Already -33? chill factor out here.
Over forty degree temp drop less than one hour.
I grew up in Minnesota, things are just getting exciting. Imagine this for the entire month of January and February.
I dropped my boys off to hunt whitetails. By the time I got back home about 2 miles later it dropped about 30 degrees. They made a beeline back to the house. They have shot 3 so far, 2 more to go before the 1st.

It?s just a way for folks to be personally invited to return to California.
Maybe they'll take their wolves with them.Quote:

Currently we have -1F with 8 inches of fresh snow. Forecast to hit -9F overnight. I think there's a temperature inversion because it's colder in Boulder.
Cordova is coastal and a bit south. I saw -21 yesterday, but today got to single digits…..all pretty normal for here. I guess my point is you guys have this for a couple days, this is 4-6 months for us.Quote:

Yeah, I always compare our weather to the interior of Alaska.
I stopped at King Soopers yesterday on the way home from work. Some chick in yoga pants, zip hoodie and crocs said “I didn’t think it was going to get this cold”.
Dumbass
And then there was an older guy in sweatshirt, shorts and flip flops leaving and makes the astute observation ”It got cold”.
Dumbass
I had a weird dream that my company was trying to send me to Antarctica. Reflecting back on it, maybe I should have accepted. Seems it might be a little warmer there right now.

It is summer there currently.
The kids place, they're building in MT is 40 mi from the canuk border. Their friends saw -30 something. AND she wonders why we have no motivation to move up there, once they retire, soon.Quote:

It a supposed calculation of how cold it "feels" to exposed skin.
Feels to whom? Enos the Eskimo is going to feel differently in a cool breeze than Jose from Guatemala.
Neither is going to walk around naked in subzero weather.
My thermometer currently shows -4. That's impressively cold for Denver without the "feels like" hype.
I was shooting sporting clays at Kiowa at 2:30 yesterday with a light jacket that I almost took off. By dinner it was neg 5. Nuts.
There's a weather station at Winter Park currently reading -14deg and clocking 100mph gusts. Yuck.

If you think there is no difference between -4? with no wind and -4? with 20 mph wind you are willfully ignorant and foolish.Quote:

That is reserved for the wood burning AC unit.Quote:

That said, I've been in Midland during winter weather and it's a different beast because the ice is much worse and no one knows how to handle it. We had to drive to El Paso to catch flights home because that was the nearest airport still open.

That's not really what wind chill is, but OKQuote:

Got the unpowered animal sheds covered pretty decent. Side by side "rooms", chicken water isn't freezing. Donkey/goats is. Not sure if just smaller pan I had for them vs actually getting more breeze in there. Been giving hot mash and offering warm water every 6 hours or so. Hope one last round at 10pm works thru 1am, but think temp is supposed to stay stable at like 2-4degree's. Not quite the warm winter I was hoping for out here. (Fine if I was still in CO streets just work commuting, here little trickier with old farm house of questionable insulation, and taking care of animals, and road crews that have more limited capabilities. My work was actually shutdown, waiting to see what they do tommorow as I'd think conditions near the same.
