Baby it's cold outside

Evo

Well, we got a few flakes for about 5 minutes and they melted as soon as they hit. So much for the 5 hours of snow they had predicted an hour ago, now they changed the forecast to nothing.

A December without snow means that in January we will get hit with the ice storm of the century. Never fails.

Ah.. so it is one of those, after the nasty weather has let up, then we break it out kind of things.

Math Is Hard

We're having crazy high winds again in southern California.

Hope we don't lose power.

Some things we can do without, and a reliable connection to PF is not one of them.

It looks like we're going to have a white Christmas after all. Got a couple inches of snow this morning, with more on the way unless the next storm changes its track.

turbo

It's going to be a white Christmas. Temperature right now is 7 deg and falling, so the existing snow is going to last.

Borek

No traces of snow. And +5°C.

+4C here. It rained overnight, but the ground is still completely covered by snow.

Astronuc

It was -1°C this morning, but now outside has warmed up to ~3°C in the back of the house, and maybe ~5°C in the sun out front.

We don't have C temps in the US, talk in fahrenheit man!

turbo

We just got up to 20F, with snow.

Evo

Not christmasy here at all.

turbo

Still plenty of snow coming down. The breeze is out of the East, so it could be bigger than predicted. BUT, the temps are coming down a bit, so the Arctic high might push this one off-shore.

"""We don't have C temps in the US, talk in fahrenheit man!""

when i was in Canada where the radio speaks C i learned to convert in my head--
i can't multiply by 1.8 in my head so


double the C temperature
subtract 10%
add 32

if you're rigorous with the sign it even works below freezing.

eg -40C
doubled is -80,
subtract 10% : negative 80 -(-8) = -72
add 32 : -72 + 32 = -40 which is correct.

After a few years working with the ends-and-outs of Pharmaceutical walk-in environmental chambers (for studies with typical set-points of 25°C/60%RH and 40°C/75%RH), it doesn't take long to realize 25°C is room temp and 40°C is hotter than hell.

turbo

Back to 20 deg F here and dropping. It sucks, but there you go.

My head mostly works good as a hat rack... lol

So, I usually have to use this...

Yeah, I know... there's a lot of them, but I like the company.


Not bad here... 26°F, on Monday, December 26 at 12:10 AM, MST.
