A Wee Bit Chilly

You could say this about Minnesota, too. Forecast for Monday: Brisk. Mostly cloudy. Highs around 18°F (-28°C) below zero. West winds 15 to 25 mph. Wind chill readings 55°F (-48°C) below to 60°F (-51°C) below zero.
I suppose I should dig out a jacket and gloves.

Cold is one thing, when it's cold enough to kill you, that's another. Good luck Dave, hope you make it through ok!

I would say subterranean bunkers are in order, with plenty of supplies.

Known in this part of the world as a Kellerbar.
-
That's a new one for me. It's been a long time since it was as cold as they're forecasting for Monday. I hope it's a long time again.

Hmmm any lager in the keller?
-
That's a good question. I can tell you there's an ale in my beller

Hey Dave
Just finished a stint on a design build project before Christmas where it hit -29. We hooked up a generator and held a hair dryer on the electricians hands so he could do the main drop to a transformer.
Beer doesn't work for that... you need Rum
Good Luck and stay warm. -
Thanks Dale, I hope I don't need a hair dryer to work on the anesthesia machines on Monday.
When I run out of beer I'll switch to scotch.

In a similar chilly vein "Geordie of the Antarctic"...
It's a famous UK skit.
I live in 'Geordie-land'.
Geordies are notorious for going out on the town in mid-winter without coats etc - perhaps they think it's hard, but it's also practical as there is nowhere to leave your coat safely in the late-night clubs, and you can always get a taxi home !
We've hardly had much of a frost this winter [so far!] - although ~20 miles away there's snow 'on the tops' over 150m altitude, and the weather comes from the West... so worse is coming over from the USA any day soon...

I'd never seen that before. Funny.

From a few hours north of here.

(Dave I think you missed a bunch of negative signs in your first post.)
We were at -11F today (-24C). That's pretty cold for us. We're not getting most of this current chill, just a little bit of the end of it.
Good luck out there Dave!
-
Wouldn't -55 below be a double negative?
Thanks for the good wishes. They've called school again for tomorrow because of the cold. It's supposed to be up around freezing for the weekend, though.
-
A sweltering 21 F last night and expecting 18 F tonight. I already went out and euthanized all of my plants.
-
Sure, good point Dave. But you put the negative sign in front of the Celsius numbers, so it was visually confusing to me. Eventually I figured it out, but I never actually noticed that you were typing the phrase "degrees below"....I need to learn better reading comprehension
-
Sorry. Mixed symbology or something.
