You can thank us for the weather Lloyd. We've allot of -20 to -30 here. Sending some warmer air your way by the end of the weekend.
If liars pants really did catch on fire, watching the news would be a lot more fun!
Supposed to get down to 13 degrees here in the Arkansas tonight. Sounds more like y'all's weather.
Britons shall never be slaves.
-10 here at 1700’ in Central NYS tonight but at least no snow to plow. We are in the teeth of winter and it’s supposed to continue rest of January.
Snow north of the Border
Or at least where I am... well 4-5 days ago
Snowed during the night, opened the back door, over a foot of snow resting against door and out farther it was 2 plus feet.
reached out and grabbed snow shovel where it was resting against back wall. moved shoveled the top part of the snow so i would not get any white stuff down the top of my boots, and moved enough snow to be able to open the doors on the SUV and clean off the top of it. So i could go to work.
Phoned work and said I was going to be late. when i walked in to work Boss was glad I showed up as others had phoned in and could not make it.
after work went home and shoved and snow blowed 3 hours. Called it a night when ran out of gas and when trying to restart it broke the pull cord.
next day go to work, home ,fix pull cord, 3 more hours/ Used a snow shovel to clean off the top of the car.. it looked more like a cube van with some snow on top .made a few passes with the snow blower on neighbours DW to make it wider
3 day Have a day off ... more snow but it warmed up now it is heavy and will not blow more than 3 ft. Got more of it done
Day 4 Froze over night snow turned to ice and you can walk on it..... today Man cave. have some 44 cal to lube
if I was younger i would be outside carving snow blocks/ stacking and making a igloo fort to play in
No such thing as global warming.... cause its colder out and more snow than when I was a kid

its suppose to hit here in a couple days. there talking highs of -10 next week.
Raining here now, will turn to snow tonite - high below freezing tomorrow and maybe 4-7" of the white stuff - that's a lot for us. I'm going out to the freezer and get the last of the Guiness beef stew for tomorrow nite. Fireplace all set up and wood on the back covered porch - and not working on Fridays anyway. Hot chocolate in front of the fireplace and beef stew on tap for tomorrow nite. Question if we will try to go to Church Sunday, we'll see how bad it is. I can drive in it no problem, move here from NH and lived in WVA. Lots of people around here are completely incapable. USN moves folks here from Texas or Florida who have literally never seen snow and they try to drive in it! I'll sit at home unless I absolutely have to go out.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
I know what happened to Martin Luther so I hesitate to bring this up but I must admit to trending toward a global warming and climate change skeptic. Entire industries now depend upon climate change models being the gospel and I sure don't want to put anyone out of work however.
Amarillo, Texas
24 degrees right now
About an inch of snow on the ground from
last night.
WHEE !

My farmer neighbor does my snow removal. You can do a heckuva job in a hurry with a 90 HP diesel New Holland!

Supposed to get down to 16 here in the morning, nothing as bad as some of you are dealing with. Haven’t had to use the front end loader on my tractor to break ice yet , like last year no complaining from me!
Keep your powder dry and watch your six !!
Climate change used to be called 'weather' Now it's cause for panic. Going down to single digits here. It's done it before, and it'll do it again. I'm ready for it. Truck, generator, wood burner, snow blower, all ready to go. Pantry is full, so is the chest freezer. My neighbor across the street is a lawyer. It was so cold last week, when I looked out and seen him, he had his hands in his own pockets....
Deplorable infidel
A few days ago Onslo, in NW Australia recorded 50.7 degrees Celsius (121 F). That part of the country can be pretty hot in (our) summer. The story goes that a fellow from over there came to present himself at the Gates of Hell. The Devil was giving him the spiel about fire and brimstone. "You can't scare me with that stuff" declared Our Man, "I'm from Marble Bar" (another hot place - the "marble" is actually a bar of jasper across the river, and it's a lovely place to visit in winter).

It'll be handy if I never need it.

You guys keep reminding me of why I live in Florida.
-20 degrees up here in the mountains with 20 inches of snow. Good weekend to attend the Albany Gun show.
Stop being blinded by your own ignorance.
-6°F at 0600 today. The high was 17°. Tonight it might be colder. Thankfully no wind chill worth mentioning. And with the arctic air mass there's no humidity worth considering either.
Let's go Brandon!
