Canada needs to stop farting cold air in our direction. 50 below wind chills predicted. Dang it!!! What the
How can it be that cold ALREADY
I just edited my post and added an updated pic of the temperature forecast. I'm so over winter...and it just got started! LOL - Thankfully, the bitter cold is only for a week this time...then up into the 40s...maybe...it keeps changing! LOL

jasoninsd You might as well forget about shoveling outside your garage door, cause at -50° that door isn’t going to open anyway!!! One thing for sure we can say about our Canadian neighbors is you gotta be one tough cookie to live up there! As for those in Siberia, or Tok, Alaska, I just don’t know. Brrrrrr!!

I got that sonofagun dug out today!! That door is NOT going up next week. I'll wait until the week after to open that door. I was worried that the slight warmup today would start a melt inside the drifts (which it WAS doing) and turn the drifts to solid ice once the temps drop again - starting tonight. Once that happens, they're near impossible to move without trying to chip away at them one ice cube at a time. I learned that lesson!! LOL

50 below wind chills predicted. Dang it!!! I guess that means I can't whine that it's going to frost tonight & be in the 20's on Wed night, right ??
OTOH I'm 1400 miles south of you , so I'll whine all I want
Patty ..... sorry for your cold.

Canada needs to stop farting cold air in our direction. 50 below wind chills predicted. Dang it!!! Oh, jasoninsd, you have to be certain to bundle up, maybe add a few more pounds or strap on a furry dog or two. That freezing temperature and high winds will go right through you. How are your parents, wife and the rest of your family doing? You all stay warm, please.

How are your parents, wife and the rest of your family doing? You all stay warm, please. Thank you my friend! It's definitely going to be time to be smart about gloves this week. I think it's going to be one of those "anything metal hurts to touch" kind of weeks! My wife is doing well...well...well enough! LOL - She's not a big fan of the cold like this either. She gets ear aches from the cold wind...so she uses ear muffs most of the time. My mother just flew out this morning in fact to go visit my sister for Christmas...so she's going to miss out on the bitter cold this week. LOL And of course Trigger hates the cold more than any of us I think! Although, he does have a flannel jacket that he wears when he goes out! I'll have to get a picture of tubby-butt wearing his jacket! LOL Been thinking a lot about you...you're still very much in my thoughts and prayers my friend!!

The weather this week has literally shut down the Interstate across South Dakota. There are semi-trucks that are buried in snow at truck stops and in other places there's lines of trucks miles long parked on the side of the road. I told my wife I had heard the shelves were empty...but she must have thought I was pulling her leg. She went to the Walmart and sent me these pictures...

Well dang, I got up today to have a nice cup of coffee and SMACK, got hit right in the head with a snowball from jasoninsd ! When I moved to Oregon the first winter I asked where the snow was, and they told me, "Oh, if you want snow you have to drive to it." But recently I heard they are going to change that motto, to "if you want snow, go to South Dakota"!!! As a side note, I did see our long-term forecast and in 1 week our 40F degree nights are suppose to return, which means I can get my rock tumblers back to work. Whoo Hoo!!!

It was one heck of a long distance throw, that's for sure! LOL It sounds like you guys are going through the same system we are...a week of frigid...then back into the 40s. I hope they have the forecast right...but if it's wrong, I hope it errs on the warmer side! LOL

And I thought it was chilly here in Arizona. It's 55 degrees right now and I'm feeling chilly. I survived -15 in Montana I think it was 2015 but now if it gets below 60 I'm putting on more clothes and breaking out the hot cocoa...LOL. Glad I'm not up north. '
