OH MAN IT'S COLD!!

[onetrickpony]

Southern NH, we've had a few cold nights in my years, but this is unusual. I'll have to update my profile. I'm kinda tempted to try one of the kids' super soakers to see if it freezes before it hits the ground...

24F in Dallas with wind chill depressing that to 10F. I experienced this for all of ~90 seconds walking out to my car to get something and it took another 10 minutes to recover those lost BTU's. When the wind blows, it sucks.

 

[H-Man]

55F. I'm glad that socal is out of the cold snap because I can't afford to fix the heater.

Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around -7. Wind chill values as low as -25. West wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.

It's Friday and I don't have anything going on tomorrow, so I think I'll sleep outside in my hammock tonight. I've been down to around 5°F comfortably while backpacking (on a calm night), but I want to test sub-zero.

80 Degrees here! :)

We're headed for well below zero tonight.

 

[Capolini]

We are getting that colder air tomorrow night. Tonight ~ 8F ,,,Tomorrow nights low is b/w -2F and -5F! Capo will be in heaven!
Poor Boston area is going to get hammered again.I wish we would get a decent snow fall! Instead we are getting 50/60MPH winds tomorrow w/ the feeble 2" or 3" of snow tonight!

I LOVE THE POOCH,,,,,,,,,,Had to put his winter time pic. up again!

 

[PhotonWrangler]

What a beautiful dog, Capolini. I don't blame you for sharing his picture again.

I really feed badly for the folks in New England. They just keep getting hammered over and over. Stay safe everyone.

Yesterday, I paid $800 (+$40 tip) to have five feet of snow shoveled off my roof. :eek:

Another 14 inches expected tonight and tomorrow. :shakehead

Wow!! Sorry to hear that,,why so much? Big house or many hours of labor,both?!

First off, supply and demand is at play with so many roofs needing to be cleared coupled with limited manpower. Most roofing companies are so busy that many aren't even answering their phones right now. I was fortunate to have a friend who referred me to two guys who were shoveling roofs for friends.

It took them about six hours to clear the roofs of my 1600 square ft. 60 y/o house and detached garage. They also had to snow blow all the snow that fell on my front and back stairs and walkway.

It may seem like a lot of money, but there are news reports of roofs collapsing all over the state and I need piece of mind.

It's a little late now, but they sell roof rakes for snow removal. They come thru with 3 or 4 six foot handle extensions to allow you the reach needed to remove the snow from the ground provided you have a single story house.

The key to heavy snow removal is to work at it every 4-6 hours, just like snow-blowing.

When I built my new shop this past spring, I had trusses built using 5/12" pitch made out of #1 2x6 lumber spaced 16" on center. Topped with 23/32" CDX plywood. The PE that did the truss design rated the roof at 65 pounds snow load, twice the state requirement.

Capolini, you've got a good looking little boy.

 

[Capolini]

Thanks :D,,,,, He is very handsome,gets compliments all the time.

"Little Boy!? What do you have a Newfoundland or a Mastiff?! lol.

 

[NoNotAgain]

Had Belgian Shepherds for many years. Couldn't stand losing them at around 10 years of age. As you know, large dogs don't live as long as small dogs do. Duke was 135 pounds while King was only 125.

Work constraints dictated that I could no longer have a dog, so I got cats. Not as easy to take for a walk, but easier to take care of.

 

[AMD64Blondie]

Bah humbug..only 52 degrees F here in Portland,OR.

Too warm.Where's the 20s and snow I need in February?

 

[jabe1]

Five below here in Cleveland at 8am. It's stupid cold...

 

[Matrix 100]

-13 Fahrenheit in Toronto

North Eastern Pennsylvania, we've seen our high of 5 already today. Dropping all day, down to negative 10 or so tonight. The wind is the killer, steady 20mph with gusts over 40 well into tomorrow. Yay! Makes walking the dog fun, and the drifting snow across the roads and driveway is a treat. Snow's better than a foot deep on the sides, and driveway fills right up when it's this windy. Soon enough, we'll start an "Oh, man is it hot!" thread... Hang in there, Boston...

SE Pennsylvania,,historic Valley Forge area!!!

It is amazing what the wind can do w/ 2" of a feeble snow fall! There was a snow drift about 2' high and he dove in it! Then he buried his head in it! I was happy for my awesome Siberian[Capo] being that we have had ~ 10" of total snow fall this year.:shakehead Last year was the second most in Philadelphia history[I live 30 miles Northwest]. That was ~ 68".

Capo is 4. With the exception of last year we have had not much snow. That is when I go 6 hours North to beautiful and COLD/SNOWY Lake Placid, New York. The low temp. Tonight for Lake Placid is suppose to be -25F!! Here around -5F.

This morning it was 3F[5 degrees colder than their forecast!] ~-15 CF].........I walked CAPO for about an hour,,it was refreshing! You guys in cold area and colder than my area know the deal! You dress properly and it is not a big deal!

Capo is the only Dog in the neighborhood that does not have a man made coat!!!,,,,,,,,,,He is the only Husky or cold weather Dog!
