Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.

Re: Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.

A balmy minus teens in the Red River Valley this morning.

Wind chills in the -40s.

Lovin' it.

Hadn't seen this before. (You will have to make the obvious url switch.)
 
Re: Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.

The temperature is up to -4. Yes, I said up.

I joked last night that Wunderground had Minneapolis' high temp listed at "--" for Sunday and Monday. Going through the graphs, the high was about -10 for those days. Whee.

Two negatives make a positive, right? You're warming up! :D

My father used to say with, I shudder to think, genuine enthusiasm, "It's 25 below, but the sun is shining and there is no wind!"

25 below with the sun shining and no wind is great ice fishing weather.

It is, and for him, nearly anything else you had to do outside. Except, ironically, hockey. He coached the real little ones in his later years, and they had a hard time with the deep cold, especially the feet. Old indoor but cold air rink.

Unless you've experienced it and the alternatives, you don't realize how right that man is.

It is remarkable how warm -- even hot -- direct sunlight can be in sub-zero temperatures, provided there is absolutely no wind.

People think I park my ride facing south in the winter to keep the radiator out of the north wind and having blow full of snow.

No, I do it for the solar seat and steering wheel warmer.
