Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
For the first time in 6 years we finally succumbed and put our heating on
I walked to.meet a friend , had lunch and then walked back. My legs were on fire by the time I got back.
I just hope that my summer bribes have worked and that dispatch have kept the plane in the hanger when I fly on Saturday.
Walk rounds are not fun in this weather

That and the habit of comparing with the same date in past years...as if the nth day of the month a couple of decades ago was some sort of accurate guide to what it would be this year.

Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
It sure is. No more struggling with vapour lock when trying to start the engine and last flight I pegged the VSI off the scale even at Vx. I got momentarily confused when I was already at circuit height before I'd turned crosswind but the walkround is brutal and my instructor and I have very differing views on cabin heat

It's the same here. I'm afraid my imploring of the dog "please crap in a speedy fashion" quite soon gave way to a more forceful message "shit, will ya?!". Even dressed like one of orly's thugs my nose was frozen in seconds.

A Facebook friend's comment was that her dog has decided to pee indoors during the cold snap...

I fully anticipate finding a few deceased feral cats and kittens in the back garden tomorrow (last year I found 2) - my neighbour was telling me she has found cats alive with ears and tails literally snapped off from being frozen, in previous years.

Not fun at all. I was very glad, for that reason, that my dog would use a 'pee pad' when the weather got extremely inclement if I told her to (though she loved the snow).

EMS have found drunks frozen to the pavement before now.
Thermometer outside reads -23ish right now.

Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
Usually during the spring thaw there's at least one person found in a snow bank , presumably shoved there by the plow

Minus 30 with the windchill just now which is a tad low for St John's and 35-40cm of snow to look forward too Friday afternoon
