Balmy = mild

I believe the cold is actually coming from Alaska.

Posted by: ericread Jan 13 2009, 12:42 PM

It was close to 90 degrees in SoCal yesterday, and forecast to be 88 degrees today. So yes, thank you for the balmy weather

I'm scheduled to be in Minnetonka in either late March or early April. As punishment for living in sunny southern Cali, I'm called back to corporate HQ each winter. I think they really enjoy watching me shiver...

Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Palm Springs in 48 hours and counting down! I grew up in Great Falls, MT and can't say I miss the miserable coldness there.

Here come the flip flops trying to blow sunshine up our ... I had to retreat to the third floor to get warm. My heat bill is going to suck!

Posted by: ericread Jan 13 2009, 01:59 PM

I understand your pain... My air-conditioning bill is going to be killing me this month.

Posted by: So.Cal.914 Jan 13 2009, 02:08 PM

I live a little east of Palm Springs, it's about 85 today. Should be about the same all week. Doing a BBQ + 4X4 week end if its not to hot.







I have heard some really funny jokes from our Cryogenic Brothers from the North.
So I know you all have a sence of humor.

Hey, you can't take Pamela Anderson and then complain about a little chilly weather that we ship down there as well. You gotta take the bad with the good!

Posted by: ConeDodger Jan 13 2009, 06:00 PM

Huh??? Which is the good? You can have that skank back any time you want!!!

I wonder if her hepititis is covered by Canadien social medicine???

Posted by: pete-stevers Jan 13 2009, 11:37 PM

No it wouldn't be, she would have to move back as a permanent resident, then it would be fully covered.

Posted by: sww914 Jan 14 2009, 10:27 AM

You could move.

I was 20 before I saw snow come from the sky that wasn't shot from a cannon.

Squeak...

Posted by: rick 918-S Jan 15 2009, 11:31 AM

All schools were cancelled here today. I guess they didn't want to have to chip the kids boots off the ground to get them in the busses..

Posted by: Mark Henry Jan 15 2009, 03:45 PM

My kids pray for snow days

I don't 4 or 5 already this year.

Posted by: jmill Jan 15 2009, 04:50 PM

You know it's cold out when it squeaks. It's warm when the snow just smushes without any noise. It's chilly when it crunches. When it squeaks you better cover up yours ears. Otherwise, you might snap one off.

Posted by: So.Cal.914 Jan 15 2009, 04:55 PM

I don't think I ever went sking when I couldn't take my shirt off and get a tan. And this snapping off of body parts has convinced me I did the right thing. Geeze

Posted by: iamchappy Jan 15 2009, 04:58 PM

It was -40 in International Falls this morning it would be even colder in the low lying areas, add wind chill it gets dangerous. One more night in the below 20's and then we will see a slight warm up. anything above 0 now will feel great!

Posted by: FourBlades Jan 15 2009, 06:19 PM

Here in middle florida it dipped into the upper 50s today. I had to put on long
pants and shoes, and even then it was bitter cold!!! I actually stopped sweating
for a few minutes today, unheard of!!!

Colorado low or Alaskan High, the crap always comes from the USA.

Posted by: r_towle Jan 15 2009, 08:23 PM

I hate squeeky snow.

I believe this ones coming from Yellow Knife...
The weather your sending us is your warm stuff.

Posted by: iamchappy Jan 16 2009, 07:23 AM

Another fine morning, the warmer stuff is suppose to be coming.
I get to go to Florida next week where it's 105º warmer.

-28 in Rice Lake this AM. ugh. At least they gave us some good stuff to, like Mike Meyers. When it hits zero, why keep counting. -5 is cold, -10 is cold, -28 is cold.

Tonight was supposed to be my first garage night in several weeks. I have been looking forward to it. But my garage was freak'n 0 degrees this morning, and it is supposed to get colder tonight.

I am equipped for the standard 20-30 degree winters here in PA, but this is just silly. And we don't even have any snow to squeek in. This past week we were supposed to see 10 inches fall in total, and all we got was a 1/2 inch or so. Bollocks!

I was hoping to get a new pic today.

Seriously, what a drag. I left the house at 06:00 this morning in the dark. I had to put the top back on the 914 because at 30 degrees it's a little too chilly, even with the heat on. Unless I wear pants instead of shorts and it's just going to be too nice today (all weekend in fact) to wear long pants. It won't be 80 here or anything so extreme, but I'll take 50-60 in January.

Hang in there northern brothers.

Mornings like this make it difficult to leave the Igloo to go potty.

Posted by: ericread Jan 16 2009, 10:18 AM

I feel your pain. At 8:00 AM this morning it's only 54 degrees in Irvine, CA... Brrrrrrrrr....

It should hit about 78 degrees by 2:00 pm, so I guess I'll defrost later today.

I'm thinking about signing up for a beginning sailing course at Newport Beach for next month. But with temps not expected to be over 70 degrees, I'm a bit worried about being out on the water in that weather.

I hguess I can tough it out...

Posted by: So.Cal.914 Jan 16 2009, 10:26 AM

Dudes, I don't know how you do it. But if it makes you feel any better it will be 125 here this summer. Bad with the good.

Posted by: ericread Jan 16 2009, 10:29 AM

Yep, the good with the bad. We fully expect temperatures to hit 85 this summer here.

OK, a few earthquakes and brush fires aside, it's not a bad place to be. And as long as we can keep stealing water from Northern California and Nevada, our lawns stay nice and green

I am sitting here trying to see what I can layer up in so as not to waste the night, and also not freeze. This will make normal temps in the 20s seem warm when they get back.

If you canuckistanies are going to send us all your cold air, can't you at least mix some snow in it? I've not even put gas in the snow blower this year.
