60 degrees F, boy it's cold!

Brrrr

64 here now...was in the 70's.

Last week we had lows in the 20's.

[censored] global warming <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm......
In some places right now, that would be a very welcome temperature. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ice in the morning, sweating in the afternoon. Desert living at it's best.

Same here. The cold is coming back first of the week.

Isn't it real chilly in Vegas ? Cold and wet here.

Lived in Vegas for awhile, definitely colder than here(Palm Springs area). Then again, not as hot as our summers of 120+ degrees(140 in postal vehicle).

You're whining about 60 Fahrenheit...? Huh, LOL! It's -18 Celsius where I am right now, that converts to -0.4 Fahrenheit.... Wanna trade? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You mean the temp can go below zero? That's crazy talk.

i havent seen the sun or stars in 7 days here in east tennessee. i feel like i live in the suicide capital of the United States - Seattle. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I drove through Seattle on my way to Vancouver this last thanksgiving and I can see why it's the capital. No offense but those people were a little out there, very few smiles. However, I do love coffee, and theirs was very very good. Go fig.

Well it is 32C here which translates into 92F. So far the summer has been a bit cold.

What do you know...the temperature has warmed up a bit! This is the info for the current temperature where I am now; kinda warm by Canadian standards. I was even kind enough to put it into Fahrenheit for you Yanks! LOL!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



You'll notice where it says it FEELS like -13 Fahrenheit???

Hahaha great post. Here in bakersfield its gotten into the 30's well at night. It got way cold last night. I couldent even sleep and i had sweats a hoodie and doubled up socks on. My apartment is old and very poorly insulated.

I hate all these no burn restrictions i have a fire place and plenty of wood and can't even use it to keep warm. Oh well.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

-7 F here
Not too much fun, although it could be worse
-20 F in Yellowknife North West Territories (Canadian Arctic) right now.
-29 in Fort McMurray, Alberta

It's cold everywhere. Here in northern CA we had 8" snow up on Mt. Hamilton earlier this week and it's only a short 20 minute drive from San Jose. It's gonna be 34F tonight which does not compare to our northern dogs weather but is pretty cool for us.

It's -36 Fahrenheit right now as I post this. I am not to far from high level Alberta.
Last year it had gotten so cold here that my tires froze in the shape that I had parked, for the first few minutes driving to work it was like driving with square tires. It gets as cold as -60F here at times. You southerners don't know what cold is.

Temperature plummeted to around 80F here,i had to put a T shirt on today,[censored] this global warming,cooling thingamywhatsit,screwing up the summer.

82 deg here today. BBQ time!

It's pretty easy to separate the huskies from the chihuahuas when members start talking about 60F being cold. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

(current temperature here is 10.1F... we got about 6 inches of snow last night, and it's still snowing at the moment)

63F here this morning.

Of course I did used to live in Syracuse,NY...so I *am* accustomed to a bit of cold weather; I just haven't seen much this year.

-60 i can't even imagine living in weather like that. I bow down to you my friend.

YEAH!!!!
You know it's cold when your tires freeze flat like that!!!
Happened to me in Prince George BC one time. Was -50 F overnight and when
I went to drive in the morning, it was like driving on blocks, rotating blocks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

KN, have you ever had to UNTHAW your vehicle engine with a Tiger torch????
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I have <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Took almost a full 25lb tank of Propane before the oil was thawed out enough to
allow the engine to start turning over <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I walked 2 miles to high school once in -53F. Got to the school, and it was
closed because the water pipes burst. Had to turn around and walk back home.
When my friend and I got to my place, my mom offered us a hot chocolate. By the time
the HC was ready, my friends nose had thawed and the blood vessels in his nose
burst. Had to take him to the hospital. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

