Just so you can laugh, the UK came to a standstill last week with 6 inches of snow and -4C

That would bring most of Texas to a complete halt as well. Heck, when I was living in Austin, 1/4 inch of sleet shut the city down.

Which was very nice!

I am 55km north of Lake Superior and the last few mornings it has been -44C without any windchill. Out on the lake it gets well below -50C with the wind. I I love the winter so I am very happy to have some nice cold weather.

-4f much lower with wind chill

would rather the snow than hail storms, Texas has baseball sized ice, all the rental cars were hammered when i went to get one just after it happened

We had a beautiful, calm -4*F this a.m. with a high of only 8*F here on the Pocono plateau. I had to check out a job site down in the flatlands along the Lehigh River all morning. Although it made it up to a balmy 13*F, the wind kicked up to 11-15 mph. It was a might chilly even in my Carhartt bibs and "go to hell" hat.

HA! I remember hiking around Unalaska island the first week of February 1991 in a T-shirt and a flannel when my folks were riding out temps in the low teens and lots of snow. That was a short-lived warm spell, though.

well it warmed up to -21 celcius (-6 Fahrenheit) so I worked on ym truck on my day off. it was not much fun crawling around underneath it today. It'll be back down to -31 again tonight!

**x39** · 01-23-2013, 09:13 PM

-10f in my corner of downeast Maine.

We have +16 degrees (F) here at the homestead.
Sure am enjoying being warmer than many of you folks in the lower 48!
Of course it is not going to last. Suppose to start snowing tonight and continue through Friday, 8 to 12 inches possible.
Then Friday night, temperatures are suppose to start dropping; possibility to -40 or so.
Best Wishes
