18 Jan 05 - 08:46 PM (#1381856) Subject: RE: BS: eese berry cold ear mange From: CarolC Down in the lower 20s F here last night and tonight, which is pretty cold for southeastern Alabama, USA (don't know how that translates into C. - probably a few degrees below zero). It went down into the teens a couple of nights during December. On the up side, this past summer was not quite as hot as usual, staying mostly in the mid 90s F during the day and going all the way down into the 70s F at night, most nights. |

Didn't get up much above the teens during the day either. Kendall tells me that this is just chilly and to wait and see what February brings! I'm off down to Orlando for a few days at the end of the month, to visit with my son and his family who are holidaying there. What kind of temperatures can I expect? |

18 Jan 05 - 09:29 PM (#1381886) Subject: RE: BS: eese berry cold ear mange From: Bee-dubya-ell Jacqui, Orlando in February can be a bit of a crapshoot. We did an outdoor art show in St. Augustine, which is about 85 miles northeast of Orlando, last February and froze our asses off. Sleet, snow flurries, and didn't get above freezing all day. All the artists from up north were going "We though we left this shit at home!" It's not common, but it can certainly happen. Average February temps in Orlando are more like lows in the mid-forties (fahrenheit) and highs in mid-sixties. But that's just average - weird shit can happen. Pack appropriately. |

18 Jan 05 - 10:56 PM (#1381947) Subject: RE: BS: eese berry cold ear mange From: harpgirl Sunday night I was camped at Blackwater River State Park and it was nippy. I could see my breath and I had a good fire of pinewood from the UWF campus. My son was not too happy that I was picking up deadfall around his Residence Hall! I had a heater inside my camper so I was toasty. In the morning it was cold and I had another fire and had a hooded sweatshirt on! My hands were cold, which reminded of how cold they would get in Michigan and all the lovely snow! Not really cold here at all, I say.... Plus you can eat a few Clementine oranges and it seems like permanent summer... |

When I was 12-14 I used to walk a paper route for an hour every morning, and I 'have' done that at 3 below. Nothing like they are getting in Minnesota and in places like Alberta though, I suppose...54º below is scary! |

19 Jan 05 - 05:24 AM (#1382096) Subject: RE: BS: eese berry cold ear mange From: gnu Last Friday it was 16C and I had patches of green grass on the lawn. After Monday's storm, the lawn is fluffy white, waist deep in the drifts, and it's now -35C windchill (-24C with 17 kph wind). That's what we call "nipply", but you gotta say it in a high-pitched voice. Oh yeah, heavy snowfall warning with high wind for tomorrow. |

19 Jan 05 - 01:48 PM (#1382406) Subject: RE: BS: eese berry cold ear mange From: GUEST,Charmion at work The range of our electronic indoor-outdoor thermometer is not quite adequate for an Ottawa winter; it bottoms out at -30 degrees Celsius. We've gone off the gauge twice this winter, on the Monday before Christmas (-32C in still air, God knows what with the wind chill) and yesterday (-30 in still air, -40 with the wind chill). Today it's merely kinda cold at -19, but a major snowstorm has hit us from the southwest. This morning (as often happens in January) I came down with a bad case of fantasizing about living somewhere else. Ireland seems good -- not cold (by our standards) in winter, not hot in summer, and people read a lot and play music in bars ... |

19 Jan 05 - 01:56 PM (#1382410) Subject: RE: BS: eese berry cold ear mange From: GUEST Yeah, here in Minnesota it has been gruesome. A terrible tragedy last weekend, where a disabled woman on a motorized scooter was locked out of the place where she had been at a wedding, fell off her scooter, and froze to death. And that wasn't the only death, I think there were two others over the past week, where people froze to death. Mercifully, at 20 below it doesn't take long to freeze to death, and they say you just fall asleep. We are now up out of the deep freeze, which we are happy to see moving east! |

19 Jan 05 - 06:11 PM (#1382645) Subject: RE: BS: eese berry cold ear mange From: McGrath of Harlow To avoid confusion, here is a scale showing how Fahrenheit and Centigrade compare. (Key thing to remember is, water freezes at Zero centigrade and 32 Fahrenheit.) Yeah, and I know they keep on calling Centigrade "Celius" these days - but that's a nonsense, because, when Celsius invented his scale, he split the temperatures between water freezing and water boiling into 100 degrees all right - but he called freezing point "100 degrees", and boiling point "Zero degrees". Which ain't quite the same thing. |

19 Jan 05 - 07:11 PM (#1382700) Subject: RE: BS: eese berry cold ear mange From: hilda fish I always love emailing my friend in Inverness particularly when he says its a really hot 16 C (summer) and I can say it's a pretty cold 16C (winter) here in Sydney although we can go down to 8C which is a shocker. I was in Vienna and Brussels towards the end of last year and I always get quite frightened by -10C as it was in Vienna so when I read the temperatures that you guys all over the world are dealing with (and I know that we do adapt and survive as humans!) I am so grateful for our mild to warm temps here. I was born for the desert I think. While 45C kills most I stretch and say ' anyone for a walk?' Love those hot days. |

It looked very eerie; greyish-white ice with houses and cars sticking out. Our sunshine has gone for now, it's raining today with occasional thunder and lightning. Binky The Brave Cat hasn't been seen for a few hours, not since the thunder began again. Cheers JennieG |
