[Bacon, WA3WDR]

It was finally cold enough in the DC area that I dug out my winter coat and zipped on the hood.  I even remembered to wear it when I went to work!  I couldn't find a matched pair of gloves, so I hope I don't have to wear the gloves I found (light brown suede, and dark brown cotton work).  Oh well.

It got down to the teens (F) last night, according to the report it's 20 (F) degrees now.

Waaah. 
It was -8 F this morning, business as usual in Presque Isle, Maine.
It's warmed up quite a bit since last week, too. Although Saturday's heat wave (+24F) is over. I'm heading back to MO on Wed.

[WB3JOK]

I wonder if he was smart enough to put on gloves and a hat though

When wifee left this AM, the garage door didn't close all the way.   
30MPH+ winds and 9 deg. temperature.
When kev-o ran a load of laundry, he put on coffee.
While drinking the coffee , the sound of running water was heard.
Frozen drain, frozen drain.
And the washer drain hoze rose up and was acting like a spitting cobra, spraying all over the laundry.
Coffee cold, coffee cold.

But I finished my 9 year long Ranger Dos restoration project...   klc

It was 7 degrees when I got up this morning.  20 minutes later it dropped to 5 degrees.  I went into the garage where it was a balmy 60 degrees, didn't have to warm up the vehicle.  Drove out in my preheated vehicle and was on my way to work.  The walk into work sucked though.

The coldest I have seen it this winter is +10º f.  We used to be able to expect sub-zero temps at least 2 or 3 times over the winter, but it's been at least a decade since I have seen it even hit zero.  The coldest I have ever seen on a thermometer at this QTH is -18º.  Supposedly, the official record stands at -20.

We haven't had a good snow season here since about 1985.

Maybe there is something to that thar Global Warming theory, after all - whether it is a natural cycle, or the result of all the CO2 we've spewed into the atmosphere while sucking the juice to run our AM kw's.  Actually, my guess is that it is a combination of both.

I QSO'ed with a station in Sherebrooke, Québec the other night.  He told me they had seven inches of snow on the ground!  Usually by this time of the year they have about 8 ft. of accumulation, and many of the houses have temporary canopies mounted over the walkway to maintain a tunnel in the  snow between the cleared street and the front door of the house.

But this winter, mild as it has been, has been unusually quiet, QRN wise.  Except for a few nights when strong fronts moved through, the Lightning Map has come up almost completely blank, with close to zero "events."

Mais où sont les neiges d'antan?

Nay, never ask this week, fair lord,
Where they are gone, nor yet this year,
Save with thus much for an overword,-
But where are the snows of yester-year?

[Bill, KD0HG]

But where are the snows of yester-year?

Here in the Denver area, this year.
Seasonal totals so far, 62" - 110", the former officially at Denver, the latter at Evergreen and the foothills.
That's 26" to 3 feet above normal for here, more snow than we've seen the last 8 years. We've had at least a foot on the ground since mid-December. There's STILL impassible roads in the area that haven't been dug out.

The thing is, you just can't attribute any given season's variability of weather to climate change. In fact, bigger winter storms are one of the predicted effects of a warming atmosphere.

We've had a nasty cold and wet winter in the west so far, a comlete reversal from last year. Mybe your turn next year, Don. And yer welcome to it- LOL.

[n3lrx]

It was colder than a witches brass bra sitting on a brass monkey today..
But call me insane, I actually got half my 160m dipole in the sir!

BBBBRRRRRRRR.. Hot Chocolate anyone?

[Steve - WB3HUZ]

Yea, I had gloves too. The car was in the heated garage though, so I didn't really need them.

Don't like the cold. Move out of the northeast.

[n3lrx]

I would gladly move to the southland if I could. I've considered it many times and sent many resumes to the south. Depending on where you go life is so much simpler, less expensive. Truth is as much as people hate Wal-Mart there are parts of the south where one could actually afford a mortgage on a Wal-Mart salary! Forget that in the Northeast.

Not to mention a climatic cesspool around here.. It would be really nice to move someplace where the weather is a bit more stable.

And I'd be perfectly happy living a life of a stereotypical hillbilly with a mobile home smack in the middle of a 10 acre lot surrounded by natures antenna towers..

Ain't no might be about it.. I am a Redneck! LOL

[W1ATR]

+4 degrees here,(wind chill -15) at 5:30am. Those oil burners were chuggin' along today.

Had a big pile of 'no heat' calls come in today. Left the house around 8:30ish this morning, and just walked in now at 10:30pm. The way it looks, I'll be out again tonight.

bbrrrr!!!

Hell Yeah Dude! Yeehaw! I love big 4 wheel drives. When I was 22ish, I had a 78 Ford f-150 short box. All in primer, 460 motor with a fat cam and 4" stacks, 6" body lift and 6" suspension lift rolling on 38" pontoons. I had fun and didn't give a sh1t how pissed off the neighbors got. That truck was a friggin' blast. I probably got pulled over 9 zillion times to be told it was too high. (52" to the bottom edge of the door.)

[wa1knx]

79 today, sun blue sky, slight breeze. 60's tonight, tomorrow, 80's sun -
oop, I'll shut up..

[Bacon, WA3WDR]

Hmm, 10 (F) at 3AM.  I think I'll just go to bed.

[WB3JOK]

I KNEW there was something I had overlooked 

-12 going home last night. A pleasant -5 this morning though, and now it's actually above zero for a change! Looks like northern Ohio and Chicago are getting their turn in the barrel...

[W2JBL]

it was +4 up here in White Plains Monday morning. all of 9 (global warming) when i got to work today. i love it! the cold keeps " a certain element" inside instead of out robbing and stabbing, and the illegal aliens are wandering around like shell shocked Hiroshima survivors. but i love the cold anyway. man it's friggin beautiful weather for me, especially at some of the mountaintop sites i work at. oddly though it's been colder here than at my Adirondack Mountain ccompound. 

[wa1knx]

hi Chris,
       81 today, it to be 82 tomorrow. wonderful, but cha know, ur right the
bad element comes out when the wx gets good!

[WD8BIL]

I'll settle for my single wide on 18 acres.... no frontage !!!!

[n3lrx]

Amen to that Bubba!!   Give me 3 double wides on 5 acres and I'd be happy..... one to live in, one for the radios, and one for the model trains.

I'm not a warm weather fan;  when the OAT gets above 80F, it's time to stay inside and crank on the A/C. 

Ohhh.. Model Trains.. I'm not much into models but I'm a big fan of real trains. I like Steamers and Diesel Electric most of all..

[KB2WIG]

 2 doors, AirConditioning, patio with a grill and 2 coolers....  ply wood to keep water off the hitch?   
note the c-ment blocks  - perfect hold downs for them high wind days

what more is there to ask for???               klc
