Bitterly cold here today..... -27C feels like -40C on my way to work.  >:(
High today is expected to top out at -18C feels like -26C.

By the way the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales meet at -40.... so that's 72 degrees F below the freezing point of water if anyone is keeping count.....  :crazy2:

That's -40 F wind chill for the math impaired.

We had that earlier this year. Schools got cancelled. It's incredibly cold.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Looks like another big load of the white stuff tonight. Man, I am so tired of shoveling.  :(

The bulk of this latest storm stayed off shore. Not snowing now at 8am and only 3-4 inches of new accumulation. Windy and cold though and I think a Wampa is denning in my backyard. Should help keep the squirrel count down.

Not in Boston  They said it would go to maybe 8 inches and we are at over 14 in our Neighborhood today.  I need to post some pictures since I feel like I am starring in the Finnish Winter war with all the chest high snow trenches we have.  I officially have non drifted snow at over 5 feet with drifts at 7 to 8

A friend of mine posted some photos of the kids in the neighboring apartment complex wearing full ski-suits doing "high-dives" off the second floor balconies - cannonballs, swan dives, etc.  The hard part was climbing out of the 8 feet of snow they were diving into

At least you apologized to MD. Few, if any, of us actually do that after dropping a pun bomb, which generally explodes messily with little accuracy. We do, however, endeavour to drop a pun that might take a minotaur two to actually 'get.' :)

Thanks, bes, your apology is accepted.  Just don't find yourself in the company of those truculent reprobates.  They are up to no good and you will only find a bad ending with them.

So, did I see this correctly on the news.  The environmental left is blaming on man made climate change.  Do to the very high amounts of snow, the city of Boston borrowed machines to melt the snow.  What is the GHG out of these machines.  Now, because of the new snow fall, they're thinking of dumping it into the ocean.  Why isn't this being done already.  Why do they need snow melting machines.  Is the snow being melted in the machines coming out cleaner than when it went in as snow.  If the snow naturally melts, will it go into the oceans cleaner than if they dumped it straight in.

^HA good question.

Con DON'T EAT SULLY!!

About 10 degrees here right now. We got a couple of inches more snow yesterday...we have some 4-5 foot high drifts. Makes for interesting driving.

My in-laws have been in Hawaii for the last month. I've been taking care of their house. Today while checking their boiler and some random rooms the wind began to howl. I could not help but feel like Shelly Duvall.
