Erik, how many days left until the date of the last year February's nightmare? 😉

Igor,
at the end of January last year, the lowest had been -15oC or so and we thought we were done with winter. It was warm and humid then (strong south winds off Gulf of Mexico) and I was outdoors in short shirt.
First two weeks of February brought us our 2nd and 3rd blizzards in city history plus lowest lows ever recorded as arctic air blew south over a thick snow layer.
We then warmed amazingly the 3rd week of February. Rest of 2011 was astonishingly hot (hottest ever summer for any US state, ever, etc.).
So, my plan is to hold my breathe another month. Lowest low of the winter so far is not quite -10cC, which is astonishing warm for us, and nothing that cold in the extended forecast. We'll see. --Erik

new low, -25C in my yard, and -28C at the airport! Windchills at the airport are at -38C, less in my area due to the houses and trees helping to block the wind. Coldest day of the year for sure....

Still puts me in zone 5!!!!!

Jesse- Your weather sticker is showing -20F right now... Bundle up!

They arent too sure if its coming down there or not paul. Id be on your toes!

I think the real cold will hit in February this year... I hope I'm wrong!

Minus 26 C at my place this morning. Tomorrow it might be even colder....

PS, why does it say "smoke" on google earth for your weather????????That many people use wood fires to heat homes??

My town is at the south part of Kazakhstan. So it's better to ask people living upper at the North where the abs. minimum ever registered was minus 53C. 😥

abs. minimum ever registered was minus 53C.

Holy jumpin' jellybeans, that's brutal.
I can't even imagine what twice our recent cold would feel like.

Too close to ice age for me.
One phone call...1-800-Aeroflot.
One way, to anywhere else. 😉

Stay warm and safe, Igor.

I would rather prefer the KLM - nice and safe and comfortable. But my poor babies, I mean palms... 😉

KLM it is then 😆

Your palms are in a good spot adjacent to that wall.

Oh, Barb! Minus 8.2 C last night and minus 5.5 as a day maximum.

Trachycarpus usually laugh at those temperatures.

Can you throw some Christmas lights inside there just in case it gets colder?
