Baller bananaron Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 I thought I would post this mornings temp for you ballers who live in a warm or warmer climate.Its 36 below zero here in northern MN. and the windchill is 50 below zero.Saturday we should be at 32 above which will be tropical.It was nice and warm in the hot tub and sauna last night we sure are glad we bought those this past fall.Have a great day wherever you are and if you can take a ski run.ENJOY..............

Baller_ Wish Posted January 30, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted January 30, 2019 My entire family lives in MN. Apparently I'm the only family member that got the memo that says you don't have to live there. @bananaron sounds like you all could use some global warming or climate change or whatever it's called these days. Stay warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 -27 F in S. MN. -46 or so wind chill. Just got done clearing the drive. Going snowmobiling about noon. Dress right and you are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller oldjeep Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 @scotchipman - lakes and forests everywhere. The winter weather keeps most of the coastal riffraff out. It only gets -20's for a week in jan typically. Otherwise the winters here are quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller epnault Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 I think it is because there are some great jobs in the Midwest. Most of us do question why the hell we are here during the winters though @swc5150 is that really your MPG on that awesome truck you have.

Baller_ MISkier Posted January 30, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted January 30, 2019 I figure I’ll just stay here until the north gets past this fluctuation and becomes basically tropical. The regular cycle of warming will eventually complete and chase all that arctic air away until the next downturn cycle. During that warm period, it will really be the place to be. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller thager Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 Just gained a degree in temp here. That is "climate change". Snowflakes need a more hilarious term for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller akale15 Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 @scotchipman I couldn't agree more...I would love to get out of the Midwest and move to the Rockys! Although NE IN does have its fair share of lakes it does lack any amount of forests and the winters are cold and windy with little to no snow. Sure it may be affordable and a "great place to raise a family" but geographically it sucks. Unless of course you are a farmer or like long straight and majorly potholed roads (specificity Interstate 69 between Fort Wayne and Indianapolis). Hopefully the migration can happen in the near future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller swc5150 Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 Not starting a discussion or being political, just pointing something out..."Global Cooling" became "Global Warming" in the 80's. Then "Global Warming" became "Climate Change". "Climate Change" is currently transitioning into the term "Extreme Weather". If you're hunkered down in the midwest, youtube Leonard Nimoy's "In search of", "the coming ice age" episode. Feels like today here in WI:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted January 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2019 We're always just one good volcanic eruption away from a new ice age. I preferred when everyone was concerned about pollution, it is a lot less fear mongering and something you can actually see and measure. The average temp going up or down a few degrees only causes fear in folks who don't understand what an average is. The temp can swing 70 degrees in a day around here.

Baller 6balls Posted January 31, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 31, 2019 So I was at work today, my car wouldn't start after work. I get a lift home. My daughters car in the driveway won't start. Got to jump it...the hood is frozen shut. Go back to work to jump mine...it starts but no gears will engage. Let it run a while, shut it down, jump it again and it will now engage and is in the garage...my daughters hood still frozen shut. This is damned nutty cold, folks. I didn't try it...but was told that if one threw boiling water up in the air it would be solid before reaching the ground. I'm skeptical...but not entirely skeptical having been out there.

Baller jhughes Posted January 31, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 31, 2019 Northern IL here, -20F this morning. Jan-Feb is really the worst part about the midwest living but other than that, it's great. The holidays are great, I don't mind winter during that time. There's something about how magical the summer is here. Lack of major natural disasters, lack of critters that want to kill us, central location for quick shipping and flights. Fall is magical. Lakes everywhere, and 5 hours north is northern Wisconsin which is one of the most beautiful places on earth. We've thought about moving to the south but there's so much more to life besides warm temps. I have a coworker who relocated his family from West Palm to here and wouldn't go back for any reason (not a skier). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Sethro Posted January 31, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 31, 2019 Northwest IL here....I was a bit disappointed not to see -34, as I saw -33 once before about 10 years ago. We apparently set the all time lowest temp for the state at -38 a bit northwest of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted January 31, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 31, 2019 Fun fact: If the temp is -40, you don't have to ask if that's Celcius or Farenheit. (They're the same.) See, there's a silver lining to everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted January 31, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 31, 2019 @Than_Bogan I have only experienced -40 once in Canada 11 years ago and asked the question :). No phones no internet so when I got back to the hotel, I went straight to check the formula. It feels good to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dbski Posted February 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted February 2, 2019 Everyone is freaking out, it was two cold days. It's winter! My house is still standing. It wasn't blown down by a hurricane or burnt down by a fire. Everyone knew it was coming for over a week and had plenty of time to prepare. You stay inside where its 68 degrees and if you go outside you dress for it. My dogs and I went on our two daily walks with no problems. I walked outside this morning at 20 degrees and it felt like spring! Tomorrow and Monday it's forecasted to be in the 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller oldjeep Posted February 6, 2019 Baller Share Posted February 6, 2019 We got about 3" of snow yesterday and there is supposed to be another 3-5 coming today. If it were not for the couple of 40 degree days and the rain that created a sheet of ice under the snow then it would be perfect around here.

Baller_ Rednucleus Posted February 6, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted February 6, 2019 Here in the tropical PNW it's 10 degrees this morning. That calculates to a 42 degree ski day which is TCTS even for me. Anything under 20 degrees for more than a day or two is unusual around here and looks like we are in for at least another week. Remarkably the hummingbirds are still here pounding down the sugar water - amazing creatures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
