murrays 0 #1 January 29, 2008 So, over the noon hour I took a few things to the bank and then walked back to our office....4 blocks. When I came in the lobby of our building a fellow coming out said, "Your nose is really frozen!" I sure did...half of it was white and thumped when I tapped it with my finger. I got up to my office as fast as I could to try and take a picture with my iSight. The frozen part had started to unthaw by the time I got the photo but you can see a paler area...the unfrozen parts were red like the rest of my face. In sunny Saskatoon Saskatchewan, Canada while I was out walking it was -51 Celsius with wind chill which translates to -60 F for you non-Celsius folk. The air temperature was -37 C, -35F.

Fuzzy 0 #7 January 29, 2008 But in Saskatoon, it's a "dry cold" so to be fair -51 really only feels like -50. Take a laddle or cup full of warm water and throw it in the air, I did that a number of years ago in weather like that and the water crystalized on the way up, very cool (yeah pun intended). There's a picture of that at home somewhere, will try to find it. Fuzzy Ambition / Ability: Know the difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildfan75 1 #10 January 29, 2008 Thanks for starting this thread. I was just about to post my current conditions and ask for other to beat is so I'd feel better. Currently in the Twin Cities its -6F with -30F windchill. Winds are 22mph gusting to 35mph. That makes the "Real Feel" temp -38F. Yesterday's high temp was 42F. That's a swing of 80 degrees (using the real feel temp) in less than 24 hours. I love Minnesota! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shell666 0 #15 January 29, 2008 It's only -28oC here right now with a windchill of -41oC. It was -36oC when I left for work this AM (windchill of -47oC). It's going down to -39oC tonight. Not sure what the windchill will bring but I'm guessing as cold or colder than you had today. NOT looking forward to that. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caab0103 At least it's warming up for the weekend! 'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Went back in and put on the shorts. I did keep on the long-sleeve shirt though. It was breezy and I thought that it might cool off. Probably 73-75 deg.
