That is all.

imitchellg5 · Jan 2, 2010, 02:25 PM

Brr. It started up cold and cloudy here this morning at 15˚, cleared up and hit 46˚, now it's 30˚ and started snowing about 5 minutes ago... Colorado is crazy!

Jawbone54 · Jan 2, 2010, 02:26 PM

I definitely don't envy you right now. Wow...

exca1ibur · Jan 2, 2010, 02:30 PM

Time for you to move, man.

Oneota · Jan 2, 2010, 02:53 PM

Yeah, I feel bad for my dogs every time I let them out to do their business. Not bad enough to let them do it inside, though.

BlueSky · Jan 2, 2010, 03:10 PM

That seat must hurt your ass.

Laminar · Jan 2, 2010, 03:19 PM

Yeah, it's all still a work in progress so I don't have any padding or upholstery done yet, but it was the only bike that would start in this weather.

Oisín · Jan 2, 2010, 03:38 PM

I’m back in Copenhagen where the temperatures are milder (currently 19°F/–7°C), but the past six or seven days at my parents place in the middle of a Swedish forest far out in the middle of nowhere, it’s been going up and down between –23°C and –14°C (–10°F and 7°F, respectively). Bloody cold (and slippery) walking the dog. Thankfully, only about four or five inches of snow at the most, mostly less than that.

They’re running out of firewood, though, which is not good. There’s no central heating, only the furnace downstairs. There’s probably enough wood left for today and perhaps tomorrow—I’m hoping their firewood guy comes tomorrow. Otherwise, they’re going to have a couple of very cold days.

Ya know, if you had been singing Linkin Parks' "Numb" when you took that picture, it wouldn't have been emo.

just saying.

All right. This time it was funny. Admitted.

besson3c · Jan 2, 2010, 04:59 PM

Do bikes have a cigarette lighter? Could you plug in a heating pad to the seat?

imitchellg5 · Jan 2, 2010, 05:15 PM

Some how power points, but that one certainly doesn't.

downinflames68 · Jan 2, 2010, 06:07 PM

Underexposed. White balance that like a mofo.

iMOTOR · Jan 2, 2010, 08:15 PM

It was 76ºF/24ºC here today.

shifuimam · Jan 2, 2010, 10:35 PM

Dunno how cold it was today, but it was windier than one of those Windy Shrimp from Futurama.

turtle777 · Jan 2, 2010, 10:44 PM

Yesterday night, -20F with windchill in Chicago.

Yes, I will be sure to adjust the settings on my cell phone camera when it's eight below.

I actually only used my cell phone camera because my Canon's lens wouldn't pop out in this weather. It was literally frozen shut.`

Yeah, I regretted forgetting my hat when I was walking around by the river.

Big Mac · Jan 3, 2010, 02:49 AM

Damn global warming.

mattyb · Jan 3, 2010, 04:23 AM

If you can ride a motorcycle, then its not THAT cold.

msuper69 · Jan 3, 2010, 08:10 AM

Just another typical winter day in Limestone, ME.

Aaaaaaaahhhh The tropics. 79 degres, sunny, perfect! Hear those waves! LOL I'm in Puerto Rico, get down here and stop your suffering!

About 25% of my body was numb to the point where I couldn't feel it when I touched my skin. We're talking -22 C.

Have I been sharing my city with you this whole time, or are you just visiting?

kmkkid · Jan 3, 2010, 01:33 PM

It's -8 here too!

Celsius that is.

Same here!

(Or it was, an hour ago … now it suddenly says –5°?)

Edit: And your Geocities-hosted sig needs an update.

dcmacdaddy · Jan 3, 2010, 03:26 PM

Have you licked a flagpole yet?

I went snowshoeing the past two nights in similar weather. Friday night it was -2F with a windchill of -8F while last night it was 0F with a windchill of -12F. I was with a group of folks last night and we lasted only an hour or so. A temperature of -8F in the daytime hours is just wrong. The windchill must have been -20F or more.

Well the weather up on Mount Washington has been unusually warm.

Good news is that it's perfect conditions for the party I'm throwing up there:

Temperature 9.6°F
Wind 44.9 mph
Direction 326° (NW)
Gust 61.0 mph
Wind Chill -16.5°F

Please let me know who's coming so I know how much ice for drinks I need to pick up.

besson3c · Jan 4, 2010, 12:58 AM

The barometer here reads "30.28" (1026.7 mb)"

Bit chilly then. I have fond memories of riding a CB350 (great bike) around Scotland and my gloves getting frozen solid around the grips. Don't think that I could handle a trip like that now.

A twin, red frame. Not the classic one.

The Final Dakar · Jan 4, 2010, 08:44 AM

It may be -8º, but you're still not cool.

Ouch, and Dakar goes for the burn...freezer burn that is.

Laminar · Jan 12, 2010, 06:28 PM

And it's currently -13 degrees F up here in Rainbow Lake, Alberta. Awesome.

imitchellg5 · Jan 12, 2010, 09:28 PM

It's been pretty warm here... nearly 60˚ today! Annoyingly, I had an eye doctor appointment... the doctor dilated my pupils so I had to stay indoors most of the afternoon.

SpaceMonkey · Jan 12, 2010, 09:55 PM

Oh yeah? It's like...absolute zero here.

iM@k · Jan 29, 2010, 07:09 PM

Well it's starting to feel a little nippy around here:

Temperature -23.9°F
Wind 71.3 mph
Direction 296° (NW)
Gust 81.7 mph
Wind Chill -70.1°F
Friday 8:00 PM

The Final Dakar · Jan 29, 2010, 10:06 PM

-24º before windchill?

WTF

exca1ibur · Jan 30, 2010, 12:19 AM

Sounds like 'Moving and never coming back' weather to me.

And within the same distance (approximately), there’s also Milan, Berlin, and Bethlehem?

How multicultural.

iM@k · Jan 30, 2010, 07:31 AM

Yes, my best friend lives in Canaan, NH, which is close to Hanover, NH and in Stratham, NH is the import and US distribution point for Lindt Swiss Chocolates.
