Freakish? Is it really freakish? Weve had it worse than this. Its been awhile since its been this cold, but I wouldnt call it freakish. Its winter in the Midwest.In the mid 70's, I can remember delivering papers when temps were below zero, without the wind chill. IIRC, one time it lasted about a week, warmed up to almost freezing for a week and then dropped to below zero for almost another week.
I remember in the 80's, puting a heater under my car, a number of times, so that I could start it in the morning.

That’s getting cold enough where block heaters are no longer a luxury.

Get up to speed, would'ya?

She came to California because of the cold. Now she hates California for a myriad of reasons. Her mother says that my ex-friend and her Arab husband are going to move out of California and go back to North Dakota. :o)
Hoorah!!!

The government needs to do something about this weather.

In Winnipeg they express wind chill in minutes- as in the amount of time it takes for exposed skin to freeze.

That's only wind chill. Stay out of the wind. -10 here right now, anticipated -25 tonight. (Wind chill -50)
Not so bad, unless you are stuck out in it.
I have seen -60 ambient, with a 40 mph wind. That's cold. (-146 wind chill)
Dress in layers, expose as little skin as possible, touch nothing directly (good gloves a must). Do not exert yourself to the point where you are breathing heavily (you can damage your lungs with cold air), and if you don't have to be out in it, stay inside.

If you are wet? A LOT lower. Water carries heat away from a human body 37 times faster than air. So if you are soaked, well, I’m too tired to do the math, but it is not good. (Wind chill is based on a dry body BTW.)

I cant even imagine what -30 feels like, or how anyone functions in freezing conditions like that. I can't, either. Here in Orange County, Calif., it's around 60 degrees. The high temps have been flirting with 80 all week and should continue to do so.

It was like a freakin’ blizzard in town and only in town.

Yeah, I knew those guys were miserable. I sort of thought they might come over and thank me for seeing them and calling it in.
Then again, no one may have even told them how they got sighted.

The locations of the temperature sensors the AGW scientists rely on for their alarmist forecasts are one of the biggest open secrets in this whole charade.
I’ve also read that lots of temperature sensor stations that were located in remote rural areas have recently been taken off line.
I’m pretty sure the warmist community is mostly unaware of this.

Yup, I checked the antifreeze in everything in the fleet tonight for proper temp. good thing I did. I had to put my inlaws pickup in the heated garage. -5 on the coolant. Truck would have been an ice cube come morning..
Everything else is good to go at -40 or better. Since I am on call and my car got kicked out of the garage I plugged in the block heater and wished it luck.

That is the temperature at which propane freezes in its tank. Which temperature? Several are mentioned in the article.

You can get used to cold weather if you live in it every winter, but there’s no getting used to -30. LOL.
