"Baby, It's COOLD Outside"

[Crumm]

If it's "Crummy cold" then it's really cold!!!!

It ain't Crummy cold here anymore. We just came out of a 3 week -40 cold snap and it feels good Currently 20 and rising. I had a feeling you guys were in store for some cool temps as when ours rise yours fall.

Tuesday(6th) was the coldest day of the current cold wave with a high temperature of 41 below at Fairbanks International Airport and a low of 47 below. It was the second straight day that the temperature at the airport failed to climb above 40 below.

Wednesday(7th) marked the 12th day in a row of the current cold wave in Fairbanks, but the low temperature on only nine of those days has hit 40 degrees below zero or colder.

The temperature in North Pole dipped to 55 degrees below zero on Wednesday night, the lowest temperature recorded in the greater Fairbanks area during what has been six days of severe cold

Residents should expect “super cold” temperatures this weekend, with lows around 50 below or colder.

And Now --------

Fairbanksans cheered the end of one of the longest cold snaps to hit Alaska’s second-largest city in decades on Monday. The high temperature at Fairbanks International Airport as of 5:30 p.m. was 0 degrees and still climbing.

Time to get out my tee-shirts as this is tee-shirt weather
Ice fog is gone and I still have 5 ton's of pellets although we did have to turn up the stove a notch for a couple of weeks.

Joe, I hope you weren't sayin that it was COLD there in CA

I think we might be above zero by now, but the wind is picking up, wind chills to -45 next couple days- thats getting a bit on the nippy side

Tried to pump some 80-90w gear oil the other day, I think scooping it would have been easier

Stephen, if your batteries are good, them 6.0's will fire at -15, not plugged in- just give em a few minutes to sound like they are not gonna blow up

Stay warm out there

BTW, thanks for the cold blast, Crummy

That's good to hear. Meteorologically speaking in the winter, we're downstream from you. We usually get our cold weather from Crummyland. If it gets warmer in interior AK, then we typically get that warmth coming down the pike towards us in the northern Midwest soon afterwards.

Actually I believe he was serious. Us Californians have a very high gel point. Driving in winter Tule fog with freezing temps is miserable with black ice, zero visibility and cold and damp weather.

You got THAT Right !!!!!

I'd rather drive in Blowing, Drifted Snow than git out in the Frozen Fog 'round here. Most of the Cali folks won't slow down... they can't even see 2 lines of the center line.. they do 65 MPH.

Local paper sez there was 16 wrecks in the county, yesterday morning alone. CHP "Escorting" traffic at controled speeds but they manage to Pile'm up anyway

Nice being Retired.. we don't halfta go out in it

It is 17 here this morning. Yesterday it was 19. I don't mind the cold but when the wind is blowing that makes it miserable. That is even though some of us have been in way colder weather, SP90. BigJoe knows what I mean. Keith

Indiana boy licks light pole, gets stuck

seriously, i don;t make this stuff up

Hammond boy licks light pole, gets stuck -- chicagotribune.com


HAMMOND, Ind. - In a scene straight out of the movie "A Christmas Story," a 10-year-old Hammond boy got his tongue stuck to a metal light pole.

Police say the unidentified fourth-grader was able to tell them that a friend dared him to lick the pole Wednesday night. Temperatures in Hammond were around 10 degrees at the time.

By the time an ambulance arrived, the boy was able to yank his tongue off the frozen pole.

Police say ambulance personnel explained to the boy's mother how to care for his bleeding tongue.

The 1983 movie is set in a fictional city based on Hammond, the hometown of author Jean Shepherd.

I'm sure folks in Fargo ND will appreciate that. As I type this, the Weather Channel says it's -27*F with a -45*F wind chill there.
