No problem at the Dynachrome mansion. 15 degrees above zero this morning.
Its all that second hand marijuana smoke...its gathering and raising the temperatures.Its also causing a lot of hallucinations.
-25 at the summer place this morning, but we’re at the winter place where it got down to +17 and up to 43. Both in Colorado, 3 hours apart.
If you are properly dressed, being out in extreme cold temperatures (-20 or lower) can be quite invigorating.
The super dense air is full of micro ice crystals that shimmer in the sun. And sounds are amplified. Sounding clearer and traveling further.
And breathing super cold, super dense air makes you feel great.
That’s cold. The coldest I ever remember it in the Minneapolis-St Paul area was in the late 1990s. It was my son’s last year in the Boy Scouts and we were on a winter expedition along the St. Croix River just east of St. Paul.
The temp one night made it to 40 below.
I got up about every 2 hours that night to warm up my car so it would get us home the next day. The car came through.
We still talk about that trip.
Thanks for all you do here.
Happy New Year to you and All.
Buckle up and stay safe.
I grew up in Northern Minnesota in the 60s. Minus 40 occurred several times most winters. I even filled a gallon jug with green chlorine gas which liquifies at -39F, and put it on the back porch to see if could see any liquid. I couldn’t. One morning while I walked to college, the radio reported a temperature below -50F. Another (windy) morning I froze my North side (left) ear while running across an open athletic field to get to swimming training.
From the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Johnny: Man, is it cold out there today.
Ed: How cold is it?
Johnny: Well, on my way in this afternoon, I couldn’t help but notice an exhibitionist on the corner, and it’s so cold, he was flashing a drawing of himself.
Just imagine how cold it would be without the planet being on fire due to man made global warming.
“The planet has a fee-ver,” Al Gore.
While not too bad at the moment in Quebec & Ontario in Canada - they started getting colder than average temperatures back in November. This was the second year in a row. The temperatures are certainly getting colder.
Damn that Global Warming .... your warmth has been stolen by Greta.
48 in Phoenix right now
Yes but it’s a very very warming cold
my folks had a place in Gunnison, it gets very cold, I saw 30 below and the ice crystals in clear cold blue skies. Dad would say it would get cold with no wind or clouds and then a storm would blow in, go from 30 below to 20 degrees a 50 degree change in a matter of minutes
Was out in Utah when the Siberian Express came through in 1989?. Dropped to minus 54 in the Northeast part of the state. Drove across central Utah from Green River to Cedar city after the blizzard cleared in a rental car that we got in Vegas. It was minus 20 in Green River that morning and according to the rangers at Capitol Reef, it dropped to minus 35 at the nearby town of Loa that morning.
It was a beautiful drive, cobalt blue sky, snow-covered landscape, and very very cold. Almost no traffic on the two-lane road. Our motel room in Cedar City was so cold despite the heat on full blast that we had to sleep in our ski clothes.
When we got back to Vegas the temp had dropped into the teens killing most all of the palm trees. What a memorable drive that was!!
And it;s a bit nippy in Alaska also.

Hence global warming was changed to climate change so it can either way for them
Here at northern Mi cabin we are warm and toasty with about ten inches of snow outside. The greatest husband ever shoveled well after the first 6 yesterday.
Later today I will be working for double time.
