Weather where you are?

Hi Jim

very similar here, a wee bit warmer in the living room (natural gas fireplace is running), and minus 39 Celsius outside, supposed to drop into the minus 40's soon...... I haven't gone outside for a couple of days now.:eek::eek::eek:
 
Good morning Paul.

What I remember from Calgary and Crossfield is that it could be -40 and windy. Not pleasant at all. At least here we have no wind at the moment. Not looking forward to preheating the tractor so I can clear some snow later.

I am very thankful for the wood furnace in my workshop. I went out this morning and the temperature inside the shop was still +5 degrees. Should be much warmer now with the furnace fired up!

just dipped below minus 41 Celsius here and still dropping. Even the ski hills have closed down, extreme cold and frostbite warnings. Like Jim, I have heat in my detached insulated garage/shop, in my case a natural gas furnace, going to venture out to the shop just to check all is well, maybe continue fiddling with the 1957 Gilera 150 dis assembly a bit more. I also have electric start on my big snowblower, but as far as I am concerned it is too cold to be clearing snow at the moment. Even the dog has taken to doing his business about 2 feet from the back door before scurrying back inside
 
Well I'm sat on the same latitude as our Canadian friends in a very English 11 degrees and windy rain and for the first winter ever have seen no ice and no road gritting/salt yet. God help us if the Gulf Stream wobbles there isn't a dwelling or utility service in the UK that could handle those crazy sub -40 temperatures!
 
"Heavy rain changing to overcast" the met office says. Well that just about sums it up for weeks now. Jan and Feb are going to be a slog here I reckon. More pics of Lavs in the sunshine please . Just so we know it's still possible .
 
Warmest winter here in Palma in 8 years , 21 degrees and sunshine each day for the last 5 days. temps drop next week to 11 maybe .
This is a photo I took on the 27th, Im doing work on this bad boy. Not much rigging on her, but many other things for me to do. No chance of bike riding at the moment, which means Im missing great riding weather

Damp and turned very mild which means condensation everywhere in the garage. Happens a couple of times a year.
I've decided to put an air extractor through the garage wall.
