rimetree Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Low of -3F. Haven't gone out of single digits the past two days...can't remember the last time that has happened. Looks like it'll "warm" up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw it into an AFD in late March when we have a 3ft pack and a 3" rainstorm on the way. This is so much easier to do than misery mist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I have to say the drives to work the last couple of mornings have been deep winter. Greater than 10" snowpack the whole way, and double digits below zero the whole way (bottomed out at -22, -21, -21 on the car thermometer).

Sugarloaf1989 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Heatwave here, all the way up to 19F. Time to break out the shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I dropped to 2 last night-was -2 the ngjt before. Interesting discussion. I had forgotten to lower thermostats when we left for 3 days Christmas Day. Maybe it was an inadvertent good move... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Looks like my max will be 9.6F. Pretty damn cold the last 4 days. 12/27 12.2 -5.8 12/28 2.3 -8.7 12/29 2.5 -10.7 12/30 9.6 -9.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to stay under 10F today to see how many consecutive days under 10F. If you can stay under 10F today I bet it is some type of record for you. Last Saturday I hit 33F or today would have been about 10 days so far below freezing. Unless we get a cutter what a long stretch of below 32F this will be..

Hazey Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Has anyone tried the boiling water tossed into the air trick? My girlfriend is in Winterpeg and I got her to do it. Worked awesome but the temp there is -35c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend is in Winterpeg and I got her to do it. Worked awesome but the temp there is -35c. It didn't work at about -12F when I tried it. What was fun was taking boiling water outside and spraying it and making a giant stream cloud. Also running water on the car metal and having it freeze before hitting the ground. I always wanted to try to spit on someone and have it be a frozen ice ball when hitting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the boiling water trick, it has to be at least -30c (-22f) to have a shot. It will never happen in my hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your good for tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday so that would have been 6 days right? Too bad mid week will screw you up or you could have easily broken that record.
