Weather & Road Report

And for this holiday weekend it will be in the low 60's. At least we'll be out of the this 40's and low 50's #######...

Holiday - what holiday?

It's still chilly here, I just put on the furnace to warm it up to 67 - it's been 65 in here generally. <<<< That is the weather report from inside my house.

I had no idea it was a holiday on Monday, either. My husband mentioned MLK Jr day in passing this morning and I had to ask if he had it off. What do I know..... we never got any stat days in January in Canada. Anyway, he's federal so he has it off.... but he has to work on Sunday so it's not much of a long weekend for him. lol

Okay, when the temperature goes waaaaaaaaaay up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and it feels balmy, you know things are ridiculous.

It has been warmer in Anchorage this last week.

The weather is wonderful today, in the upper 70s and clear, blue skies. What the heck are we doing indoors

[hheaven67 2]

A couple days ago it was 80F here...and in Saskatoon, SK it was -69F with the wind chill! brrrrr....glad I'm not there anymore! lol had 41 winters, that was enough for me! honestly, feels pretty weird to be wearing shorts in the middle of January!

Well we have actually made it up to the warmest part of the day - at midnight is is now up to 41 degrees F after being in the high 30s most of the day and after several nights where it was 13 and 16 degrees. Inside we keep the thermostat set at 65 but it is nice not to hear the furnace running all the time again. Won't last though :-( - another arctic cold spell is supposed to come through and there are freezing rain/sleet warnings out for here tonight and tomorrow and snow in Atlanta. Winter, bah humbug!

[Emancipation 2]

Snow here (and a weather warning - because there are a few flurries - wimpy New Englanders)... and -13..

Its 69F here, partially cloudy.

I learned something on Friday from Chris' boss, because I never grew up with imperial, only metric.

So to do a quick conversion from C to F (they're off by 1-2 F, but close enough, for numbers up to 70F, and then they get skewed by a several more degrees)

Convert Temp from C to F

Multiply by 2

Add 30

Ex: 15C -> 15x2 = 30 + 30 = 60F

Convert Temp from F to C

Minus 30

Divide by 2

Ex: 60F -> 60 - 30 = 30 / 2 = 15C

Kathryn, I loved that!

You can add the one I find most interesting:

It is a clandestine meeting of F and C:

at -40 degrees.

Hee, hee.

Your method is really great in a pinch MrsCat!

Snow! You reminded me to look at the webcam of where I used to live because my parents told me it was snowing and snowing yesterday. Someone is skating on the ice rink! (You have to wait for the camera to pan back to the icerink if you want to watch them..... it takes 3 different views.)

Finally came out of our cold snap yesterday...had been between -28 and -44 for the last week. School was canceled all over the province on Thursday, and I nearly got frostbite on 'me #######' waiting outside the consulate Thursday!

So out of the cold snap, but of course...snow...35ish cms overnight and this morning.

Bo messaged me from work around lunch time saying schools had been canceled for the rest of the day around Raleigh due to the threat of "1-2 inches of snow"
