jannusguy2 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just watching the news and saw some video of downtown Chicago. Glad to be where I am. 68 degrees with all my windows open. Sorry for rubbing it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Oh man that looks good. The blizzard is just south of me now, we're gonna get hit in the next 45 minutes. 10" to 12" forecast for tonight, and 4" to 6" tomorrow, all of that and lovely blizzard conditions to boot. Brutal.

zombywoof Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yesterday we had ice fog all day which gave everything a nice glaze. Then the snow and wind started. This afternoon there were already drifts out there of several feet and the wind chill is around 8 below. Good news is the snow will taper off after midnight. Bad news is we will wake up to wind chills of 20 to 30 below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-200 Koa Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Projected low the next two nights: 10 to 12 above. That is just south of Dallas! How do you guys up north tolerate this all winter long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 This weekend the mercury dipped to -30 celsius plus a windchill on top of that! It's been nasty. On the upside, I got some decent guitar practice in! Look at my poor little truck. Four wheel drive baby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just got a call from my boss - - - - my place of business has decided to shut down for tomorrow. . . . . Yeah baby ! My wife's a school teacher, and that's been called off too. We've got a blizzard warning in effect until Wednesday 7:00pm. It's really bad here.

Or are they just in storage somewhere? Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guth Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Here in Oregon, the price we pay each winter is plenty of gray, damp days. Overall, the climate here is fairly mild all year. We have a true four seasons with a few cold spells in the winter and some heat waves in the summer. When it does snow here, it doesn't stick around too long (yet there is plenty up in the mountains should you want to go play in it) and it's not humid here in the summer. Overall I find the climate here suits me much better than things back in Texas. On the other hand, I've got plenty of friends back in Texas that wouldn't have it any other way. To each their own. Growing up in the midwest, I saw more than enough snow — so here's wishing those of you buried in the white stuff all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryp58 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Man! I don't see how you folks can live where it gets that cold! Down South here, it was around 50 degrees yesterday. We have had some snow and freezing temps, but spring is just around the corner! Won't be long and I'll be on the lake trolling some jigs for some of those "slab" crappies and playin' bluegrass music outdoors at all the bar-b-ques! Can't wait!

DJScott Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Walked to work yesterday @ -26F with wind chills @ -45F. Probably should have put a hat on but it really wasn't that cold. Many years ago, while I was still active duty Air Force, I launched my airplane, (B-52), in -35F ambient with -108F wind chill. THAT was pretty cold!

vincentw Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hope all you guys are running humidifiers. Don't let your acoustics dry out while the heat is cranked. put some lemon oil on the fretboards too. 35% - 55% humidity conditions are ideal.

zombywoof Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hallelujah Brothers & Sisters. It may be 4 degrees right now but the wind has died down, the sun is out, the plow came through around midnight, and the schools are still closed (our new school superintendent seems to be a bit more skitish than the last one) which means I get a second snow day with my daughter. I got the drive cleared off so I am free to get a big old fire going, brew up some Kenya AAA coffee, and do me some pickin.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
