High of 17F and low of 9 tomorrow on Vancouver Island. Some may scoff at those temps but that's pretty damn cold for here especially being very damp.
Was -16C at 5am, that’s the warmest it will be for a few. Currently about -23C, will hit -35C Fri night. Better switch up the wax regime, gonna be a bit grippy out there.
Think i’ll take the red ones tomorrow…Attachment 482638

-25 F this morning in Helena, supposed to drop to -35 tonight. Possible record low.

Holy fuck these temps are gnar. Not sure if I would be rallying too hard out there at -25. Or really minus anything. Sheesh
Edit to add we have 11° and snowing and blowing here in the Wasatch
Right? I pretty much draw the line close to 0. Your results may vary.
It's a balmy 25 here right now. But supposed to hit -8 tonight, and tomorrow has a forecast high of 4.
Yeah, may not get to 20 F at my house today. That's very unusual for these parts.Quote:

At least the gloom of valley fog has retreated. Can see the local peaks turn pink in the sunrise this morning.
Had to coax the pup by her collar to come in last night, she still wanted to sleep outside at -29C. Let her out this morning and straight to her snow pile to lie and survey the neighbourhood. Kitty went out for 5min, twice, before deciding it wasn’t for her.
-11 outside, 36 inside. Yeah, I'm a fridged bitch.

This isn’t Portland, except it is today
To top it off the power went out…
Thought I saw a sign at Mac pass or somewhere near Helena that recorded the lowest ever temp in continental US at something like minus 68.Quote:

Oh and the new puppy keeps peeing in the house cause his paws freeze instantly outside. I have a short memory because I got my last puppy and then we had a solid week and a half of 30 below. Gotta love Montana!Quote:

We had a low of 3 and a high of 10. So not too bad until you factor in the 38% relative humidity and wind gusts to 54 mph.
Today is a balmy 20.
You were at Rogers Pass north of Helena.Quote:

Fukfukfuk, just watched a tree come down on the power line & we’re back on generator!!!
Fuck!!!
Skied yesterday and it was -12f mid mountain, only thing really cold was my big toes. I think that’s about as low as I would ski. Something bad happens and you’re going to get hypothermia really quickly. I’m not sure if any wax works at that point, the snow was like Velcro.

Yeah, the grabby snow annoys me way more than the cold temps.
High of +4F here today currently at -2. Snowing like a mofo. At least the snow is feather light so I’m waiting until AM to blow the remainder away.
3000’ up the hill, Mt Bachelor is 20 degrees warmer.
This cold is exhausting when you've got livestock to care for. At least I'm not like the poor cattle ranchers who are currently calving. Nothing like having to thaw out calves that are frozen to the ground.
High of 5 today. -20 wind chill.
Tomorrow is supposed to be a balmy 19.
My cats are driving me insane. They are screaming. Fighting. Begging to go out. I let them out into the garage but they don't like that.

Ski touring at -27C (-17F). Late start, cabin (with fire) for lunch, and early finish. Idyllic on sunny windless aspects, but otherwise took everything we had to keep hands and feet functioning.
I am from Alberta and ya, fuck Montana too.Quote:

Went out @ 1000 to blow off the driveway @ temp = 7f
90 minutes later the Subie, my driveway and the widow’s next door was clear of 18” snow.
Pulled out the bong for a well-deserved rip.
Beard froze to the bong rim
Came home from skiing to my wife telling me the main floor of our house has no heat. Upstairs and basement are fine. Temp down to 57 inside and -5 outside. Boiler and baseboards.
Finally gave up trying to fix it and called my plumber. He thinks we have a frozen spot in the baseboard loop. Now heating up the main floor by blasting the basement and some space heaters. Up to 64 but still no water moving.
Could be nasty when it finally thaws if the pipes burst.
Crap
Huh, maybe my wife is right...
