Sorry, it's so cold that it sucks. Feeling the need for Florida, Mexico, the Caribean, .....even California. High temps have not gone higher than 34 in the last week. Feels like Minnesota.

Waaaa! Waaa! Waaa!

Yikes! I feel for ya down there in Oregon! Not past 34F all week? We've made it to 44.5, 46, and 47.6F this week in downtown Kirkland, and our lows have been around 25-29F. Not too bad, really, so there is really no excuse why I can't hit up Lake Alice tomorrow!!

It is 26 degrees in Vancouver right now.

I lived a lot of years in Montana and when in Butte it routinely got down to fifty degrees below zero, but once it gets down to twenty below it is had to notice any thing colder LOL.
We used to play pranks on our neighbors by going out and pouring water on their car in the middle of the night and it would freeze and we would put layers on so when they came out to go to work there would be a layer of ice an inch or two thick on their car. All you have to do is bang on it and it would fall off, butt still we thought it was hilarious.
They invented this stuff you spray on your keys to get the locks unfrozen…I will refrain from telling you what we hillbillies sprayed on our keys to get the locks unfrozen…

I remember living in Seeley Lake, Montana and it was so cold I looked out the window one morning to see a snowshoe rabbit with jumper cables getting a jack rabbit started.

That I thought I would take my canoe down to Greenlake for a couple hours this afternoon - The whole lake is iced over - I put in by the tennis courts and made it out about 50 yards before giving up. Thought it would be thinner the farther out I went, but not so. About 1.5" all the way.

the coldest that i had to work out in was -38 with a windchill of -70 in new london minnesota back in 1987-88. i had fed big round bails to cattle with a tractor that was need'n a major tune up for a farmer. they couldn't go with out being fed so i had to drive the tractor 5 miles to town and back. i was fortunate to have had some military foul weather gear and was almost toasty warm. of course i was the only one out on the road that day. i also was lucky to have had a 57 chev pick-up that got me home from the turkey plant i worked nights at. the water pump busted when i started it being frozen up but it got me 35 miles to home with out over heating. everyone else got stuck there for most of the day. of course i called in later to tell them i couldn't come in which lasted a few days. actually went ice-fish'n though the fish seemed to have stayed home to because of the cold weather. <')//<
