Air temp or that 'real feel' temp I keep on hearing about?

I went to Tremblant yesterday - 11 c at the top and reasonably pleasant to ski.. Today is supposed to be -25 at the top and lots of wind. I guess that is one way to have the crowds to thin out.

Or home. I hope your ear and your tractor battery and all the other aspects recover in due course.

It's been a nightmare here too: we were without central heating for three days largely due to my rather poor eyesight and that fact the asshole we bought our flat from thought it best to throw away all the manuals for the various appliances.

On the other hand it wasn't colder than a £20 2Kw electric heater couldn't handle.

There's a storm coming? Thankfully neither car is stuck in the snow, the truck and the tractor are snug in the garage (with manually operated doors) and the ducks are still alive but did seem a little pee'd off this morning and one has stopped laying in protest. It's effing cold.

Bloody hell! Get a hat on man and be damned with vanity!

Sounds like you are having somewhat of a crap day... hope it improves!

Are your ducks under cover with something to snuggle into? I always feel so bad for wildlife when it's this damn cold (not that your ducks are wildlife, but you know what I mean!)

FFS, it’s arsehole, arsehole, arsehole. You’re in the UK now. It’s time to talk properly.

It’s probably part of nature’s culling process, but disturbing nonetheless.

They are inside a cordwood constructed barn with lots of straw and a couple of lamps. They have a heated water bowl, but they like to lie in the snow during the day. Yes I knew about the cold weather warning but the word 'storm' makes me think of 3 feet of snow.

‘‘Twas indeed positively tropical in the area yesterday.

Today, not so much, the wind was quite vicious: the only part of me exposed to the elements when I went on a 5 minute milk run to the dépanneur was my eyes. There were icicles on my lashes when I got there :/. My thermometer says -32, but I think it’s frozen.

I’m not amused either.

I could have stayed in Hong Kong...

Heavy snow in the forecast. Sunday, Monday, next Wednesday fortnight, Accuweather knows as well as we do. The chickens are on strike which is just as well as their eggs freeze before they can be collected and go to waste.

New tractor battery awaits daylight for fitting. Once the tractor is running all will be well.

Look. If I'm going to work and I spend 25 minutes sculpting my comb over, I am not going to flatten that work with some bobble hat just because I have some shoveling to do. It's better to look good than to feel good.

-67c in New Hampshire

Sunday night right? For the snow, I have to drive to Kingston and back on Sunday, prefer not in a snowstorm. We have one frozen egg a day which I give to the dogs, the other 3 are laid in a nest and are nice and warm when I collect them.

Now they say Sunday but I haven't forgotten all that "mainly cloudy" that had to be cleared last week. I don't trust them at all. I hope it doesn't fall tomorrow. Apart from the pain and suffering involved in the weather there's the inconvenience; we took the kitchen cupboards to the dump and need time indoors to patch and paint before the new lot come. Tractor fiddling eats into the drywalling time.

I don't what you lot are moaning about, it's been drizzling on and off all day here.

Must be a bit chilly waiting for the bus up there.
