How cold is it in your neck of the woods?

Gonna be 75 here in Alabama today. I’d like to take this time to personally thank my anscestors for foreseeing my need to spray lacquer a week before Christmas.

I am in SC and we have been having CRAZY weather. One week it was in the teens in the morning and the highs did not get above the mid 20s. Then it went to 60s and 70s for a few days of torrential rains. Now it is misty and in the higher 40s and supposedly going to be in the 60s again I think. BUT, it is supposed to be cold for Christmas hahahaha. I hate the weather here, you never know what it is going to be!

+3°F. Compared to earlier in the week, we’re having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave… On the brightside, it’s only supposed to dump 6-8 inches of snow today.

Snow…..must be nice. We haven’t had a white christmas since I was a little kid.

You can come and get all you want of it.

It’s been below freezing in Arkansas, but a little warmer today. Yesterday I sparyed lacquer and I couldn’t get it to dry. Took about 3 times as long.

hahaha sorry, but i love it

A couple days ago the HIGH was minus 5 degrees. But here in Minnesota we find fun things to do in even the coldest weather. At minus 25 degrees you can whip a full glass of water in the air and it will instantly freeze into a mist and none of it will hit the ground in a liquid state. I’ve done it – it works. Food coloring in the water is even more fun.

The rest of you are just sissies.

I hunted up near Delta in 58 below. It felt good when it warmed up to 25 below. At 80 below or 3 feet of snow school buses run a little late up here while an inch of snow in some of the lower 48 cities cripples them for days. You folks down south may have some fair weather but we get the northen lights up close and personal, moose in our back yards and snow up to our eyeballs (a good thing in some viewpoints).

current temp is 1. 9 – 12 inches of snow on the way tonight.

Here in Manitoba the temperature was -27 Celsius, with a wind chill bringing it down to -43C.
I’m with you, Boardman!
However, here in the summer, it once got so hot that the corn popped right on the corncobs in the field. When the cows came out of the barn, they thought the popcorn was snow, and they all froze to death.

It was so cold here yesterday that when my neighbor passed gas it formed brown crystal bubbles

It’s 28F here in Hastings this morning.The sun is shining brightly and it’s a beautiful day.

-- Dustygirl..Hastings,Ontario.. How much wood can 1 gal chuck if 1 gal can't cut wood?

-2 and snow tonight!

-- timmytimmy

I live on the Mojave Desert and it snowed 8 inches yesterday through last night!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

18 this morning, -4 yesterday. 6 inches of snow on the ground

-- Thos. Angle

I don’t know if it is any indication of the winter to come but squirrels started storing nuts in 55 gallon barrels last fall. The snow is so deep we have ceased to use the vertically enhanced Native American method of measuring snowfall.

I returned to Gainesville from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula last Friday. When I left, Lake Superior had sent over so much “lake effect” snow that even my 18” boots were covered over. Today, according to NOAA, my shop in the U.P. is in the low single digits with a brutal wind chill factor. The snow is still falling almost continuously. This is great weather for snowmobiliers, skiiers, and ice fishermen.

Here in Gainesville Florida we hit 80 degrees today.

Southwest Florida is a sunny 78 with very low humidity. this is the weather that makes living in Florida the rest of the year bearable. aside from all the tourists and snowbirds winter, Nov-Feb, is the best time to be here. after that its nothing but unbearable humidity and grown man diaper rash for 8 months. next Saturday is our neighborhood pig roast and we couldn’t ask for any better weather.

74 degrees. Ran the air conditioning in the pickup. Hey Grumpy, what’s the temp. in summertime Australia?

-- bbqKing, Lawrenceville

28 F today in Mosul, Iraq. Someone forgot to tell the weatherman this place is supposed to be hot.

-- Kyle Shipp, Michigan, http://battleshipp.blogspot.com

78F titmas where in SW FL I am looking to crash a pig roast this weekend LOL

A small amount of snow and a bit of ice on the ground, freezing rain falling at this moment, but it’s not as bad as some places. It’s supposed to get to single digits this weekend. I don’t enjoy the cold as much as I did as a child and it got us off of school.

-- Respect your shop tools and they will respect you - Ric

they’re predicting over a foot of white stuff here tomorrow. i already have school canceled!

25 degrees and 3 inches of snow. Highly unusual. It’s supposed to rain here. Everything has ground to a halt. No thawing is forecast until after Christmas. In a couple nights, it is supposed to tie a low temp record from 1949 of 17 degrees.

-- Rich, Seattle, WA

-10C and about a metre of snow. I’ve never seen snow build-up on an overhead telephone wire before…
My problem is that I’m expecting a delivery of a few hundred bd.ft. of VG fir soon and I don’t want to open the shop door and let all the cold in…..

