Hey, they canceled the "Winter Storm Warning" for my area. Got upgraded to a "Blizzard Warning"! :)
It has warmed up a bit though, up to 7.7 °F now.

32 on the F scale.

I just got back from partying with a couple of friends of mine. Screw the cold. It didn't ruin our night. :)

6˚F with wind chill of -14˚F right now. There's no snow on the ground, which is nice because I hate walking on dry (below 20˚F or so) snow.

All the snow has turned to solid ice, which has made parallel parking (especially getting out) a real PITA! :crazy: Lucky for me, I bought Guitar Hero on Thursday, and haven't left the house much since!

I love street parking in the winter (compare to summer anyway), it's like having my own reserved parking spots. :D

They don't make them like that anymore. My dad's '81 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was a reliable luxury tank. One time, a giant tree limb fell on the hood. Instead of the car or at least the engine being totalled; my dad just took a hammer and banged the hood back straight. That was the only damage.... a few shallow dents in the hood. Car ran just fine afterwards.

Yup, sure don't make them like that anymore.... They don't even make Oldsmobile anymore. (That's what happens when the parent company decides to try to attract younger buyers, by making cars that the brand's traditional core-customers have no interest in. Way to go GM).

On topic, as the cars got older (despite their durability) you had to warm them up for at least 10 minutes on cold days. Otherwise, they'd stall out just a few blocks later.

In Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. About 50 miles south west of Toronto.
Around the time of the OP it was -22°C (-8°F) wind chill.
It dropped to -29°C (-20°F) in the evening.

I went out Sunday morning for breakfast and to go to the corner store (I was out of bread and milk). Nobody had shoveled their sidewalk. No fun trudging through the snow.

The deep freeze down the middle of North America is bad this season. When I see pictures of snowstorms in Texas and Louisiana in the news.....

Alright, which one of you is playing with the Governments secret weather machine? Posted this last Sunday:

It has warmed up a bit though, up to 7.7 °F now.

Forecast for this Saturday:
High: 54° - Low F 27° F
Chance of T-storms
90% chance of precipitation

Then of course it will be cold enough over night and the following days to freeze all that rain into solid ice. Should be fun :devil:.

Brrr...
Although I complain about being cold here in So. Cal...;) I went out for my usual 25 mile ride to the beach the other day and it was coolish at about 51F. For a So. Cal kid, the lowest I've experienced is 16F.
