Ok I need a drink.

 

The last vestige of Boston's record winter snowfall - a heap of filthy snow in a parking lot near the harbor - melted under a hot July sun on Tuesday July 14, leading the governor of Massachusetts to declare the end of the city's winter "nightmare."

 

I will not accept it. In fact I'm turning the thermostat up to Florida.

 

Heck lows of 40 & highs of 60 would be just fine. We hit 47 today & all the slop is melting from the roads. Until the next blast of winter. :shovel:

 

Hi folks,
-15 F in Minneapolis this morning. -5 or so was the high temp and heading back to -17 overnight.

Even had to put slippers on to take out the recycling and play a bit with the dogs. I love the way things sound during frigid weather. Creaking noises the snow makes when walked or driven on, and the jet airplane engine sounds as they are rending the air.

Smartwool socks and a Minus33 quarter zip is the ticket!

 

Cold here, too cold for this old fart. -7 here now, hope the electricity stays up & humming. Skooby started right up today, thanks to a new battery.

 

-4 here in the heat island of Downtownish Columbus. I think the wind chill is supposed to be as low as -40. Not that I'll be going out side till it warms up some.

It kept my MINI still all day. I'm not even going to try till it thaws out on Wednesday.

How Cold Is It?

 

at 5:00 PM it was already 32 degrees! Its supposed to get to 25 here in the metro New Orleans area. I know it pales in comparison to anyone else here, but 25 is outrageous for this area. It usually dips to 32 or just below about 5 times every winter. On the flipside, July and August is so miserably hot and humid down here the statues sweat. THAT poses a MINI problem sometimes. Winter here is no problem for the MINI. In fact, I left it outside the garage tonight to make room for the 30 year old staghorn ferns I have.

 

Not to be a d..k, but it's supposed to get down to 37 (that's a familiar number) or so tonight....

Hope all you guys have a few nights supply of Jack Daniel's, or another warm libation additive of your choice, to help you through the cold!

 

Just north of Columbus we have -11 with a windchill of -38.

 

This morning......



My MINI wasn't happy about it, but it did start right up.

I brought it into the garage while the wife was out and about in her Audi and warmed it up and put the battery charger on it for about 3 hours just to top it up.

 

-22 F this morning when firing up the wee beasties. All good. Only -14 F at end of work today.
IT'S BRISK BABY!

 

Here at about 1300' the temp is 3.7 degrees F. Will crank Merlin in the morning to go grocery shopping. Until then he's on his own in the unheated garage.

 

945pm est Columbus Ohio. Minus 6

 

-2 in STL now. Clubman started fine at -7 this morning.

It was -15 here in Colorado this morning. The Clubman ran great. Boy do I like the heated seats!

 

Why is it that women are comfortable with those seat heaters on high? My legs get seared on "1", and I have to turn it off after about 5 min.....

But I agree, they feel great on a frigid morning like we've been having!

Like her, my car doesn't really get warmed up in the 5 miles or so I drive to work.

 

Just got a call from my foreman.... He's at the shop and the shop door won't open....

I grabbed a can of mineral spirits I had in the garage.... Went to work early this morning... Got to the shop and poured some mineral spirits on my key...

Presto..... "Open Sesame".... We're in the shop now with all the heaters cranked up high....

The current temperature @ 6:41am is -8F.... Brrrrrrrr
