Thread: Weather

I looked at your temp. this morning and it was 41 degrees, not really beer drinking weather, especially this early, but it's better than it was up by Duluth yesterday morning where it was a -41.

40 and raining. Good recipe for hypothermia. but there was a still a bunch of trucks & boat trailers at the ramps this morning.
No thanks, I will pass.

Cant imagine -41, lowest I remember growing up in northeast PA was around -9, that was bad enough.

... with a north wind @ 15-20 = about -40 degree wind chill.

I bet that Duluth temp is a 'dry cold' ;-) LOL

I admire the toughness and adaptability of anyone who lives somewhere that freaking cold. Those who regularly have to shovel their cars out of the snow just to get to work, own and regularly use snow blowers and have to drill holes in the lake to get to the fish. I envy you not. It was 20 in NOALA this morning with a 10 mph ENE wind. Cold enough that I opted to postpone a hunting trip to watch bowl game reruns on my only day off this week. Cabin fever and a shortage of Milos sweet tea cold possibly get me out of the house this afternoon.

I'm happy to say that I wasn't there to know what the wind or the humidity was, I tried to check it out and I couldn't find the little town NW of Duluth that had it. It was a town that I had never heard of and I can't remember the name of it. It was on the news last night. Today is the first day with the temperature above 0 in a while, it's +5 right now and it is supposed to hit +12, but it's snowing. Usually, when it warms up, it snows. That's the way it is in the second "Happiest State in the Union". I think we are happy because we drink a lot of beer. Maybe not?

Looks like we will get a 'taste' of that polar weather at the pier early next week...
National Weather Service

Low New Years morning 35
Low Tuesday morning upper 20s
Low Wednesday morning near 30

At least the high temp those days will allow thawing (above freezing).
Still C-O-L-D for us Suthern bred boyz ;-)

I hope you were cutting firewood, cause I think you are going to need it!!!! Makes a guy feel good when he comes in the house.

The economics of keeping materials and equipment to de-ice just do not compute down here. Just be sure not to run out of beer and milk.
