Someone set up us the bomb.... make your time.
It was 9 degrees F this 5AM, 11 yesterday, kitchen H2O cold side was frozen. Left cabinet door open w/house heat at 71F and a ceramic space heater blowing into open cabinet. Finally got it thawed at 4PM today. All sink cabinets are open tonight.
Get paid in the AM and will go see if any supplies left at stores. Not critical here supply wise but never hurts to have spares.
If it gets real bad then We might have to Wok the Dogs (not dressed out over 180 pounds) <;o)
My main concern is loss of power to run heater blower and TV/Net. Got a gas stove/oven if things get bad. Gas H2O Heater so as long as` the Municipal H2O keeps the pumps running We got H/C H2O!
16 now headed to 12 so they say.
GloBULL warming My A$$!!!
86-87 I was training at Ft. Devens, MA. It wasn’t very nice. Back then, though, we just called it “Winter.” Now, everything is an event.
Seems like Al keeps his head down to avoid incoming shots when the temperatures drop into the below freezing range.
Hard to argue global warming is going to destroy the planet when most everyone in the US is wishing we could get a some of that global warming is their neighborhood right about now.
Well, I know I don’t have to worry, because Al Gore promised me I’d be dead from gerbil worming before this happened.
and climate “scientists” have already explained to us how “global warming” makes things a lot colder ...
I’m in the target zone...
“A major winter storm is expected to affect New Brunswick Thursday.
Long range models are coming into better agreement with the track of this storm. Current guidance shows it approaching from the southwest and passing over western Nova Scotia Thursday night. Potential impacts from this storm include possible power outages, deteriorating travel conditions or delays, and potential school disruptions.
Precipitation: Snow will develop Thursday near noon and spread northward across the province with a changeover to rain possible in the southeast* Thursday night. Snowfall estimates of 20 to 40 cm are expected for most of the province.
Wind: Northeasterly winds will strengthen with gusts near 90 km/h along coastal areas late Thursday afternoon or evening. The winds will shift Thursday night and strong northwesterly winds will persist across the province. Strong winds combined with snow will give poor visibilities in blowing snow during the storm.
Storm Surge: Potential for coastal impacts along the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of St. Lawrence shorelines from large waves and elevated water levels.”
*that’s me. I’m not sure if rain is good or bad.
Followed closely by freezing temps, not good. Combined with power outages, yuck.
Today, dec 2nd it was 50F, in Big Lake Alaska.
Thats 11 miles north of Wasilla, or as the raven flies about 35 miles north of Anchorage.
Melted virtually all the snow from my roof and sheds, periodic rain right now and maybe some light snow tomorrow.
Quite a bit warmer the last two months, hardly any snow.
Usually its not warmer than 10 above, instead its near 30f.
Only had a couple of nights of sub zero temps.
stay warm Freepers. Maybe the younguns will gain a new appreciation for the harsh and stark conditions that kept much of America unsettled to begin with and that determined American settlers endured to conquer this country.
If only POTUS Trump had signed the Paris Accord, this wouldn’t be happening.
Millions of Liberal types believe ^^THIS^^ to be true.
Just sayin’...
Lets see if the North Easterners will react like Texas coast people did and selflessly help each other.
Nor’easters are every bit as capricious as hurricanes. It could veer out to sea with little effect other than heavy surf. It could veer inland pulling impressive snow totals much farther south. Or it could turn into one of those once-a-decade snow-bomb white hurricane deals by stalling out in just the right place to keep pumping moisture into the record cold. We’ve seen over two feet of snow from that before even in semi-tropical southeastern North Carolina coastal areas. Roofs collapse because they’re not built for that kind of load, they have to call out the National Guard because they have next to no snow removal equipment, don’t need it at all the vast majority of the time. I’ve always said I’ll gladly take two feet of snow over 2 inches of ice any time, though. A very heavy ice storm is a nightmare, you can’t even sleep if there are large trees anywhere near the house, hearing them popping and cracking all night, just waiting for one to crash through the roof.
‘Bombogenesis’ seems to be this season’s meteorological buzz word...remember ‘polar vortex’? With the current cold wave, I am surprised the media hasn’t been jamming that one down our collective throats.
Just leave conservatives alone...
Yea, whatever.
I live in Maryland. It’s going to be high single digits at night the next few days. That’s all anyone will talk about.
But, I got ‘em. When I was filling up with gas in Toledo yesterday, it was -10. (real temp)
They always freak out when I tell them I’ve tent camped at -7.
It’s so cold, Hillary feels warm.
