Go to Horny Jail Canada/Cold Snap thread

We had three days with highs in the teens this weekend and are now on our 7th day with highs the 20s and below (since 1884 January average low is 38 and average high is 48).

Had a little snow on Friday and Saturday but only a dusting. Been weird to be so cold and no snow but I appreciate the lack crazy ice driving.

Of course Saturday evening my driver’s side window controls decided to shit the bed. In the down position. Add in Sunday and then MLK and it was today until I could at least get someone to manually roll it up (be Thursday or Friday for part to get in). That was fun.

Anyone else got weather?

Lows in the low 20s and upper teens yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Monday didn’t get above freezing and today topped out around 35. Tomorrow’s high is supposedly in the 40s before getting up to 70 on Thursday before going back to the 40s Friday and over the weekend.

Only a small amount of freezing drizzle Monday morning, otherwise dry. A business just outside my neighborhood forgot to turn off their sprinkler system.

Been in the negative teens with -40ish wind chills. Got a heat wave today where it got up to 10 tho - woohoo! Lots of pretty snow!

40 F was the absolute lowest we got this year in South China.

I saw some florida people in winter coats so I guess it is cold out. I am not sure if I felt cold the other day, or if I had a fever from COVID.

Fucking lizards are raining down because supposedly it is cold, but I don't think it is actually cold yet. I can walk in shorts and a t-shirt outside and maybe not get hot.

I think it got down to like 37° F a few weeks ago. Lots of rain though, recently.

I got a couple of inches.

Sure, if you say so.

That did make me laugh.

Oh hell no! That can fuck the fuck RIGHT off.

Well, thanks to my kerosene heater, I'm not going to have to worry about freezing to death, not sure how well the plumbing is going to make it through this night. If I'm lucky, my jerry-rigged solution will keep it from freezing, but I won't know until it warms up on Thursday. Then I get to repeat the process this weekend.

Just a bit of advice, drain the system. If you know it is coming, you can cut off the water where it comes into the house and drain the system. My grandparents did it all the time as snowbirds. If you are in a house and have access to the water systems you simply turn the water off where it comes into the house and there should be a valve to let you drain the system, or once it is depressurized from the pump you could just drain the hot water tank if you had to. That should suck enough water from the full pipes to allow them to freeze if they will and save them.

The problem with the pipes breaking in the house is they are behind the walls. You can deal with the pipes you can easily get to if those go bad, so you drain the house pipes and deal with some bottled water for a few days if you are worried about it in an area where you do not have proper heating because freezing is not an issue. Even with public water there needs to be a prime shut off which you should be able top access or have a plumber do an emergency shut off and back drain the piping.

still practically no snow

temperature dropped from hovering around 5C a few days ago to -15 this morning

It got down to 65 here, and that was at 3 in the morning. You could smell the burning lint in the heaters.

are we gonna get to page 2 without anyone commenting on the boobies?

B cups maybe?

It was 9 degrees this morning when I left for work. The high was 32 today. Supposed to be in the teens tonight.

I am a little pissed even Canadia can get boobies and mine still have not come yet.

Got up to 33 today. Felt like I should have been in shorts and a tshirt compared to yesterday's 19°

You can take the boy out of the gender, but you can’t take the gender out of the boy.



Honestly, I have no idea what I mean in this context. Nor the OP.

I was gonna say that weather maps make a pretty good Rorschach test...

It was a little chilly here today, a high of 61. Almost had to switch from shorts to pants.

Both y’all to Horny Jail.

but Baby, it's COLD outside!!

God dammit UK.

Got a foot of snow, whole city basically shut down

Everyone has this vision of Canadians being total roughnecks when it comes to winter conditions, and while that's true across much of this country, in Vancouver we are complete and total pussies when we get the slightest amount of snow on the ground and just panic, shut down and have a good cry

I might take that over all the road salt these incompetent fucktards seem to think they need. Rotting my vehicles out from under me because THEY can't fucking drive on a little snow.

I was just thinking I wish they’d add more salt. We don’t all have a jeep, dammit!

Whilst this is true, if y'all have doggos, wash their paws if they've walked in the salt - it's not good for them if they lick it.

I love rolling in the freshly salted slush. A good brine bath does wonders for the skin.
