 Woke up, -22C this morning, with a heavy wind.

 I have 50 weight in the motor, 80/90 in the gearbox, I dont know if I weigh enough to kick it over today.

 The city did leave all the diesel trucks run all night (the ones that are parked outside the city garage) so you know its cold.

The entire central and eastern portion of North America is in the deep freeze at the moment while the far west is very mild.
We had sunshine and +8c here in Vancouver BC.
It was warm enough for a minor Harley hatch in the afternoon.
That occurs right around 8c. At 12c they come out in great numbers.

You will have to bath in it to cool down in that temp,  not so hot here just a warm 31c ,nice. Next week we are supposed to fry with some of you’re 40c coming our way, cheers

It seems the world is currently getting warmer: Best not to get into the whys and wherefores. You folks in Australasia are finding the heat pretty bad at the moment. What if average maximum temperatures were to continue to rise? Might there be mass exoduses to temperate climates? Also, if sea levels rise, there are likely to be large areas of land that become flooded; another reason for people to leave their homes. Discuss?

Musky, you can come and live in our back bedroom. I could do with your help on my BSA!

Yikes! 

My brother-in-law worked as a Nursing volunteer in Rwanda. He was invited to a nursing conference in Chicago. When he stepped off the plane he was still dressed for Africa, in shorts and a light shirt. He pretty sharpish found a mans clothing shop!

Hi Richard, jeez thats cold ,stay save , ,bet you all managed to get to work , obviously the right kind of "cold" whereas over here it's always the wrong type and stops everything due to a 1 inch dusting of snow/frost . 

[RichardL]

Just tried, unsuccesfuly, to print my phone screen. Accuweather says -25F feels lo ike -58F right now. Dogs are a real challenge.All schools and many (maybe, most) businesses closed.

Norway must be wonderful right now.
