BRUTAL COLD, with only an inch of snow on the ground.

Barely into winter and we've already seen...felt...2 arctic blasts.

Our normal High/Low = 3C and -5C.
Last year = 7C and -1C

Today it's -8C and -17C :lickice:

And still getting colder.

Global warming where the hell are you? 😕
(whine, whine, sniff sniff) 😆

EDIT: Windchill -25C -13F

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

At least you have an inch of snow. I only got a dusting of snow at my place.

Jay, did you throw a cover on your y.rostratas?
I'm worried about mine with the lows forecast Thursday and Friday

My big potted Yucca rostrata is outside, albeit under cover and snugged up against a window. Dry. How cold before it will have a problem in a pot? The lowest forecast for the next few days is -14 oC at the nearest airport; should be warmer here in town plus up against (single pane) window.

Sheesh... -24C 😯 I hope it don't get that cold Barb. That's still pretty early in the season for that. I'd hate to think what temps would be experienced at higher altitudes.

Yup Andy that's the f/cast for end of this week.
Absolutely brutal cold with strong winds.

Somebody said this is "as cold as 1985"...whatever that was like.
I must've had more beer that year.
Don't remember it. 😉 😆

Sheesh... -24C 😯 I hope it don't get that cold Barb. That's still pretty early in the season for that. I'd hate to think what temps would be experienced at higher altitudes.

Andy, our lowest in November is minus 34.8C by the way.
Jay, Barb, Aaron sorry for this cold. Jim, take care, yours in it's way!
By the way you, NorthAmericans, have pretty mild winters comparing mine. So everything is gonna be alright!

Eeeeeuuuuwwww, awful.
Damn Omega blocks, nothing's moving away at any speed.
Just getting colder and colder.
The dog doesn't even want to go out for a pee. 🙄

Thank God for the woodstove.

Igor's weather sticker shows 0 oC at the moment;

And then back up to 24C 😆

Everybody stay warm and safe with what's still ahead.
