inside the whole weekend. Sorry about the cold you Northerners are experiencing.

cromag · 01-09-2014, 11:19 PM

Not too bad today, but we're expecting more freezing rain for tomorrow morning.

Yippee?
