Yet another Alaskan deep freeze coming. Snowed and then melted today.It`s going to be down to -14c 8 f at the airport on Sunday morning. Keep that cold up north! ENOUGH of this crap.

We'd better not look ahead to Thursday, John.
The newspaper predicted a low of -24 C.

I hope it's a typo.

If that were the case we would be setting huge low records for early March. I think a lot of people are giving a collective yawn to global warming. Last year at this time I had some of my plants out and friends asking me to play golf. I guess this summer is going to be extra hot to make up for this blip in our usual springtime weather.

We got that Alaska freeze starting last night. It went from 2*C to -24*C overnight. We only got about 2" of snow but the winds are about 30 K gusting to 70 K. We are drifted in again and have wind chills pushing -40*C.

It is just too cold to go out and shovel. Hopefully it will be calmer tomorrow. Chris is just beginning to recover and I am just starting to get sick again. I don't think that both of us have been healthy at the same time for more than a few days since Christmas.

Wicked stuff guys but not long to go,got a chance to take out the heating on all the palms and rake some mulch with temps in the 60s and low 70s/-/Low 30s for highs Wed-Thurs and back to 50 by the weekend,so, nothing I can't handle after this winter,heres to hoping for a mild/warm April as March takes us out of winter.
You might be on to something John,as far as a warm summer goes/not long to go now,hang in there guys & gals 8)

We've got a high predicted of -3C on Wednesday, but, other then that every day should be above freezing... Overnight lows may drop below -10C though. Still after the long freeze anything above freezing feels warm!

"Still after the long freeze anything above freezing feels warm!"
I hear ya!

"Still after the long freeze anything above freezing feels warm!"
I hear ya!

And out here anything above -10 feels warm.

A the risk of sounding like a broken record, old man winter has settled in again here for a couple of days. Unseasonably cold weather of 25°F (-4°C) overnight and only 38°F (4°C) during the day. It has all the feel of a January cold snap, but it's MARCH. The only plus side is it's sunny and inside the coldframe, daytime temps are a comfortable 70°F (21°C).
We're told it will break by late in the week but I believe with firmly entrenched cold in Alaska and Yukon, old man winter ain't done yet.

Cheers, Barrie.

I was outside today. It was sunny, calm and -24*C. It felt so nice that I was tempted to unzip my parka--but I didn't.

Well I obviuosly have no room to complain ... -24°C (-11°F) is well beyond my experience of cold. Good luck with that.
Cheers, Barrie.

We set a new record for temperature change in 24 hours today. From -29*C to 3*C a total of 32*C/58*F change in 1 day. This does not include wind chill calculations which would have added another 10*C/18*F.

When I went out to bring in the garbage garbage cans this morning i wore a T shirt, jeans and Crocs. Quite a change from parka, tuque, gloves and winter boots that I was wearing yesterday morning when I took out the garbage cans.

I am hoping that this was the last cold spell this winter.

Allen

Been fairly nice here over the past 4 days or so. Temps in the mid to upper 60's (18°C -19°C) That's about to change for the coming weekend with some rain in the forecast and cooler temps.

Cheers, Barrie.

It was 22.4c 70+ f today. It`s finally nice to see some regular spring weather here. All of my potted palms have been out for the last week. If the cousin of old man winter shows up I`ll have to spend a least another 2 hours putting them all back.
NOT!!!

John

It's still too cold to put anything out but it got up to 13*C/55*F yesterday and only down to -1*C last night.

Unfortunately it is still too wet to walk in the yard and the garbage and dog shit from last winter will have to remain an eyesore for a few more days.
