Another Vortex on the way for our area Mon. and Tue. Wind chills anywhere from -40 to -60. WTH?!

Also had 4" of snow yesterday and another lovely 5" this morning. My snow banks are getting to the point where I can't add much more to them without knocking the pile down some first. LOL

You should turn the snow piles into igloos.

Already received a voice mail from the school telling us they're cancelling classes tomorrow due to extreme cold. I'll be staying indoors as much as possible.

 

[snickerd3]

Our glass birdbath froze and shattered in the cold snap a couple of weeks ago. Shards of glass were everywhere.

They make glass birdbaths?

It was the one with the sun on it.

I went running Saturday morning. It was 11 degrees when I left the house. It was so cold that icicles formed in my beard!

Yesterday afternoon it was over 50 degrees, tomorrow the high won't get above freezing.

 

[snickerd3]

[Master slacker]

Absolute downpour now and will continue to rain the remainder of day. Beginning tonight the temp will stay below freezing until sometime Wednesday and sleet / freezing rain / snow will ensue. Insurance companies will have their phones lit up very soon.

It's not cold until you start having snot-cicles hang from your face.

FWIW, it's still freezing in my office.

Roundabout the same time "Superstorm" was invented.

I think the term "polar vortex" has been around for a while in the meteorology world. It's the new buzz word for the media now.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

I think they got tired of using The Alberta Clipper and The Polar Express.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Because they can't say it's f*cking cold.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Just cancelled an event for inclement weather....the event was to be THURSDAY!

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

It's absolutely frigid here, and everything is open. Business as usual.

 

[NJmike PE]

They say that temps are going to plummet throughout the night. Eventual wind chills of -20 degrees.
