The weather

Tom · January 13, 2009, 10:16:54 AM

It's turned colder, the sky is overcast and hanging heavy with water. Darkening clouds accumulate as the morning grows older and it's raining a slow steady drizzle. It's the kind of weather that brings to mind the description,"Setting in". \

If I could get to town, I'd go visiting.

I don't have enough ~~Blankets~~ mattresses to get under to make it up there. :D

Seems like a long time from today and thursday Warbird.

Warbird · January 13, 2009, 12:29:04 PM

It is supposed to be continually warming between now and then. Lemme tell you, -6°F feel lots better than -47°F! Supposed to have a high of 6°F today, and 14°F tomorrow.

Norm · January 13, 2009, 12:32:20 PM

Well it was -16°F here this morning. If I could only find the guy in Alaska that sent this cold our way...... ;D

Bill Johnson · January 13, 2009, 12:32:39 PM

-8F here right now but with the wind it feels like -33F and its supposed to get cooler tonite.

SwampDonkey · January 13, 2009, 01:35:54 PM

*cough* Nothin' to see here. Move along. Move along. *cough* ;D

SwampDonkey · January 13, 2009, 06:32:00 PM

That kind of cold dry air will take the wind out of any normal man. A deep intake of that cold air makes me cough. :D

farmerdoug · January 13, 2009, 09:29:50 PM

We are at 2°F right now. We do not get as cold as those to the west of the Great Lakes. Until the lakes freeze over they moderate our lows. ;D

Tom · January 13, 2009, 09:33:09 PM

You must have it figured out pretty good. It grows some mighty fine squash. ;D

farmerdoug · January 14, 2009, 05:36:45 AM

-9°F here right now. :

The deer just happen to agree with you, Tom. :D :D :D :D

SwampDonkey · January 14, 2009, 06:37:07 AM

SwampDonkey · January 14, 2009, 07:24:23 AM

Dropping like a stone here Jeff, it's now 18 , windy :

Bill Johnson · January 14, 2009, 07:58:16 AM

-28F here this morning -44F with the windchill, had to plug the car in for the first time last night >:(
Forecast is calling for a couple of more days of the same.

beenthere · January 14, 2009, 09:21:31 AM

Where are you Jeff?

Sayin -2 in Harrison and calm. You up at da swamp?

Gary_C · January 14, 2009, 10:20:48 AM

Wow! I just read the scientific weather forcast and understanding just the highlights is not good. The bulk of this cold air mass from the Yukon is still not here yet. It's just now at the Canadian border and here in Minnesota the next 48 hours is going to be brutal. It says some of the coldest air we have seen in the last five years at least.

And then a warmup for the weekend and then the cold winter weather pattern re establishes itself next week.

Something to look forward to. :

And then last night the weather man showed in Rapid City, SD it was +43 F. That's not that far west of me.

pep · January 14, 2009, 10:31:21 AM

-40 C here at 6:30 am. It's -37 right now. :( :( Its a good day to stay in and stoke the fire.

Cheers

Pep

SwampDonkey · January 14, 2009, 10:37:04 AM

+ 5 F now

Warbird · January 14, 2009, 10:50:12 AM

Hmmm. Looks like we might get back down into the -20's F Sunday evening. If that happens, it will make for a chilly last part of the moose hunting trip.

Hope y'all are staying warm.
