This Northern/Southern hemisphere temperature difference gets a bit weird at this time of the year............ :cool:

Here in Missouri, you never know what you are going to get....and the temperature seems to change constantly. I really think the change is what gets to me more than anything. Last week we had a day with a 40 degree temperature change (happened inside of a couple hours...went from 60s to 20s, then the next couple days were in the single digits).

When I used to live in Michigan it got a lot colder...but the temp swings were not so wild, so it seemed easier to deal with.
Thanks,

It's 55 °F here in the western Mojave. Took the trash out this morning and had to put a sleeveless sweater vest on over my tank top to keep the chill off....


I, too, wish my car computer was smart enough to turn on the seat warmers when I remote start in the cold. If the heater needs to be on, then the seats need to be on.

Because this 55 degree weather is killin' me... :p

Only a degree or two warmer in this part of the state. Deacmobile was decidedly unhappy about starting this morning, and even less so after I finished shopping. She's only a bit over 2 years old, but this is her third winter so it may be the battery. Or it just may be it's not getting enough time to charge. I don't drive much anymore, especially in the winter, just back and forth to the store a couple or three times a week. The tank was just a hair under half full today when I gassed up today, and the last time I filled it was Dec 6th.

I only got 2 chords. :D :D :D

Apparently Southern Alberta is colder than the rest of Canada (besides up North) all the time now. Global warming isn't here. It's been -20 C / -6 F for way too long!

- best wishes, Jazz.

-20c today.. Still took the sled for a ride!!

Vroom Vroom!! By the way, on a side note - I don't sled without a knife. My sled has a tendency to foul plugs in warm weather. I usually keep a couple spares in the trunk but they are sealed in this ridiculous clam shell packaging. Spyderco to the rescue!! A nice yellow FRN salt I opened a pack today and saved me after flooding and fouling a plug while out on the lake today.
Too many Spydies to list!

No dogs here, but similar temps. Very glad I can just hunker in the bunker today. :) For the Fahrenheit challenged among you, it's -24.4ºC here as I write.
