[greyhair biker]

I had to take my oldest son back to Casper College today and I just HAD to take a cheezy photo of the temp in the jeep at the time...it never got above 0 all day!

[greyhair biker]

I drove through Wyoming last week coming back from Ohio/Mt Rushmore and I couldn't believe how cold it was. My outback has the National Weather broadcast and we were listening to it. The section of Wyoming we were in, had a high of -10 with a low of -30. That place is crazy.

It might be cold in there, but those lips in the mirror are HOT!!!!!

Our reverse osmosis was frozen yesterday and again today. I am glad I did not head out hiking this weekend.

I was in Star Valley last month. Woke up and went out to start the truck. It took it a second to turn over and the power steering pump groaned. Final low of the morning was -18*. Brrrrrrr

Reverse Osmosis... what kind do you have, and how did it freeze?

Dang if I know. The type that husbands install. It thawed out about 3pm yesterday and then is frozen again today. It's some expensive contraption under the sink we have had for over 10 years. Its great though. The kids thought they would die yesterday if they had to drink city water. They raided my ice chest in the rover for water left over from my last hiking trip. :lol8:

I'm curious to how it would freeze. The water would come in through your house, through the basement, and then up to the kitchen.

Unless it's on an outside bordering wall, that's not insulated very well?

We don't have a basement, but cold air does flow from the outside to under the kitchen cabinets. I assume the insulation there is poor. Just asked hubby and he says the reverse osmosis line is not insultated as well as the main line. The homes out here in the boonies have interesting construction. :mrgreen:

Damn - I need to get on here earlier in the AM! I cant describe how cold it was up here! I stopped at Independence Rock on the way to Casper...rest area there...put the window down in the jeep to take a picture and my nose hairs froze...instantly! Casper was a solid sheet of ice and snow...I dont knwo how anyone makes it around that city without 4wheel drive in the winter
Right now its about -16...and my LIPS needed some heat Tanya :naughty:

I was in Star Valley last month.


Where is Star Valley?

Idaho...still damn cold!

[basilone0331]

Last night around Meadow on I-15 my car's thermometer said it was -26. :cold:

[Reedus]

Ummm no, Star Valley is in Wyoming. At least the only Star Valley that I know of.

P.S - -10 and -20 are heat waves compared to cold I have experienced. I was in Ukraine for 2 years and the second winter I was there it dipped down to -45 below. We were instructed to stay inside for the duration. Talk about a bout of cabin fever. I snapped the soles on two pair of boots that winter due to cold temps.

[jumar]

Time to break out the ice gear then!! We had our baby in November, so I haven't gotten out much to go climbing this winter. Figures it'd be a great, cold winter.

Shane, do you want to hit the ice this year?

wondered if anyone was gonna catch that..I have , or rather, my middle son has friends up in Afton & I have driven through there but I heard that the sqeaky cheeze factory isnt there anymore...I was bummed when I heard that!

What???? No.... please say it isn't so. I loved that place. It was "the" stop for my family every time we went to Jackson and every time we came home. Cheese curds, yummmmm. I haven't been for two years and now it is closed???? :frustrated:

We have been having unseasonably warm weather this winter, the Jet Stream hasn't really dropped enough to give us that Canadian blast of cold air :haha: We haven't even had snow yet (which is really out of character), just all rain.

Actually, its been more years than that for me & when I asked my son to pick me up some cheeze curds he said there wasnt a store there anymore... I never got back up there to check it out for myself...bummer, I really like fresh curds...now all I have is Winder Dairy in SLC

My buddy in Phoenix had his pipes freeze, he's said it's the coldest it has been there in 20 years or so. Today is our first below freezing day, tomorrow it's supposed to head back up in the mid forties :cool2:

You guys prolly have heard that Oklahoma was hard hit by the recent ice storm. Here in the Ada area, we got off relatively easy, with about .75 inches of ice. McAlester, 60 miles east of here, still has no power.

There remains some ice on the roads, so I drove my wife to work the last couple of days. This morning we discussed how much better a cold, wet winter is than last year's hot, windy winter that spawned catastrophic grassfires throughout the region.

I remember one night last February hearing a number of scanner calls about smelling smoke, which I could also smell. No one could find the fire. Several area departments began a fruitless search. As the evening progressed, we discovered that we were smelling smoke from the Texas panhandle. How insane is that?

Also FWIW, all autumn the pond on our property, which was all the way dry in the summer (we shot fireworks on it July 4), has been filling, and is now up to it's natural grass line again. I hope these are all signals that we are emerging from the drought.

Man,you can keep that :eek2:

[Cirrus2000]

Vancouver's had a terrible winter so far. We've had snow on the ground for the last week. Second time this year - had it at the start of December, too.

Multiple windstorms, and lots of power outages. At the airport, we have to use the secondary crossing runway only in serious bad weather, when the wind comes from the south. Usually it gets maybe 4 days a year, an hour or so at a time. This year, about 20 days, for 6-8 hours on end. It's been a very strange year.

It hit -7 Celsius the other day! That's about 20 Fahrenheit. Brrr! I had to take off the sandals and wear socks & shoes! Kept the shorts on, though.

I'm watching temps in southern Utah, in preparation for my trip in early March. -23 C in Cedar City the other night!?!? Yikes.
