How cold is it?

[Buster]

This was from 2 weeks ago. -35 Celsius converts to -31 F. Sounds like southern BC is going to be in this range in the next day or 2 again. Tough on critters.

Temps have hit -23 at least twice in southeast WY this winter. Windchill well into the -40's. Keep wondering when it's going to get cold here.

After the winter we have been having here in the Midwest I'm at my whits end. Sick of it. Negative temps every day. Snow every other.

I need to move somewhere else

Heh, it can't make up its mind here. A foot of snow a couple weeks ago. Then temps pushing 60. Got up close to 50 today and then we have another foot of snow coming Sunday followed by temps below 0. I like that we get doses of all for seasons here but it would be nice if it wasn't all in the same the week period.

Its been cold here in Nodak all winter. I thought it was done but the high tomorrow is supposed to be -10 and the low -28. Hopefully it only lasts a few more days and starts to warm up. Hard to work in this weather

About 10 days ago it hit -20F at my house. It's been snowing and then snowing and then snowing again. Missoula usually does not get dumped on as the mountains on either side of the valley take the hit and we are called the banana belt of the state. Never seen a banana tree growing though. It's about 0 degrees right now and supposed to get a little colder tonight. The bad part is now with all this snow we have it's supposed to have winds of 30mph with gusts up to 50 mph. Should make it fun and wind chills in the -45 F range.

On the north side of town there is a drainage called the Rattlesnake named after the creek that comes out of the mountains. Right near town the mountains have houses right at the bottoms of them. They rise up and are mostly grass covered until there are patches of timber on the top and some of the draws, but mostly open for a mile or so until it hits a lot of timber. The slopes are 60-75% I would safely estimate and there are houses right next to where the hill starts up to the sky and climbs roughly 2500-3000 feet straight up. Today at about 4:30 PM an avalanche came down one hill and wiped out a two story house. Several people inside were able to pull themselves out of the debris and mess, but one young teenager was caught under the snow. Last I heard is hundreds of neighbors came to help immediately and found the kid and got him out. Not sure how he is doing. Hopefully he makes it. House was destroyed.

I love the snow and winter, but I sure am praying for this family.

40 degrees in Anchorage, AK today at my place. ready for spring but still time to get back in the freezer for a month or two before May and real thoughts of spring...

Update on the Rattlesnake (Missoula) avalanche--They found the kid and also an elderly couple who were buried...finally found the woman around 7:30. We live 3 blocks down...Cops just knocked on our door and said "This isn't an evacuation order, but you should probably leave." Apparently some snowboarders set the thing off...

Just moved to NE from central CA.... It's 19 now but we've seen as low as -13 in the last 2 weeks. I don't mind the cold but it's not enjoyable...in CA I hunted/fished or scouted 12 months a year and when I arrived in Ne people kept telling me how much I'll enjoy the hunting..... Really? All I've done here is workout and drink.... A vicious cycle

 

[tim tarras]

-30 here this morning.

 

[kodiakfly]

43* today....and SUN!!

 

[Buster]

Hit -30 again this morning (with a nice stiff breeze to go with it) in the east kootenays. I think I'll just stay in the truck at work today.

We are in the 50's. But most witners we are -20 in town and about -30 without windchill where i work.

 

[spdcrazy]

like others have said, it seems like Alaska can't make up its mind. makes it nice at times because i can hike like its summer one week, and snowboard in fresh powder the next.

Drinking some coffee before I go to work.. Will be basically working outside on a new construction home. I'm wearing my FL EXP and SD gear underneath.. Should be fun!
