........it was so cold

[highup]

.............that I had to break the smoke off the chimney.
We don't normally get into the 20's in winter, but we've been having a cold snap for the past week. 21 degrees is pretty cold for the Oregon coast. That's what I had this morning. Barely got above freezing yesterday, and I think the same for today. Wednesday is supposed to be getting closer to "normal" Mid to upper 30's overnight and low to mid 50's in the daytime.
Here's our Oregon road conditions map this morning.
125 miles east of me is Diamond Lake and a tiny town named Chemult. It's on Hwy 97, a major inland traffic route. In the winter, Chemult has some super cold temperatures compared to places just 15 or 20 miles away from it.
My best guess is that Chemult is connected to Antarctica by a wormhole in the fabric of time/space.
On the coast this morning, it was 21.7 degrees. 125 miles east of me is Chemult. That just don't sound like Oregon.

Old high school friend was in Bozeman MT, It got down to -39, with wind chills to -50. She left for warmer areas yesterday. She lives In an Airstream.

Hope she wasn't heading to Oregon, the frozen west.
Much of the state was close to the single digits or less. Very unusual.
..............damn Canadians.

-3 here last night. Suppose to warm up to 8 above tonight. Get the BBQ out.

 

[Nick]

Just got finished shoveling a ft of snow that was suppose to be a dusting. Damn Snowblower wouldn't Start.

 

[Darol Wester]

A guy here called into the local radio station a few years back and told the weather man that he just finished shoveling a foot of partly cloudy off his driveway.

 

[happyhours]

yea the weather people shoot 50/50 at best. Being on the coast when they say winds will be 10 to 15 mph we just add them together to get the correct wind speed.

 

[Nick]

Good one , I'm searching for their number right now . I don't think they even have a window in the room to look out and see what is going on .

There been times when they said it is cloudy today, and it be pouring rain.

 

[happyhours]

I wish I could get paid for being wrong all the time !!!

 

[Dan]

I remember back years ago when I was in Seattle, weatherman would say, "It's going to rain today, the wind will blow, and we might get to see the sun." And they were right everyday.

 

[Nick]

I remember missing a lot of Golf because they said it was going to rain.

 

[Jon]

Nick you still want me to adopt you?

Jon 69 degrees is not very warm for summertime temperatures. Just think there was a possibility of snow in Vegas this weekend and you are going to be there in just over a month, plus I believe you are going to Antarctica. I know it is cold there. Get used to the cold my friend.
