We're about that, too, but are west of the deepest location of the
high--noticed it was 10-15F cooler just 100 mi or so N and E...

But, it's cleared entirely now so it'll definitely be nippy in the AM...

Prediction for Mountain View has dropped every time I've checked the last
couple of hours ... just now it is down to 8° and we're usually about 3° to
5° colder out here in The Holler. And you're right , the upper midwest is a
place I don't wanna be . I saw enough subzero when I lived out in Utahahaha
..
Tonight will certainly test my pipe insulation ! I did go around the
house and trailer today and checked for gaps and holes in the skirting ,
tightened up a few spots and I'm glad I did now . I also made sure the
outside faucet was well insulated - it's upline from the main cutoff to the
house .
I think I'll be loading the stove all the way and cranking it up tonight .

I was just looking at the maps at http://www.weather.com/maps/current and it
looks like it's going to be chilly tonight ... that high is throwing winds
off the north side that come around and head straight for our area .

-2F now, with wind chill of -17F.

-7F expected tonight, it might get up to 11F tomorrow.

The best way to keep beer from freezing is to enclose it in a 37C container.

We're heating up this week in OR. Today was a balmy 48 with a 38 this
morning. We may even have some rain tomorrow night.

It had better not rain Friday, though. That's my HF Run day. I have
to pick up some late Christmas presents for my niece and their
magnesium fire starters are on sale for $2.79. Time to stock up on
those and a few other things.

Heh! I got to go play in the snow for a couple hours this afternoon -
cleared my eight car parking lot plus the puppy pee area and a path
out to the composting facility. The new machine from SWMBO sure can
throw snow - I have to take care not to throw it onto the side street,
the beauty of living on a corner lot where I just dump my snow over
the hedge onto the boulevard.

The fasntastic spring and summer days and the beautiful summers.
Really no nicer place to live 8 months of the year, and most years
the winters are not too bad either. Last year was an exception - and
this year is getting a good start but we DID have a "green christmas".
Generally we have a couple days that hit or go below zero F.

7:08 AM , it was at 1° when I got up at 6:30 and the camper water supply
hose is frozen . Just went out to the shop to get a space heater to put
under the camper , the beer survived just fine . I keep a bottle of water in
that ref so I know when I've cranked it too cold . Under the house temp has
plunged all the way to 45° ... but I'd bet it's a bit colder than that under
the camper , there's a couple of holes like for the black water drain valve
access . Well , now I know how cold it needs to get before I waste water
leaving a faucet dripping .

Sometimes it _IS_ good to be far SW corner! 14F at 11PM expecting
it to be 0F or thereabouts this AM. Instead it's 25F at 7AM on the way
to nearly 50F this afternoon they say before the next front later on

We hit 22*F in Panama City Fl.
I let all the outdoor faucets drip (5). I have some outdoor
pvc pipe run to an ice machine, I unhooked it at the machine
and let it drip.
I tested the greenhouse thermostat with an icewater bath to make sure
the pump would come on to heat the greenhouse with groundwater. I heard
the pump running 4 times last night so I expect all is good.

It probably would be warmer. Take a look at today's jet stream, and
then take a look at the pressure isobars. Resistance to Arctic air
masses is very low in much of North America right now.

leaving a faucet dripping .

We hit 20F this morning (Georgetown, Texas). I've seen colder. But
like most houses down here on slabs, the pipes are in the attic. I
let some faucets drip any time it gets down to the mid 20's. It just
ain't worth the risk. And no, I don't miss having a basement at all.

If we're lucky it might get above freezing here today ... as soon
as the wife gets up I'll go out and thaw the camper hose , it was
OK at 3° at 3AM , at 6:30 and 1° it was frozen . But I know from
experience where it froze and how to thaw , just need to have
someone to turn it off inside when it lets go .

Hmm. Central NJ, 7 deg. F when I got up at 5:00 AM, 8F now, and it's
going up to 20F today! It won't touch freezing until Sunday (33F),
and then it dips again.

Just think how bad it would be without global warming :-)

I'm sure glad I swallowed that coffee before I read that .

Surprise surprise , it wasn't frozen where I thought it would be . THe
hose is apparently frozen under the hall to the camper . I'll get under
there and get it thawed in a bit , and put some insulation over it where it
runs across the ground .

We hit 22*F in Panama City Fl.


My home is east, northern, central florida, near Palm Coast.

It got down to 35 there, but I'm up in Radford VA (Southwestern VA, just
below the Blue Ridge) doing a new machine installation at the Army
Ammunition plant.

They predicted 5F this a.m. It got down to 1. It got all the way UP to
22 today, and is expected back down to 10-12 tonight, but not nearly so
bad as this a.m., because the wind has settled down since the front went
through.

My son hates the cold, and his company recently moved to Boston. He
went "south" for college -- Lexington, VA, not far from you -- and he
thought Boston would be awful for the cold. But I pointed out to him
that Boston was only 4 degrees colder than Lexington today.

So much for the balmier weather in southwest Virginia.

The official temperature for Boston can be substantially milder than
the surrounding area because the airport is next to the harbor.

And he lives near the airport. Fortunately, they don't care where he
works, so he worked from hom this week. Next week he'll work from Ann
Arbor, MI, which, conveniently, is where his girlfriend lives. g

-20C up here in Central Ontario - -30C Wind Chill.
-20 is about 2 below zero F.

"Why do people _live_ in areas like that?" he asked, most seriously.
Other than the two very nice summer days you have each year, I mean.
The fasntastic spring and summer days and the beautiful summers.
Really no nicer place to live 8 months of the year, and most years
the winters are not too bad either. Last year was an exception - and
this year is getting a good start but we DID have a "green christmas".
Generally we have a couple days that hit or go below zero F.

Doesn't most of Canada (Eastern 2/3) have fairly high humidity during
the summer and fall?

We had 39F fog for most of the day. It got up to 43, but is now back
down to 39 again, and it's still foggy. Medium driveable fog, not pea
soup thick London fog, thankfully.

Some shiny -metal- came to me from China today. Ten of those knotting
tools. They're mighty nice. Tumbled edges, laser etched Xtools logo,
and just 83 cents apiece, delivered. I may get more to keep around.

Store it in a refrigerator. That'll warm it up.

Thursday I was on a roof 25' up and patching thin spots with a
urethane elastomer, working in shorts and a T-shirt and wishing it was
cooler. 74F in Chino California

Today (Saturday) it was down to a fridged 52F