It was so cold last week (when we lost power, that we pulled the food out of the fridge to keep it cold and fresh! Warm beer in the fridge, freezing cold ice water on the counter!

Otherwise, it’s a balmy 28 degrees today – T-Shirt weather!

Lows in the high 20s here, but for this area that’s darned cold. In fact, I saw a stockbroker with his hands in his own pockets…

I sure feel sorry for you folks having to put up with warm weather in the winter. Snuggling up with your sweetheart with some hot chocolate in front a nice toasty fire somehow loses it’s appeal when it’s 78 degrees out. I will take my 19 degrees and new blanket of snow.

76 in New Orleans today, but it was snowing last Thursday!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Rich, I know what you mean. A half inch of the stuff paralyzes Seattle. I was in Kirkland in the early 60’s for a couple of years, and my sister is still in Seattle.

We are due for 6-12 inches of the stuff starting noon tomorrow. The darn dogs must have gotten a hold of my phone again and ordered it! you can see them enjoying a snowfall in my avatar :-)

-- Fred, Springfield, Ma

85 degrees here year-round. Except when it’s hotter.

-- Eric at http://adventuresinwoodworking.com

we live on the coast in Austrailia, so its summer here now,
kinda confused me when i saw the LumberJocks Winter Woodworking Awards…

mostly in the 30’s last couple days
thats 30 celsuis (86F)

-- BRODY. NSW AUSTRALIA -arguments with turnings are rarely productive-

Well, its +14 F in the Twin Cities.

Cold enough to turn my Hawthorne tree into future lathe projects.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

54 degrees F in Effingham, IL we had an ice storm but it is all melted off now. ;-)
Winds W at 15 to 25 mph. Forecast calls for: Morning high of 44F with temps falling to near freezing. It’s 10F degrees above the forecast now.

-- Only the Shadow knows....................

16 this morning with 4 more inches of snow. Had some wind last night.

Snow/Sleet/Freezing rain – Low 30’s F.

-- Ron, Kutztown, PA "The reward is in the journey."

The past 5 days in Dallas TX has provided low 20s early in the week, then a 1-2 inch sleet storm, then lows in the 30s and DENSE freezing fog, then lows in the 40s and fog and rain. Today (Friday) is bright, sunny and mid 70s. The weekend is to turn to the 20s again on Sunday. I AM NOT complaining. Lived in S.Dakota early 60s, Maine late 60s and the S.West ever since. Even though I enjoyed playing in the snow as a kid I would MUCH rather be warm. I do miss the beauty of it however.

Got up this morning to -25C (approx 14F below) small skiff of snow overnite so will use my leaf blower to clean off the sidewalks & driveway after lunch. One thing about cold weather is that you can pile on clothing until your comfortable. Too hot (over 90F) & you hafta resort to airconditioning….oh well.

-- Lee

Hey Lee is was the same thing on my side of “the river” too! ;-)

They figure about another 6-7 days of this and then it will warm up some.

...but it’s a dry cold and there’s no wind today.

The coldest it has reached in Sunny So. California was last evening @ +17 F and just a little bit of snow the first round.
But then we got it good …..almost 3 ft. Thats not normal for us,we like it warmer around here.

-- Can't never could do anything, to try is to advance.

-32C (-25F) right now, with a 10Km/h wind out of the west…Wind chill would put it around -37C. It’s chilly here tonight. I’m about an hour SE of Lee and Bob.

So we got 6” of the white stuff, then it rained and froze yesterday. My driveway has about a 12” drop over the first 15’, I could not back the truck into the driveway, it stuck and held fast within 15 feet. Usually I am lucky enough to get it into the driveway before getting it stuck so bad we need the skid-steer to pull it out.

Calling for a high of 16F today and I get to go play ski rescuer all day long. Yesterday’s skiing was crappy.

-- Rich, WNY, www.nyrockingchairs.com

It’s about 12 here today, after getting about 1’ of snow last night. So glad I put a new carb on my snowblower this summer – worked like a champ.

It’s so cold:

• It’s colder than a mother in law’s kiss.
• It’s so cold, I saw a lawyer with his hand in his own pocket.

Merry Christmas!

It is so cold, a campfire will freeze in mid-burn. Then we go out and bust up the flames, put the peices in the freezer and use them to spice up chili.

-- Got Wood?

It’s 63 and I’m outside cooking ribs in shorts. It’s supposed to get up to 71 this afternoon. I’m sure that’s not what some of you northern folks want to hear…lol.

-- Measure once cut twice....oh wait....ooops.

We had -14 F, but it has rocketed up to -12 F now.

-30 C today but there is a gradual warming comming over the next week.