The funny thing is that 2 years ago, my cousin who lives there still, was out
playing golf at Christmas time. The grass was still growing...
CRAZY <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

dotd thats insane...its stories like that that make me feel good about living in hawaii. sure the price of everything is expensive and you cant order certain items (eg camping stoves, esbit tabs) but anything below 10 and im in a poor mood. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Got room for me and the wife????? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I wish that I was exaggerating with those stories, but I'm not.
My best all time winter story dealt with a move.
I was living in Prince George (the -53F place), and was moving to Kamloops (the
town that I live in now). Kamloops is about 300 miles south of Prince George.
The night before I was supposed to move it started to snow. By the morning, it had dropped 3 feet
of snow. Took me 3 hrs to dig out the driveway. About noon, I was able to get
on the highway.
By the time I had travelled 70 miles, I was in whiteout / blizzard conditions.
The only way that I knew where I was, was that I was following a transport truck.
If he would have driven off the road, I would have happily followed.
Conditions cleared up after 50 miles or so, and by the time I got to Kamloops
I was surprised to see that they only had a 1/2 inch of snow on the ground, and it was
so warm that I was walking around in my shirtsleeves.
Phoned my grandmother in Prince George to let her know that I was ok.
It had dropped another 3 feet of snow during the day, so they had a little over 6 feet in one day.

That was the late 70's, though and lots has changed since then.

Cheers.

Worked outside all day in 23F. Nothing compared to you Canadian fellows, but still cold for my taste.

i can't tell if he's joking.

that's perfect motorcycle temperature so as of a season ago, it deposed 70 as my favorite weather.

plenty of snow and ice here in NJ.

Here we were at -22C (-8F) with a Wind Chill Warning in effect.
Tomorrow I'm going to take a picture of the snow bank in front of my place
and post it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

On Friday, my boss got fed up with winter, went out and put insurance on his
motorcycle. Now, you have to picture this, we have a whole chunk of snow,
and he wants to go riding.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

It is not all that cold out here, but this is what I did yesterday.

A small quinzee.







Me halfway through the day.



I love the cold. I am heading out backpacking in the UP later this week. I can't wait! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

B

That is soooo cool.
I actually love winter weather as well. If I get a chance this coming week,
or over Christmas, I'm going to make one of those quinzee's.

Oh, and the best thing about Winter??? NO BUGS <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I use a block heater and use 5/30 engine oil never had a problem no matter what temp was, oil pressure comes right up. The only time I have ever had any problems was when I would forget to plug in my block heater.

Exploding noses, blizzards, igloos/quinzee's...It's like fantasy fiction! Or better yet, sci-fi stories of distant planets and crazy yeti-like creatures. Our bugs die to lack of water (One day of rain a year.) Chihuahua's get pampered by cute californian girls...

Pitbulls sleep on the couch.

57 F and raining tonight.

Ouch! On a happy note, you're almost to pooch. I'm trying to break the record for most posts in a single sitting.

Heh. Good luck with that.

Wow, you move quick. This almost feels like a race.

Does it?

Ah! Your surpassing me!

Keep posting guys - you'll get there! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sooner or later...

Hehe I wish I had pictures of me riding my motorcycle in so much snow my friend had to push me up the driveway. It was a street and trail of course. I put the sportbikes away when it starts snowing, but I definitely remember speeding home at 110mph one day because it was starting to flurry and I needed to put the bike away before I got stranded.

My boss got a KTM 990 Adventure R over the summer. Rode it everywhere.
Insurance ran out in November, but since Friday was a sunny -22C with about
1/2 foot of snow on the ground, he went and re-insured it so that he could
ride over Christmas <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Here's a link for the new KTM offering
http://www.ktm-x-bow.com/

Cheers

Hehe...problem was that I did have the block heater plugged in.
However, I was running 10/30 weight oil. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Cheers

It is going to be a lovely 4 degrees F here today... Personally, I can't wait for spring...

Ok,
I promised to post a couple of pics.
So here are just a couple.
My Truck with a bit of overnight snow.


My Driveway shovel pile (and yes, my mutt did some "artwork")


A couple of random around my tent trailer

Tikigod,

That's about where we are today here in the British Columbia interior.
Personally, I like winter. "NO BUGS"
However, I've discovered that I equally like Fall and Spring <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Just don't like the heat of Summer.

