OH MAN IT'S COLD!!

[Dioni]

Wow.. its quite cold!

Here in my state, the southernmost and one of the coldest in Brazil, the lowest temperature is around -5Cº [23Fº] during winter.

Snow is rare!

Dioni: The high temp hasn't hit your yearly low here in about a week.

Right now it's 12ºF, and that's as warm as it's getting today. Tomorrow's high is only supposed to be 7ºF...

Last Tuesday (and Wednesday morning) night we hit -9F around the Colorado Springs region. Winds were pushing 10-25MPH IIRC. Weather forecasters said windchill was as low as -30F at times.

I got called into work that night to deliver pizzas. Glad I wore my polypro. Face still froze in the few minutes that I was outside here and there. Can't imagine being out in that sort of weather for a long period of time.

PS: here's some neat photos from a storm we had here a couple years back:

Took the 4x4 out for a spin in that, like I do anytime it snows;

Geez Mdocod-up here in Canada the only thing we fear are the words "Colorado Low"!!!!!!

I'm not kidding.We laugh at -30 temps,but when the weatherman says a low is moving up from Colorado we shake in our moccasins!!!

Typically these lows bring 10-40 inches of snow to our region.

Back in '97 two Colorado Lows bought storms in to my area of around a total of 50 inches of snow in one week that later melted and resulted in the "flood of the century".

Poor Grand Forks,North Dakota was under 5 feet of water.

The only thing that saved my hometown of Winnipeg was the floodway constructed back in the 50's to divert water around the city.

I love your battery holders Mdocod-but please keep the snow to yourself.:devil:

LOL... Here we are always looking out for an "Albuquerque Low" !

Wonder how you guys can get such copious snowfalls. You are so far inland, where's the source of the moisture?

I've been thru a few hellacious snowstorms here in the USA northeast but those storms typically come up the coast and drag the moisture off the Atlantic.

That's my idea of heaven. Used to live in the Springs, Denver, and had a condo in Dillon. Those were the days.

Depends which part of Canada.

S. Ontario/S. Quebec gets a lot of moisture from the Great Lakes.

The praries get snow from recycled moisture ... rain/snow falls on land close to the sea and evaporates and moves inland and falls and evaporates and falls futher inland.

BC gets rain/snow from the Pacific and BC mountains get a LOT of snow.

Whereas the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.

 

[R@ndom]

Here is about 90 Fahrenheit. :poof:

I think he's got it. I think he's got it.

 

[LuxLuthor]

*GASP* Could it be? Some glorious snow for once? Oh, I'm hoping we get some of the sweet white stuff for once. I can get out my sled and see if my Westie, Scottie can pull me around. LOL!

 

[Mjolnir]

Well the the National Weather service site says my area is going to get 11 inches of snow... However, it isn't snowing yet, and they are wrong 100% of the time about everything.

 

[vtunderground]

We just got 15" of snow, which is pretty respectable for Virginia. Today we exercised the 4WD (and made a snowman). Tomorrow I get to shovel the sidewalk & dig out my wife's car.

 

[Budda]

Today in the north of Italy is a cold day, instead the warm sun: -5°C, 23F

 

[LuxLuthor]

I just measured in several places to rule out drifting, and have 17-18 inches recorded, and its still snowing lightly. This makes me so happy. Finally!

 

[jzmtl]

-20C last night, but on top of mountain must be -30. Was freezing my butt off while on ski lift, and to make things worse they are snowmaking and blowing water all over the place.

 

[LuxLuthor]

WooHoo 22 inches of fluffy bliss. I love the snow. The stunning beauty and enveloping cold repainting of the world into a pure white. I love watching it, walking in it, slipping on it, feeling it, looking at snowflakes, shoveling it, driving in it, skiiing on it, playing with it.
