Dottleshead ★ Posted December 21, 2022 Share #5 Posted December 21, 2022 It’s 13 degrees here and the wind is blowing the 8 inches of snow everywhere. Arctic conditions. I was going to go out but better judgment took over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that is how they notify the public that plowing and parking restrictions will begin, not any actual emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get, on rare occasions, temperatures below 0 F but there's a saying in Maryland when it's below the mid-20's, "It's too cold to snow." Whatever atmospheric combinations at to make snow, close to melting seems required most of the time. Our worst storms are Nor'easters that come up the Atlantic coast, rotating counterclockwise as storms do, picking up moisture over the ocean and then seeming to come from the NE as the storm rotates back over land. Maybe too cold doesnt' get enough moisture. Other snow comes up from the Gulf of Mexico which brings warm air colliding with cold air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we had wind chills of -65F in 1968 in eastern South Dakota. South Dakota has been hit hard again with snow and wind. Check our Murdo and Vivian, SD on the web. Think they may have televised a bit of the problem on the weather channel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January of 85 it was COLD here. -29F and if you included wind chill -59F. That was COLD. That was a record low for us. WoBG and I had 3 cars then. They were all parked outside. WoBG's 66 Oldsmobile started. We used that to jump start my 81 Z28 Camaro. Tomorrow night after (or during??) the snow, it will get down to -7F here. That's 41 degrees below the normal low temp. No dog walking on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know if they take care of business they get to come back to their warm crates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One January weekend in 1982 it was -35 and didn’t get much warmer than -25 the whole weekend. Freakishly cold. Roomie from Florida didn’t like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted December 22, 2022 Share #19 Posted December 22, 2022 Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this text in a weather warning. From a coworker who lives in greater Minneapolis: TRAVEL THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT COULD BE IMPOSSIBLE AND LIFE-THREATENING...

At that level though, doubt I could feel s a difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
