Nobody knows there is a Sturgis Mi. ‘cept those who have lived there. For me it must have been in the 50s when I was a tyke. Lived by the lake.

Still own part of 40 acres outside of Reed City. Fantasized about retiring there ha ha ha ha.

True. Hercules impacts millions! Live team coverage!

[crusty old prospector]

Dang that is cold. Not sure what is worse - the arctic weather up north or the 100+ days of summer in Texas. At least it will eventually warm up above zero up there. We never get a break unless a hurricane comes in.

[Lurker]

Go Niners! Should be a hell of a game.

[spokeshave]

Nonsense. The polar ice caps are melting and seas are rising.

...But did not our grate leader Brakabama say:

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow,and our planet began to heal.

Welcome King Barack "Canute" Obama the Great.....

...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...

....to increase it's magnetic field....

and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....

(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.

The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.

Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.

Cold wave from Canada dropped down about to DC and stayed for 2 weeks. Hi temp? About 20 below.

I was a little skeptical of what you were saying and looked it up...sure enough, -18 at Dulles.

Must have been frozen pipes and frozen government workers galore.

I used to work for a company down to Sturgis bringing repo cars back from around the midwest.

I also worked in Reed city when I lived in Evart.

All that fracking for natural gas will come in handy.

[madison10]

You’ve heard they’ve found oil recently in Michigan, right? Think it was regular drilling, not fracking, though.

It’s winter for God sake. Stay in the dam house. All of sudden Americans can’t handle a few months of winter.

Yes, it IS winter, but after the last ten plus years of fairly mild winters there are those who may have forgotten, or not yet experienced such extremes, especially the freezing temperature.

[rlbedfor]

I had not. That is good too. All the arrows in the quiver.

[Grams A]

I love cold weather!”

I prefer that the temp never be lower than my age. Since you like the cold, please go north for the rest of the winter and take the cold with you. You can return in the spring.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

There are advantages to working from home. :)

The only thing I am in danger of is running out of marshmallows for the hot chocolate. And if worse comes to worse I can switch to whipped cream.

[diverteach]

50 for a high here in Florida tomorrow and it’s freezing. Going to have to break out the blue jeans and socks.LOL!

[madison10]

:P

[Ditter]

I am 73 how old are you grammie?

[driveserve]

With football and the unseasonable cold weather here in San Diego, I can’t see myself leaving the house. Socks and blue jeans are just not appropriate in 75-degree weather...

[Cold Heart]

It was part of my job to read the all caps weather reports.
It is no longer my job, I don’t read them anymore. Any format but that.
