Let it snow let it snow
Based on the weather across much of North America I guess it's a safe bet that I'm not the only one who's going to be clearing snow tonight.
In case anybody is even the slightest bit interested,  , the link below is to one of a series of webcams a local TV station maintains. It is about 10 miles south-west of my house, if you change "auroracam.html" to "barriecam.html" it will show another one about 15 miles north-west across an inland lake next to me.
Stay warm......
Best of luck.

I know what you mean Randy, I was in Lexington, Ky. for the spring auction at Keeneland a few years back and a nasty snowstorm came through and dumped about 2' of snow.
They called out the National Guard 6X's to bring people in from vehicles stranded on the Interstate. We were staying at the Marriot and they had to use a small tracked dozer to plow the parking lot because there was nothing else available.
Best of luck.
It was downright hilarious to see people trying to deal with it, at least it was for us Canucks.

Since our country uses the Metric system of measuring things our thermometers are calibrtated in both scales, Celcius and Farenheit.
The conversion is fairly simple, multiply deg. C. by 9, divide that by 5 , then add 32, the result is degrees F.
At -40 the two scales converge, -40 is the same thing in both scales.
According to my weahter station here at the house it has hit that point 11 different times this year, once it stayed there for more than 72 hours straight.
The windchill is another story, again the lowest so far is -56 C. (-69 F.) but that was only for a few hours overnight, it warmed up the next day, .
What's even scarier is poor TomG, he lives another few hundred miles north again.
At -15 F. we don't start putting on the t-shirts yet, but we do take off the fur BVD's ......
Best of luck.

Hey, we've got a relative heatwave now, the winds dropped to a light breeze, just enough to keep the mosquitos back, and the temperature has gone all the way up to 22 deg. F. today.
NOW we're breaking out the t-shirts...
Paul, trust me, "actually below freezing" is not cold, when it is 55 or 60 BELOW freezing, thats COLD....
BTW, we get weather of high 90's and high humididty in the summer too. My previously mentioned weather station here at the house says that during 2003 as a whole we had a range of 142 degrees F. from the coldest night to the hottest day.
One of the fellows that works for me says the true test of cold is when you wipe your face and your mustache comes off in your hand. It's happened before......
Best of luck.
