Up here in Nova Scotia Canada, so far it's been a good winter. The lakes here are just starting to freeze a few days ago. I remember going skating on the lakes around the middle of December, when I was a kid, not nowadays. Never have I seen such a warm winter here in this part of the world. We did have a few small snow storms that there was snow on the ground a day or so, but mostly rain. Friday and Saturday we will be getting -10C which is quite cold. Then back up to around freezing. Fiona did some damage last fall in the eastern part of the province; other than that we're been having great weather. So, winter here so far is going to be short. Nice sunny day today.

By the way Al, did you ever get up here? You in boxed me a while ago and said you might get up this way.

We've had a relatively mild winter so far. A handful of nights in the -10 degree range, but just a couple at a time. Tonight back to -8, I think and then tomorrow night around 0. But then days climbing back into the 40s. It's been a kind winter here in Iowa so far. We did get about 7" of snow or so this past weekend.

A few years ago, one of my company's locations I managed was in Souix City. Winters were the coldest I've experienced with temps -20 and 40mph winds and me standing outside talking on the phone trying to diagnose issues with our robots because there was no phone signal inside the plant. No thank you!!!

I'm on the other side of the state, but yeah... we get a lot of wind when our cold comes through, usually. We had a day a few years back with -65 or -70 degree wind chills. I can't remember the exact air temperature, but it was something like -40 I think. I know there's a lot of factors, but I don't feel much difference in air temperatures from 20 to -20 unless there's wind. That's when it gets miserable.

WE did Mervin..but only went into Nova Scotia for a day. Most of the trip was at Alma and Fundy Park in New Brunswick. We went into Nova scotia for fossils..matter of fact my wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there..had a nice dinner by the water at sunset. ..this was 2019..we planned on coming back.. then the pandemic
hit. We did make it quebec city for a 4 day trip though tbis past summer.. .. still need to go back to your neck of the woods.

Al, check out the south shore on the old highways and all the white sand beaches if you ever get this way to spend some time. It's going to be cold here tonight. They say it might be record breaking temperatures. Record is -26C. Wind chills -30-40C. Now that's cold. This will only last a day and then back to mild. What a crazy but mostly mild winter here.

[brewmaster15]

Thanks for the tip Mervin, we are planning a return trip maybe this summer.. WE have a bit of that cold here in CT as well... its the 20 s F now and the windchill makes it feel like Zero. ..Tonight they are calling for negatives. Then back to fall temps!

I'm flying out from Jupiter Florida - 85 degrees to Boston -10 degrees - by the time I get in at 11PM.

[jwcarlson]

Got down to like -5 or -6 F last night, windchills overnight probably close to -20? Drilled some experimental ice fishing holes on a farm pond this morning with my dad. He's going out tomorrow. Solid 6" of ice or maybe a bit more.
High in single digits today, but it doesn't feel too bad because it's calmed down and a little sun shining. Trying to finish up around the new shower I put in *cough* a year ago *cough* High in the low 40s tomorrow! And some some days looking into the low 50s this coming week.

I flew out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa at -20s F and into Phoenix where the lows at night were in the 50s. It's weird having that big a temperature swing in a matter of a few hours or so.

Crisp frigid night here . Down in the negatives .The temp is now -6 at 7 am. Oddly enough theres a wren calling outside my window.

Sometime during the night our pipes froze... found out we had no water at about 4 am . Been in this house 22 years and never had frozen pipes. The freeze spot was where the well line came in. We were lucky that it was an accessible spot.. I was able to thaw the area with a well placed space heater..

It has either been way colder here down to 16 from 70 the day before. It will be in the 70's again today. Crazy.

We are starting a warming trend now. It's going to be above 0 F for awhile. The other night it was -27 F. That is the coldest this year.

I live in northern Minnesota; a few miles from Canada. Most of the Canadian population is south of me.

So basically I know now how Pat feels when I tease her for using the word "cold" to describe Florida this winter..lol.
-27 is cold! However it makes frosting glasses for beer a breeze.
