It's cold here...

[Tasmaniak]

Some people have been asking me how cold it is here in Wisconsin...well, here you go! This is in Celcius for y'all

Currently -18C
Wind - 29kp/h
Feels like - 29C

Although the temp is -18 once you add in the wind chill factor the temp that you feel is -29C

If I go outside for a smoke I have to keep wriggling my little fingers otherwise the blood in them freezes within minutes.

It's no longer snowing here...it's just to damn cold.

Tonight we are expecting the weather to drop below -40C unsure of what the windchill factor will be. All I know is I have 5 hour drive on icy roads....I'm mad...I swear I'm mad.

As I have said before I'll be more than happy to swap I have plenty of insulation so I'll be right, I might even need to whack on a jumper

It's just hit 17 degrees and it's just gone 7am We are in for a fine and sunny day here in Adelaide with a top of 26 degrees.

In all seriousness though that's damn cold!!

[Tasmaniak]

heh, one of the many things that happen is that the snow freezes to the ground and needs a lot of work to get it off. So, just leave it there right? Wrong! It's a $5,000 fine for not shovelling your sidewalk within 24hrs of the last snowfall.

This is the warning that we get every day ....

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM CST THIS
AFTERNOON.

NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH WILL COMBINE WITH ARCTIC AIR TO
CREATE WIND CHILL READINGS OF MINUS 30 TO MINUS 45 TODAY.

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS WILL
COMBINE TO GENERATE VERY LOW WIND CHILLS. WEATHER CONDITIONS
TODAY WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND COULD LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF
PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN.

Perfect time to learn Linux

Just when I thought we had some silly fines, that just tops it, still I guess it comes back to public safety.

yeah, we've had a great past 2 days and tommorrow should be good as well.

Later this week we have some hot weather coming our way which will be an interesting way to end summer

[sixshooter]

So I guess you've got no running water when the temp hits that low ?

I bet your electricity / gas bill goes through the roof during that weather cycle...

Least your beer wont get warm....LOL

[Tasmaniak]

we certainly do have running water..the pipes are heated...a little bit

$5,000 for not shovelling your sidewalk. Come on how slack is that. Is this so people don't fall arse over head and sue the local council if it's called a council over there.
