Maybe just the wind speed instead

Gusts of 11mph!!

On the morning news they showed a Tweet from someone in Alaska, "Please send our weather back."  Out of curiosity I checked the current weather in Barrow, Alaska this morning. We were at -13 F and Barrow was a balmy -9 F. I must say, getting a bit tired of the media focus on the weather though. Several days ago they [media] were saying "it is colder then Anchorage, Alaska!" Anything for shock value, Anchorage is not all that different from Michigan because of its location. It is cold, no question, we had our share of snow so far already this season, but all you need to do is dress for it. Life will go one folks. 

Correct about the media hype.  Stores around here were mobbed.  People acting like they would be stuck at home for months. I talked to a couple of cashiers today and they said it was crazy.  What are you going to do with 9 loaves of bread for 1 week ??

Damn, those are almost gale force. I bet those make you feel extra cold and uncomfortable.

The first year I lived in Southeast  Alaska, (94) I braced myself for the Alaskan winter. I did not know any better, but with 3' of snow by Thanksgiving I thought it was pretty normal, and didn't know any different. Everyone else was saying wtf to the record snowfall..

PFFFT! You whiners have got it easy, it was a shade under 80 deg F here today so I took my 'Wang for a ride wearing my open face helmet, and now I've got a sunburned face! My poor beautiful face is as red as a baboons arse!

[demon78]

#$%*! Roads closed again today, snow squall warning, at least no blizzard warning, it must be getting better, I wonder why I ever moved to Ontario sometimes, I could have stayed in California (nah) or B.C.
Bill the demon.

Blizzard in 2009, taking snow bath.

Hey Terry..."and your face is your lively hood."

My county lowered it to a level 2 road warning today so off to work I went. A level 2 basically means the roads still suck and they would prefer you stay off the roads and oh yeah the roads were slick big time, nothing but hard packed snow and ice. I left for work about 15 mins earlier than I normally would and got there right on time.

Ha ha, that's it John, this face has got me thru many doors over the years, sadly most of them were marked, "Exit"............

Last week or so in my neck of the woods its been either down right COLD!! or warmer but raining like crazy. But today the sun is out and it looks like its going to be in the mid 50's. So the CB's are coming out

[Johnie]

Oh sure hall...rub it in...we have ice all over the roads here. The temp is much better and supposed to be 36, but more rain / ice coming tonight. I can slide down my driveway to the road at the moment.

[Terry in Australia]

Man, what I'd give for slipping on my arse on the ice that you guys are all complaining about! The temps here will be in the 90's and 100's all week, so add another 10 degrees in my steel garage and see why my projects will be going nowhere this week.........

[Johnie]

Sounds to me like VACATION TIME AT TERRY'S

Ha ha, no worries John, can you bring some ice over? We'll need it to keep the beer cold!

[Carver]

Out here in FL its a brisk and sunny 80+ degrees. But I know what you guys are going through, we had at least 2 days where it dropped below 70 so I know the struggle 

EDIT: it looks like winter if finally rolling in and we're going to have a deep freeze of about 60 degrees this week.

[Johnie]

Dang Carver...there you go again whining...  

[Duke McDukiedook]

Finally got the CB out yesterday and put her through the paces and got a VFR out to ride to work this morning.
37F when I got out the door so not too bad.

[Vicman]

Not quite 40 here but the roads are dry so I took the 73 out at lunch.
This is becoming my favorite kind of nooner.
