2026 Weather

20 below zero here in Weyburn, Saskatchewan right now. To get down to -32 by the time I start driving again in the morning. And yes, that's Fahrenheit!

Only thing my neighborhood has gotten is either a cold or the flu. Headache, dripping nose, temp of 99.9 which is couple degrees above my usual on my temperature checker dealio. Don't feel sick exactly but the nose drip is getting annoying.
 
Going to try to drag the recliner into the kitchen beside the stacked washer dryer. My 40 foot mobile home is surrounded by 80 foot pine trees. I figure the washer/dryer probably has more vertical/crush strength than this 70ish model trailer. This may testicle the shed roof as it's maybe 12 feet from the trees. Oh well. It's just boards.

WRAL has moderated their IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD coverage some. Saying Raleigh maybe get 1/2" of icing . Big maybe. The bad news is the predicted temperatures in the teens all week after and a second storm coming next weekend. Hope the propane will last till the 3d. Fully expecting some power outages. Great having the emergency propane heat. Think will boil dozen eggs. Love them. Worst case put some of the food on the porch to keep cold.

Edit: temps are wrong. Teens for lows. 30ish during day.

In fairness, there's a lot of dry air and it's going to be 60-something degrees on the coast and that warm air is going to mix in and reduce the ice threat.

New shed, new thread.
 
True Story: Years ago my previous employer anticipated an upcoming snow storm and set up paid reservations at a nearby hotel for anyone volentering to be available. It was a good deal for all because umplanned shutdowns were very costly.

But there was this one guy who took one of the paid-for rooms and still didn't show up for work at 6 a.m. as expected.

He nonchalantly showed up shortly after 11 a.m. which was too late to avoid shutting down one of the lines. His explanation was that the hotel checkout time was scheduled for 11 a.m.
 
Picture I took of 'ice fog' just west of Saskatoon this morning. Temp was right around -34 degrees. Ice fog doesn't fall down and settle on the roadway. It just stays suspended in the air but can be real difficult to navigate at times. Most times you ride underneath it but today I was driving right through it. It has to be extremely cold for it to form. It's not the same as freezing fog. That freezes onto your vehicle and the roadway as you drive through it.

Record cold and snowfall here. Nothing like the great white north, but with only 15 plow trucks for all of Tulsa county, and I don't think we have any in my county but state hwy stuff, so it's going to b a mess for awhile. Supposed to be below freezing for most of this week thru the weekend. 8 to 12" over much of the area.
 
My wife sent me these pics from back home. Over 20" of snow. Seems like it may have finally stopped. She got the red Jeep uncovered and ready to roll. Another white Jeep Wrangler and a Subaru all wheel drive still parked in the garage. All more than winter capable.

There are temperatures in the forecast that I didn't think were possible south of the Mason-Dixon.

19F this morning. Lows for the next week will be 25F or below, highs no better than 45F. A walk in the park for our friends in the north but definitely not what we signed up for here. I've live in the Carolinas for 50 years; I've seen similar temperatures for two or three days but never over this long a period.

At least the roads are clear, gas and groceries can get in, electricity / heat doesn't seem vulnerable, and the space heater in the garage is keeping the potted plants alive. The Wonder Mutts keep charging out, getting their lungs full of cold air, then charging right back in to tell us all about it. Plenty of time to do the taxes and take care of some indoor chores we've been putting off.

I'm shuttling the hummingbird feeders in and out so the nectar doesn't freeze. There's a female outside the window right now trying to suck the feeder dry. They're hardier than most people think but I don't know how they'll do over this extended cold. Mother Nature can be a bitch.
 
Phone says 16 while browser says 15 here. I no likey either one. Got all showered and dressed for Hardee's but think that might get delayed few hours. The sun just popped over the trees as was typing this. May be 70 by 10AM?

Damn head cold about kilt me. Think made it around the corner tho.
