Whats ESD?

Extra sensory deception. It's why a drunk feels warm just as he freezes to death.

 

My front porch thermometer earlier this morning:



I don't quite know whether to believe it or not. A couple miles away where the 'official' thermometer is showed -27°F. It's common for us to vary a few degrees from that location. Either way, that was the lowest I've ever seen in 27 years in this house.

I have a cool little temperature logger in our 3-season room that I can access any time with my phone. It dropped to -18°F last night and it's looking ominous for tonight. It started dropping like a rock even before the sun went down.

I like it when the thermometer hits -40° ... that way I don't have to do unit conversions in my head!

I’m planning on seeing that in the morning. It’s falling below-20 right now.

Yup, we saw -29°F for an the official record low and my porch was right in line showing -30°F, a little warmer than the morning before.
It's a balmy -8°F now and snowing again. I broke my snow shovel.

First, so where is this or is it just a star wars pic?

Second, last night we had thunder with rain, but I'm not sure if the thunder produced was sort of snow thunder, is there such a thing. It sounded as if bombs going off, it shook the house for at least a minute, I asked what the hell was that, my wife said it's supposed to rain tonight it's thunder.

It's a mashup between a scene from SWTESB and the Chicago skyline.

I thought it was both clever and funny.

A rare natural phenomenon which makes it look like wheels of snow have been rolled on their own has been captured in photos.

 

Midwest this time of year!

Max.

 

Ice on the roads almost warmed things up a bit.

NE Glisan might just have it as the iciest street this morning. No slush, no snow, just sheer ice. Car could not stop and slid into turning gasoline tanker.

Yeah, things have been pretty tough here, too.

Lots of Canadian geese heading south today. Looks like snow starting again Friday for about a week non-stop if the models are right.

 

OK!

Thank you!

 

I've got an inch of ice covering my sidewalks and driveway. Used up the last of my salt so the wife could get up the hill.

Mainly snow here last night but the roads are a slick mess near Portland. Took the teen out in the car (with snow tires) to do donuts in the empty store parking lot so she could feel what losing control in a car is like. Great fun!

I live a little east of this store. Looks like the new arrivals from down south are stocking up for the "snowpocalypse".

To be fair there almost no snow equipment in the city to handle 4 inches and we expect up to a foot later.
