Anyone else having high winds and cold today?

Post by Katy »

My power was knocked out 3 times yesterday and it's been flickering a little already today. It feels like it's 15 to 20 outside. We're getting flurries and supposed to get some accumulation later.

Winds at about 80 kph = 40 to 45 mph...

Slippery roads, with a flash freeze of the roadways. I think I saw Mary Poppins while driving in my car flying about.

No wind, but it's only 38 outside right now and the high is only supposed to be 59. Brrrrrr!

Perfectly still here this morning. We went out for a walk and you could see chimney smoke hanging motionless over the houses that it came from.

39 when we left this morning, should get up to 60 or so. Rain predicted for tomorrow through the weekend.

Colorado: we're in double digit temps for the first time since about Monday. it was -8 when i woke up yesterday. up to a balmy 20 today after a very windy night, clear skies. about 7 inches of snow.

No winds here in Saskatoon today but it's still cold as hell out.

At least it's warmed up since the -40C temps and colder with the wind chill factor that I dealt with early Tuesday morning.

Present temperature in Saskatoon Saskatchewan...

You denizens of the great white north are truly amazing.

That climate is not fit for human survival.

Hell no. If you can survive in these kind of temps for 4-6 months, it makes everything else seem trivial. :wink:

I actually love the cold weather... To me it is better than having a 100 degree with a humidity of 120 in July. Out where Otis is, they curl so they dont have to think about the cold...

Last night I heard the trash cans getting pushed around. Judging by how cold it was this morning, I can only imagine how cold it was last night.

I don't mind high temperatures--it's the humidity that kills me. I'm already looking forward to Spring.
