Does anyone (besides maybe Rad) NOT live somewhere where the natives say "If you don't like the weather here, wait a day or two"?

Now that you mention it, the digital thermometer read -41c this morning, my water pipes are frozen and I had to run a propane heater under my oil pan for four hours to get the car started. It's been below -35c since Sunday. We are looking at a high of -17c by the weekend. We add the windchill on top of these temps, but we don't even talk about it.

Isn't it about -41 where the Celsius and Farenheit scales meet?

Back in the early 1970s we lived in North Dakota and had a six week period when the day time high never went above -20 F! We had a block heater and a tank heater both running so the car would start in the morning. A year later we moved to balmy southern Minnesota. Now if I feel like complaining about the weather, I think of that time and then go about my daily business happily warm at -12 F this morning.

Hey Wood, the WeatherGal said it was pretty cold this morning, Down to 30 but should warm to the mid fifties later on today. Bring the boys and come on down.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

n8: right there witcha in S.E. Iowa. Seemed actually rather pleasant at 6 AM yesterday. That was the last of that thought. REALLY nasty this AM. The drive home yesterday was no picnic, either.
In a lifetime, the average driver will honk 15,250 times. My wife figures I'm due to die any day now...

You are correct, Bruce. Where does that icon that says you are a

Layton, glad to see you back & posting.
Regarding the "I Subscribe" thing, see the area, Common Q&A Archives, and in there is a thread regarding this logo.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

It's 16 F. here in northeastern Indiana and we are potentially expecting the biggest snowstorm of the season. I'm excited! I guess I'm a kid at heart as I have always liked snowstorms. Part of my childhood was spent in New England where getting a forecast that predicted 12 to 24 inches was not that unusual -- or even 24 to 36 inches! Good ol' northeasters!
But of course it helps that I work in my home and don't have to drive to work. He He.
Gotta go. Work is calling! Slept in a little this morning as I was up burning the midnight oil doing taxes.

Currently 62 and overcast here, dropping to 37 tonight. We're going to to get smacked with a cold front around noon, complete with a nasty squall line. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ridge/Conus/full_loop.phpLooks like the head of the same system that's going to give you the big snow, Cecil My pond is about 12" over full, and if I get 3-4 more inches of rain today, the levees will get a serious test. I doubt the bermuda grass will wash out, but you never know.

Bobad,
I have a 3" gas engine pump that you can borrow in exchange for the 12" over, that is about how much I am low.
86 degrees, beautiful blue skies, with some great looking fluffy white clouds.
1/4 & 3/4 acre ponds. A thousand miles from no where and there is no place I want to be...

The projected high on Monday (San Antonio) is 81 degrees.
I'll be working and fishing tomorrow with dad (ahvatsa), and I hope the warming trend will have the fish a little more active.
