Damn, It's Cold Outside!

[Iron Woode]

It's -17C now and its supposed to hit -20C overnight. The windchill is -30C here.

I realize its colder in other parts of the country - ahem Red Squirrel - but I hate the cold. The heating system in my apt building is having trouble keeping up. I wish they would fix it.

On the other hand, I am preparing my pot roast so I can have it for lunch tomorrow.

That will help take my mind off the cold and as a plus will make my apt smell good.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Yep.




It warmed up though :biggrin:, this was yesterday:




Though I find anything after say, -25c all feels the same. Balls cold. :biggrin:

I badly have to insulate my basement as well, I'm probably loosing quite a lot of heat through those walls. Just cinder blocks and that's it. I framed last year so it's ready for foam now once I do electrical.

I live in the GTA and I was walking outside for 5 minutes and my hand completely froze.

Pretty much, any exposed skin will freeze quite fast in those temps. Heck even -1 without gloves can suck after a while. It's why I don't do work on my own car. I rather pay someone that will do it inside a heated garage.

looks like your solution is to have a heated garage.

Oh I want to do that eventually. Need to bring in more power, install plugs and other electrical, than insulate/drywall. Also need to add a ceiling and blown attic insulation. Though, my garage is too small to work on a car, so it would be mostly just a workshop type area. I could maybe park my car in it to let snow melt off it when it gets really bad though. Like right now I have this thick layer of snow/ice along the trunk and part of the back window since the last time we had freezing rain. I wont be able to open my trunk until like June or whenever the snow starts to melt. I'd have to leave it parked in a heated garage for a night or so to get rid of all that.

Carwash could work too though...I may have to do that.

Winnipeg has ya beat. It was -54 with windchill this week. Think it hit -37. It was bitterly cold. But yes, cold is still cold. Who cares if it's -30 or -40, still the same.

 

[iamwiz82]

Even Canadian forecasts are nicer.

It is really super cold out there

 

[rudeguy]

-4F here right now. Its freaking nasty!

I let my car warm up for 20 minutes this morning and it didn't even feel warm. It finally got above freezing in there right about the time I got to work.

Roads are shit and won't get any better til the it warms up enough for the salt to work.

I haven't seen my testes in days. I hope they are ok.

Sounds like southern California... out there my neighbors would light their fireplaces and smoke out the block when it was 65 degrees...

Haha.

That's not cold. (As has been pointed out.)

While watching the news they showed a time lapse video of an egg freezing to a pan in just under 5 minutes....lol

Having used to live in Vancouver, have to say that I'd rather have colder temps but with days of sunshine. That constant cloudiness/rain is really depressing.

 

[iamwiz82]

While not as cold as some places, my testes retreated after walking outside this morning.

Yesterday morning:

Just an FYI for people that own these type of La Crosse clocks, they bottom out at -22. Which is strange considering they are made by a company in La Crosse Wisconsin.
