I'm only 20° colder

This is a snip of the Ambient PWS network around my area. In the middle you can see my -5°. KMPV stands out at 5° above as the only station above 0°. Not sure if that is an error or if it is from the siting of their equipment.

-2.5/-10.7. It was 28 at midnight.

Well that escalated quickly. White out conditions and the temp is down to 21°

Front must be here. The wind is starting to roar. Still 25°

Would be funny to see Kevin lose his bet to Ginx almost immediately.

Yea, it’s a place called the Bunker Inn.

I think he was talking about this picture.

You only need one thing

I remember the -38. I was busted for driving with a suspended license (the result of a youthful indiscretion a couple of years earlier) and had to get a ride to work with my boss. Since he also gave his wife and one of her colleagues a ride to National Life, I was forced to ride in the back of his pickup. It had a cap and he opened the sliding windows between the cab and the cap and gave me a blanket but I’ll never forget hearing the radio reports of the temps that morning and the -38 particularly stuck in my mind.

I’ll be staying at the old Loring Air Base. It’s the winter meeting/ride of the northeast snowmobile associations. PA, NY, the New England states and the eastern Canadian provinces, except Quebec. Ride during the day and meetings at night starting Wednesday. I’m going up early to ride with a friend’s daughter and future son in law who bought a pre-cast concrete business in Presque Isle last year.

That’s dryslot’s. I believe it’s a 2007.

Heading to Caribou Sunday for the week.

There was a Sasquatch movie that came out when I was 10 or 11 that scared me to death. It re-enacted supposed encounters. I used to go to the movies most Saturday afternoons and just remember not being able to sleep that night. Lol

And Bigfoot never crossed your mind?

Yeah, that was me, I think. I’m definitely worried about a short season. It’s a curse, we get snow and things are good but I’m always worried about what comes later. I need to just enjoy the present first.

Hopefully you punished him appropriately?

Wasn’t there a poster on here who was going to spend a weekend there recently? As I recall, he didn’t talk about it much.

About an inch here too. And I agree, it’s been a nice wintry stretch.

I saw -30 on a bank thermometer (always known for their accuracy) walking to school in Barre, VT in 6th or 7th grade. Stopped at Dunkin Donuts and got a hot chocolate and had the same spill experience as the poster above. A couple of years later heard a radio announcer say it was -40 in Randolph, VT. That was in the way to school too, the bus driver had the local country station playing.

Not skiing but this was the first weekend that widespread snowmobiling has been available and I can’t remember the last time I saw so many people on the trails. It was crazy. And I only got about 10 miles from home before we had to limp my buddies sled back home.

I’ve only been to Millinocket to ride. I’m looking forward to it.

They had something in the Globe magazine from him this morning. I couldn’t bring myself to read it.
