Baby, It's Cold Outside

[Rocky]

December 2015 was the mildest December on record here.
When we were in NYC over Christmas they had record breaking mild temps. One day it was 22C (71F) and the mild air flowed northeast and across this area.
But that all came to a crashing halt last night.
I woke up to -12C (10F) this morning and it's still only around -10C
this is Canada and it's winter time so that's to be expected.
Milder later in the week "they" say.

I am already ready for summer, even if this winter hasn't been bad and i know the worst is around the corner.

-12C? That's it? Was -18C here this morning, then when the sun came up went down to -22C for a while before it climbed to a balmy -11C.
We're supposed to get the milder temps up this way too, Rocky, later in the week.
You're right, after the warm December we had these cold temps suck.
Was +13 here on Christmas Day. That's very unusual.
Down in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia where my in laws live and where we spent Christmas Day, it was +17-18C. Had the patio door open all day while cooking the Christmas dinner.

Rain in Sydney Monday, yesterday and today, getting pretty sick of the water. probably close to 200mm in the rain gauge this week.

my God. I was still wearing shorts just last week. Then all of a sudden, I'm throwing on my heavy coat, gloves, and scarf! ?? bike is now being winterized. Even though I have heated gear, it's really not much fun going out in the freezing temperatures. I don't ride to work because I have to drop my wife off first (and she carries tons of stuff with her) before heading into the office. And I don't feel comfortable riding while wearing a suit and tie. for all of you hard core winter riders out there, my hat comes off to you!

I think Rocky has been hiding what shoveling snow is really like. . . Trying to save it all for himself.

RAW: Shovelling to the beat of African drums

that is toooo funny!!!!

Well.....if you can't do anything about the weather you may as well have some fun with it

I'm happy to report that the temps have come up and it's just above the freezing mark and quite warm on the face in the sun.

Now.........where did I put that Santa Claus hat!!

 

[DRod]

funny. will probably take then 4 hours to shovel that section but at least they're getting a nice workout!

 

[Mad On Triumphs]

Come on Rocky, show us your moves.

Back in the DEEP freeze again!
Was +7C here this morning.
Going to -12C by tomorrow morning.
Brrrrrrrrrr!

 

[harper6t]

send over some of that cold please, it was 25C here in Sydney at midnight last night and very humid.

 

[Sprocket]

At least you can warm up

We are having one of the hottest summers ever recorded
Severe heat waves, extreme humidity coolest has been about 36C
The rains have finally come and some drought stricken places have received some relief
Game and farm animals have been starving to death from lack of rain and no grazing
Maize crops were never planted due to no rain this season

What I would not do for some cool snow

 

[Qship]

Would be great if we could swap about 15 degrees of temperature. Make all of us more comfortable.

 

[triumph david]

You can have all of this cold stuff and a little of this rain too, i can't be satisfied.

 

[Qship]

We're getting rain tonight and into tomorrow. Frozen white rain .
About 10-15 cms of it.
