I hope everyone affected by the fun weather in the US is doing ok. Our
office was shutdown for a couple of days due to lots of snow and
sub-zero temps (Fahrenheit). Windchill one day was about -40. I
haven’t seen weather like this for quite some time.

Ken:
I won’t tell you what our temperatures have been here, but they’ve been
a bit warmer than what you’ve been experiencing. The cold didn’t reach
as southwest as we are.
Good to know someone had the common sense to shut down a company and
tell people to stay home. No one should be outside for any reason in
that kind of weather!
Did you have any particular problems with your house or vehicles?

Here in Utah we missed out on the bitter cold. Snowing today which is
much needed.
I get a kick when they showed maps of the US with the cold dipping down
and talking about the poor schmucks in Minnesota…but I’m thinking
about the poor shmucks further North in Canada!

I’ve heard it’s been very dry there. We’re also dryer than normal but
not terrible.

Fortunately not. The cars sit in the garage and we never lost power,
so we were ok. A town a little north of us had a major power outage.
I felt sorry for the power company linemen…having to restore power
in that weather. Yikes.
It is 14 degrees F right now…seems almost balmy by comparison.

I love snow and I don’t mind normal cold…but the temps we had this
past weekend are not my idea of fun. Fortunately temps are rising and
we should be getting more snow in a day or two.

Out here in Boston the winter conditions are always good for fodder to
give to the talking weather-heads on the boob-tube. They’ve got to have
some “dire conditions” to earn their pay.

Hi Ken,
I don’t envy you in those weather conditions. I simply would not cope.
We are currently having days of between 90 and 100 Fahrenheit - now THAT
is my kind of weather
Take care of yourself.

Yes, we’re in our third year of drought. There’s been no rain this
season. We had one rain storm in September, one snowstorm in December,
and nothing else. We have our fingers crossed the skies will open in
February, if not sooner. and rain all spring. If we don’t get lots of
rain, we’ll be in trouble this summer.

Yes, if you’re going to work for an electric company, better move
south! I’ve heard that the arctic air is supposed to go back up to
where it belongs, and temperatures get warmer over the next week.
You’ll probably be in the 50’s before you know it, at least, I hope so!

Too hot for me. I don’t like it over 80.

I know what you mean. They made it sound so bad in Indiana that
stores were running out of food on Saturday.
Hey Susan,
[color=blue]

Lucky you. (said facetiously of course) In the past 10 years we’ve had
one year that was above normal precipitation…and that was 5 years ago.
We rely on reservoirs in this desert state, the 2nd driest in the US,
and currently they are at 30% of normal fill for this time of year and
so far this year we’re at about 70% of normal precipitation which isn’t
enough to bring it up to usable levels. If we don’t get a lot more
rain/snow from here until May, we’re in deep doodo. I think all of us
here in the west, where the people from the East ignore us and we’re
usually grateful for that, are lined up for some major water problems.

I’m with you! I think my perfect temp would be 68F/20C. Just so it
feels good to have the sun shine on you without making it hot.

Hey Kim,
My friends and co-workers would agree with you - they all prefer the
temps to be in the mid 20’s (Celcius).
For some unknown reason I really enjoy hot weather - perhaps being born
at this time of year when it is so hot has something to do with it. But
then I must add that I don’t have to do manual work outside in the full
sun.
You will enjoy this for the joke it is… my mom had air conditioners
installed in my home as she couldn’t cope with the heat and humidity
where I live. I only use them in winter to warm my place up 
I sincerely hope that you get more precipitation and can avoid having
water shortages.
Cheers,

Hey Kim,
LOL, I don’t cope too well with the Northern hemisphere from about
October through to April! My South African version of a snow jacket was
purchased in 2010. I have lost 33 Kg’s since then. I am loathe to buy
a new jacket that I won’t get much use of. I guess that I will be the
Michelin Man at BrainShare in November. You won’t miss me in the crowd
