Weather

It's been snowing for at least 7 hours and will continue for 12 hours. In addition, the wind is blowing. There's gonna be 20 - 30 cm of snow to shovel today. :-(

If I went to the beach after work, I'd need a chain saw to cut a hole in the ice.

lol I like that.

I kinda enjoy Sydney's weather, summer is kinda warm, we do get temperatures above 30°C (86°F) but most days are around the 18°C - 26°C (64°F - 78°F) mark. The past couple of weeks have been pretty warm, most days above 30°C (86°F) and we had days that reached 40°C (104°F). Highest recorded temperature for Sydney is 45.3°C (113.5°F) way back in 1939.

Winter rarely drops below 5°C, I think the coldest day recorded is 2-3°C, I have never witnessed snowfall and have only ever been on snow twice in my life.

Back in 2009 Sydney experienced a dust storm which was scary. Sydneysiders who are used to waking up to bright blue skies instead woke up to a reddish-orange cloud surrounding literally everything. It looked like we were on Mars lol

The highest temperature ever recorded in Regina was 43.3°C on July 5, 1937.

Below are some before and after shots:

Those are great before and after shots, iRager. . Did you take them? If not, what is the source - you should make a reference to the source.

Snowing, snowing, snowing...
In the meantime, I've shoveled 50 cm of snow. That weather will continue until tomorrow, afternoon. :-(!!!

Yep, there are wind chill warnings in Northern Ontario of -55°C...... That's tongue to metal temps lol, 8)

Haha. My wife actually did that. Someone told her not to, so she just had to take up the challenge.

LOL....how did she manage to get free?

Oh, you know. The usual trick. Lots of warm water, a wooden spoon, an immense amount of pain and a realization that sometimes instructions are for ones own good.

That was in Saskatchewan years ago, long before I met her. I still cackle when I think of it. She told me when she was passing the info to me, although quite why she thought I might go around licking basketball hoops is beyond me.

Maybe she was hoping that something would be torn out?

I suspect you're right.

Back to the weather. It's -20°C and raining here in the Northern Rockies. HOW can it rain at this temperature?

I guess she was the inspiration for one of Mr Bean's antics!

We are enjoying lovely sunshine after a frosty start. It's calm - perfect weather for my walk, with camera!

Cloudy, -3°C and breezy. Grape farmers say the warm weather will not harm ice wine grapes. They hope to finish the harvest next week when temps. reach -10°C overnight.
