Weather WTF

[KRonn]

Nasty snow storm here in Massachusetts. Heavy wind, snow stopped but the winds are still high and that'll continue through tomorrow apparently. I just cleared a path to my car and to the street, plus cleared out the fire hydrant in front of my house. I'll get out the snow blower tomorrow and do the entire cleanup.

Damn Kronn, you're a hardy chap; the weather won't get you, but the clearing up might one day kill you. 

Anyway happy new year from up North.

Hehe, I was trying to be careful when just clearing a path to the street as the snow was so deep I was getting winded. Not being a young fella anymore I try to be careful with that stuff.    But I didn't want to get out the snow blower yet to do the whole thing as it might snow more over night. Just a path in case of visitors and especially to clear the fire hydrant.

It's in the upper 20s F today, or -2 to -5 Celsius range, and it feels like a heat wave compared to the previous week or two. 

[Barrister]

Huh - they issued a snowfall warning for Edmonton.  10-20cm expected in the next 24 hours.

[Admiral Yi]

36 and the snow is melting.

[KRonn]

Temps are going to hit 40 and 50 F later this week, so much of this snow will melt. Plus a welcome relief to the deep freeze.

We're stuck on about 3-5C with often night-time wet and windy fronts coming in off the Atlantic.

Beautiful

Although there's a certain charm over the frozen flooded fields atm.

3-6 years inches predicted with some saying 6-12. I'll be in my bunker Friday.

Extreme cold warning issued to Edmonton.  Windchills will make the temperature like -40.

Does that make you feel tougher while sitting around in your heated office?

Actually my office, with it's big glass windows, gets fucking cold in temperatures like this.

But not as cold as it feel standing for the bus in -40 windchill weather.

I break out the long underwear under my suit for these kind of temperatures - both for in my office and for the bus.

[Admiral Yi]

Very manly of you to wait for a bus in weather like that Beeb.

What do you use for footwear?

[Barrister]

Loafers.

I mean the long underwear you can't see, but I can't get away with not wearing dress shoes for court.

Actually, I remember running a trial in Beaver Creek, Yukon (Canada's western-most community!).  Trial was in the community hall in the middle of winter.  Accused was some kind of "free man" anti-government type.  "Court" was in the community hall/curling rink.  So we had to set up the folding tables to get ready for court.  It was incredibly cold outside.  It was incredibly cold outside, and I remember a mess of moose blood in the snow outside the community hall from some previous event.

Anyways... it was half-way through the trial that I realized that I was still wearing my Sorel boots through the trial, instead of my dress shoes which I had brought.  I apologized to the judge, who just laughed and said I could carry on.

It was -14C/6.8F this morning.

Man up the lot of you.