Cheers

It's 1 degree here right now and very windy. Tonight is supposed to be -4 and -35 mph wind chill...brrrr....

Getting down to 19 tonight, and a high of 38 tomorrow.

That's the coldest it's been in almost 2 weeks. Maybe winter is coming afterall?

Nope...back into the 60's Wed.

We never get snow on Christmas...

Crazy storm here tonight, can hardly see across the street. We're just getting ready to take my buddy's truck into the woods to try out the new tires!

No snow here in N. WV but it's 14 degrees and -10 with the wind chill. That's cold

Cazio

Reached a high of 63f today, a little better. Should be hittin the 70's by tuesday! Woohoo!!

it was near 70 last week & 40 tonight


i prefer the current temps

it should never be 70 for christmas

Cool thing for us is Christmas is just a 15 min tram ride to snow heaven at 10,000ft!

70 at Christmas is depressing...

Looks good Dawg! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> We were shopping in Joplin earlier, and when we came home it was 10 degrees F. and a COLD wind! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Not as bad as our neighbors to the North, but cold ENOUGH!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Is that a golf course?

Its 8 degrees F here.

We have over 200 golf courses. Must be the weather.

Dude, I hope you play the game. Would be a shame to waste that fine grass!!
Do they allow knives on the golf course down there? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It was like 83 degrees here last week, but today it was around 25 for the low and 45 for the high. Crazy weather.

No- you HAVE to carry one for protection. Both a gun and knife as Jeff makes pants that fit right on your golf bag. Kinda like putt- pull and slash <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> !!

A plaid kydex sheath...
Now there is an idea!
Maybe Olive drab,black and tan combination,
could be camo-plaid!

You got it- I knew all those golf courses were good for something. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> Maybe we can fish in the ponds <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

You must be in the Maritimes NB...
Heard that parts of New Brunswick got hit with about 20-35cms (7 - 14 inches) of
snow last night.
Also heard that close to 90,000 people had no power this morning, and were around
0 deg F this morning.

Not so good

My daughter and son-in-law live in Corner Brook Nfld and got hit with blizzard
conditions and 140 km/hr (90 mph) winds. Haven't been able to get through to
them yet today.

You guessed it DotD! My buddy and I went offroading in his truck, had to stop a few times cause we couldn't see 10ft in front of us. Almost got lost too as our tracks in 1.5 ft of snow were completely gone in 20 minutes.

Here's some pictures someone took of the highway last night.

That is a bunch of white stuff.What were you driving ?

Yep, been in that kind of weather. Was actually in something like that just
south of Red Deer Alberta last APRIL <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

We finally got through to my son-in-law in Corner Brook. The family is alright,
snug in their house, with enough food stocked away for a couple of months... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
They live out on Benoit's Cove, and he tried to drive into town. Made it to the
first gas station, filled up with gas just in case, then turned around and drove
back home... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We were in a basic 94 F150 lifted a bit with brand new studded Trail Diggers...

Sure! What they don't know doesn't hurt them.

Sorry DotD, the closest I've come to playing is miniature golf. It's not that I haven't been offered to go, it's choosing that over shooting that gets me! Or traveling/hiking/camping, etc. So hard to find time for it. Maybe when I'm 60.

Hahaha, a co-worker of mine almost got fired for doing that!!! He tried hiding in the palm trees

NB GSXR, where in New Brunswick are you again? I'm visiting the family just outside of Saint John, in the old Gondola Point area.

I had a blast sliding around the parking lots in my old Sebring Coupe yesterday! I'd find an empty parking lot, race across it at about 80 KM/h, then hit the brakes and do some spins. Gawds, what a blast me and my bud Chris had! Tell you something tho, it gets you used to how your vehicle drifts and slides.... and is fun as heck to boot! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Speaking of driving on the snow...it is sooo much fun!!

I can't stress how much driving on the snow actually improve your driving skills!

We need another snow storm here in New England before the year ends.
